(A) No later than August 6 of the year for which the permit is applicable, the applicant shall file with the Business License Division a written report ("Sale End Report"), which identifies the revenues and expenses relating to the sale of fireworks conducted during that year and a description of how the applicant intends to spend the revenues remaining after deduction of expenses (the "net proceeds"). Proof the proposed expenditure of the net proceeds has been officially approved by the applicant shall be submitted with the sale end report and could be shown by official minutes of the applicant. The written report required by this division shall, at a minimum, include copies of invoices for purchase of the fireworks and receipts for all expenses.
(B) No later than October 31 of the year in which the sale end report was required to be filed, the applicant shall file, with the Business License Division, a written report showing proof the net proceeds have actually been expended or allocated and of how the net proceeds identified in the applicant's most recent sale end report were actually expended, with proof the expenditure(s) were officially approved by the applicant, which could be shown by official minutes of the applicant. The written report required by this division shall, at a minimum, include copies of checks for any contributions made from net proceeds by the applicant showing the checks have been deposited by the payee.
(C) If the applicant fails to comply with division (A) of this section, then the Chief Executive Officer shall retain $250 of the deposit; and unless the applicant can provide sufficient reasons, as reasonably determined by the Chief Executive Officer, why the applicant failed to comply with division (A) of this section, the applicant will not be able to apply for another permit during the 12-month period immediately following the applicable August 6 deadline.
(D) If the applicant fails to comply with division (B) of this section, then the Chief Executive Officer shall assess a fine of $250 on the applicant. The applicant will not be permitted to apply for another permit or use a permit whose term has not yet expired unless and until that fine is paid in full and will not be permitted to apply for another permit during the 12-month period immediately following the applicable October 31 deadline, unless the applicant can provide sufficient reasons, as reasonably determined by the Chief Executive Officer, why the applicant failed to comply with division (B) of this section. The fine may be collected through whatever legal and equitable means are available, including, but not limited to, rescinding a permit, or requesting equitable relief to prevent the applicant from using a permit, whose term may not yet have expired.
(E) The person named pursuant to § 93.03(B)(3), shall sign all reports required by this section and certify, under penalty of perjury, each is accurate and complete.
