A. Schedule Of Fees, Number Of Licenses Authorized To Be Issued: The annual fees to be paid for all classes of liquor licenses and the number of licenses available to be issued are set forth in section 4-18-1 of this title.
B. Fees Paid With Application:
1. All license fees shall be tendered with the application for license and the fees shall be paid by a certified check, cashier's check, or business check, made payable to the city. Upon the liquor control commissioner's approving the issuance of any license, the fee for the license shall be delivered to the director of finance to be deposited to the general corporate fund. A separate nonrefundable license application processing fee in the amount set forth in section 4-18-1 of this title plus reasonable additional costs shall be tendered with each application submitted for license. Such additional costs shall include, but are not limited to, fingerprinting fees for each applicant, manager, on site supervisor, and bartender, and their successors and assigns in the amount set forth in section 4-18-1 of this title. Said fee shall be paid by certified check or cashier's check made payable to the city.
2. Provided, however, the fee after July 1 of a year may be apportioned. Said apportionment shall be determined by the number of quarters left in the applicant's licensing year. The apportionment shall be allowed as a credit based on the number of quarters (3 month period) remaining in the license year. If there are less than three (3) months remaining, there shall be no apportionment of the fee; however, the license shall be good through the following June 30 of the subsequent calendar year.
3. No reissuance of a liquor license shall occur if other fines or fees are pending or unpaid.
C. Liquor License Fees When License Classification Increased:
1. Whenever a liquor license for a given premises is increased to a less restrictive classification during the year for which another liquor license exists for that premises, or if such change in the liquor license classification is made in any subsequent year for said premises, the fee for the new classification shall be that specified in this chapter for the first year of such less restrictive classification.
2. Provided, however, that the liquor control commissioner may apportion the fee of a liquor license holder when said holder applies for and is granted a less restrictive license. Said apportionment shall be determined by the number of quarters left in the applicant's licensing year. The apportionment shall be allowed as a credit based on the number of complete quarters (3 month period) remaining in the license year. If there are less than three (3) months remaining, there shall be no apportionment of the fee as a credit against the more expensive liquor license. (Ord. M-19-13, 10-7-2013)
