Retail liquor licenses issued by the Commission and outstanding may be automatically renewed in the absence of a request by the City Council to require the licensee to issue an application for renewal. The City Clerk/Treasurer, upon notice from the Commission, between January 10 and January 30 of each year, shall cause to be published in a legal newspaper in, or of general circulation in the city, one time, a notice in the form prescribed by law of the right of automatic renewal of each retail liquor and beer license within the city; provided, Class C license renewal notices shall be published between the dates of July 10 and July 30 of each year. The City Clerk/Treasurer shall then file with the Commission proof of publication of the notice on or before February 10 of each year or August 10 of each year for Class C licenses. In the event that written protests are filed by three or more residents of the city against the license renewal, the City Clerk/Treasurer shall deliver the protests to the City Council who shall thereupon proceed to notify the Commission that they are to require the licensee to submit an application.
