(A) Retail liquor licenses issued under this chapter shall be valid for a 12-month period upon the payment of the license fee as hereinafter set forth unless sooner revoked or suspended. The 12-month period shall be from May 1 to April 30 of the following year.
(B) The license fee shall be payable in advance by the applicant for a license at the time the application for a license is submitted to the Mayor, as hereinbefore provided. A licensee may make arrangements to pay the liquor license fees quarterly. In the event the license is denied, the license fee shall be returned to the applicant. The fees shall be deposited in the General Fund. The application for a license shall be filed with the City Clerk.
(C) One liquor license shall be issued per year and businesses will purchase a sticker quarterly to place on the license. The stickers will be of different color and font for different quarters.
(D) Licenses shall state thereon the names of the licensees and the address and description of the premises for which they are granted and the dates of their issuance and expiration.
(E) With respect to a corporation operating an establishment for which a liquor license has been issued, should the manager of said establishment change after the license has been issued, the corporation must submit the new manager’s name and shall be submitted within 30 days. Continuation of the license will be contingent upon a background check of the new manager as set out in this chapter, and all fees shall be waived should the license be changed only as a result of a change of managers. If, for some reason, the manager is not acceptable, the licensee shall have 30 days to submit a new name before revocation. Failure to provide new information shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of said license.
