A. Certificate Of License: Upon the granting of any application pursuant to this chapter, the applicant shall receive a liquor license certificate, issued by the city clerk, pursuant and subject to the provisions of this chapter, and any terms, conditions or restrictions contained in the license certificate itself. The license certificate shall set forth, among other things, the following:
1. The name of all persons to whom it is issued. If the license is issued under a fictitious name, the license shall set forth, in addition to the fictitious name, the name or names of each of the persons conducting the business under the fictitious name. If it is issued to a corporation, the license shall set forth, in addition to the name of the corporation.
2. The location, by street and number, of the premises for which the license is issued;
3. The date of commencement, which will be the date of issuance and date of termination which will be the last day of the quarter year in which it was granted, subject to revocation, cancellation, suspension, restriction and conditioning, pursuant to this chapter;
4. The particular class of liquor license and of liquors that the licensee is authorized to sell.
B. Term: The license shall be for one quarter.
C. Renewal: The city clerk shall issue a renewal notice prior to the expiration of the liquor license, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. The failure of the city clerk to notify any licensee of the requirement to file a renewal application or to pay the license fee shall not relieve the licensee of those or any other requirements, and the actual receipt of a renewal notice is not a condition precedent to the need to apply for or the issuance of a renewal. Subject to all provisions of this chapter, if at the end of a quarter the licensee holds a valid, unexpired license which has not been revoked, suspended, restricted, conditioned or terminated, such license shall automatically renew for the next quarter without application to the city council upon timely payment of the required license fees and penalties, if any, within the time specified in this chapter; provided, no license shall automatically renew if the licensee is not in compliance with all federal, state and local requirements, including all city requirements. Such renewal license, if renewed automatically pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be on the same terms and conditions as the original license and subject to all provisions of this chapter as if granted after application to the city council.
D. Nonrenewal Due To Noncompliance: A license that is not renewed because it does not comply with federal, state or local requirements, to include any requirement contained in this chapter or the license certificate, or because of nonpayment of any required fees, shall thereupon be automatically revoked.
E. Acceptance Of Conditions: Any licensee receiving a license pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to have accepted the same with all the duties, obligations, restrictions, limitations and other provisions of this chapter as part and parcel of said license, and subject to the faithful compliance with the promises, agreements and representations set forth in the application for such license, without other or further notice, and without each or any of such provisions being specifically incorporated in the license granted.
F. Temporary License: In special or unusual circumstances and in order to prevent undue hardship, the city clerk, with approval of the chief of police, may, upon application therefor, issue a "temporary license" pending the processing of a regular liquor license; provided, however, that at the time any such temporary license is issued by the city clerk, a full and complete application for a regular liquor license shall be on file with the city clerk; further provided, a temporary license shall only be issued if the licensee or any business association with respect to which the licensee is an owner, partner, member, officer, director or shareholder has not had a liquor license revoked within five (5) calendar days of the date of application for the temporary license; and, further provided, all required fees, to include delinquent fees, shall have been paid. Such license shall be valid for thirty (30) days or until approval or denial of the final application by the city council for a regular liquor license, whichever occurs first. At least one quarterly license fee pursuant to section 4-5-12 of this chapter must be paid at the time of issuance of the temporary license.
G. Elko City Code Compliance: No liquor license may be issued or renewed pursuant to this chapter if the applicant, licensee or licensed business is in violation of any provision of this code which impacts the licensed business or operation thereof. (Ord. 777, 9-10-2013)
