(A) Fixing fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all fees provided for in this chapter, including, but not by way of limitation, license fees, shall be fixed and determined by the Council, adopted by resolution, and uniformly enforced. The fees may, from time-to-time, be amended by the Council by resolution. A copy of the resolution shall be kept on file in the office of the City Clerk and open to inspection during regular business hours. For the purpose of fixing the fees, the Council may categorize and classify, provided, that the categorization and classification shall be included in the resolution authorized by this section.
(B) Refundment. A pro-rata share of an annual license fee for a license to sell liquor or beer, either on-sale or off-sale, shall be refunded to the licensee, or to his or her estate, if: the business ceases to operate because of destruction or damage; the licensee dies; or the business ceases to be lawful for a reason other than a license revocation or suspension.
