(A) Determination of Licenses Issued: The mayor and village board of trustees shall by motion and majority vote determine the number of licenses to be issued in each class.
(B) Renewal and Expiration: In the event a license is not renewed at the expiration thereof or is surrendered by the licensee at any time, then a license in the same class and for the same location as that license shall be available for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of surrender or expiration of the license. At the expiration of the thirty calendar days, the license will no longer be available for issuance without approval of the mayor and village board of trustees. All terms, conditions and fees as set forth in this code shall apply to a license issued pursuant to this section. Nothing in this section shall prevent the village mayor and board of trustees from decreasing the number of licenses issued in the village or shall be construed as creating a vested right in the issuance of a license.
(C) Change In Class: Requests from a current liquor license holder to change from a class that allows for the retail sale of all alcoholic liquors to a class that allows for the retail sale of wine, and beer only may be granted by the local liquor control commissioner without village board approval as long as all other terms of the new class are the same or more restrictive than the previous class.
