A regulatory license fee is hereby imposed on the gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages permitted pursuant to licenses issued under this chapter. This regulatory license fee, as initially established by this chapter, shall be for the effective date of June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010. Thereafter, the City Council shall annually adopt at the time in which each fiscal year budget is adopted, such percentage rate for the regulatory license fee hereby imposed as shall be reasonably estimated to ensure full reimbursement to the city for the estimated cost of any additional policing, regulatory or administrative expenses related to the sale of alcoholic beverages in the city. Such regulatory license fee shall be in addition to any other tax, fee or license permitted by law, but a credit against such regulatory license fee shall be allowed in an amount equal to the license fee imposed under this chapter and required to be paid at the time of license application or renewal, and such regulatory license fee shall be applied annually.
