(A) No license or other fee established by the city shall exceed any limit established by M.S. Ch. 340A, as it may be amended from time to time, for an intoxicating liquor or 3.2% malt liquor license.
(B) The Council may establish from time to time by ordinance or resolution the fee for any of the liquor licenses it is authorized to issue. No liquor license fee shall be increased without providing mailed notice of a hearing on the proposed increase to all affected licensees at least 30 days before the hearing.
(C) The fee for all licenses except temporary licenses, granted after the commencement of the license year shall be prorated; but no such prorate fee shall be accepted from any private club or public place which has violated the permit requirement. In computing such fee, any unexpired fraction of a month shall be counted as one month. The written receipt shall be posted in some conspicuous place upon the premises alongside the permit and shall be kept posted at all times.
(D) All license fees shall be paid in full at the time the application is filed with the city. If the application is denied, the license fee shall be returned to the applicant.
(E) A refund of a pro rata share of an annual license fee may occur only if authorized by M.S. §340A.408, Subd. 5, as it may be amended from time to time.
