If the holder of any license shall fail to pay the regulatory license fee imposed by this Section within ten (10) days of the due date, an automatic penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be assessed for the first offense. An automatic penalty of one hundred dollars ($100.00) shall be assessed on the second offense, and an automatic penalty of two hundred dollars ($200.00) shall be assessed on the third offense. In addition to the monetary penalty, the City Alcoholic Beverage Control Administrator shall hold a hearing for a second and third offense requiring the licensee to show cause why the license should not be suspended or revoked with full authority to do so upon appropriate findings. The calculation of the number of offenses for the purpose of invoking the above penalties shall be done on a twelve (12) month basis, with the number of offenses being reduced to zero at the beginning of each new license period.
