   (A)   Commencing with fiscal year 2019-2020, there shall be imposed upon and collected from the holder of any related alcoholic beverage license issued by the City, an initial regulatory license fee of 2.5% upon the gross retail sales of all alcoholic beverages (distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages) sold by the drink and/or by the package.
   (B)   A credit against the regulatory license fee amount payable shall be permitted in an amount equal to the total amount of license fees imposed and paid to the City for all licenses required permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink and/or by the package, excluding the City's Extended Hours License.
   (C)   Payment of the regulatory license fee shall be remitted to the City in a return form to be provided to the City and shall be held in a separate account maintained for the purposes consistent herewith. The regulatory license fee shall be payable on a quarterly basis and due 30 days after the quarter ends.

Should the City fail to address the regulatory license fee in any budget, then the regulatory license fee shall remain at the rate at which it was last fixed until such time as the City shall adjust the fee.
