All vehicle licenses with a June 30, 2002 expiration date are hereby extended to June 30, 2003. From and after July 1, 2003, vehicle licenses shall have a two-year term. A two-year license fee for all vehicles shall be due and payable in advance of July 1 of each odd-numbered year and said license shall expire on June 30 two years later.
One-half of the license fee as above set forth shall be the license fee when the vehicle to be licensed was not used upon the streets of the Village nor was a previous unlicensed vehicle of the applicant so used during the first year of the two-year license period or any portion thereof. In no event shall the license fee be less than one-half of the two-year fee.
On and after July 1 of any license payment year, the license fees set forth above, or in 9-1-6 below, shall be doubled. Each said doubled license fee shall be paid before an applicant shall be entitled to a license, provided however that no doubling of the fee shall occur when the vehicle to be licensed was acquired by the applicant, or the applicant first became a resident of the Village, or the situs or base of said vehicle was established, within thirty (30) days preceding the date of the application, and provided that no other unlicensed vehicle was previously operated in this Village in that two-year license period by the applicant. The doubling of license fees shall not be construed as in lieu of any other penalties provided for herein.
