The city clerk will keep a document of all renewals together with the location of the place of business of each applicant, and the amount of license fees payable upon the renewal of such licenses, and whether or not any written complaint has been filed as to the manner in which any applicant for such renewal of a license has carried on the business authorized thereby.
B. All applications for renewals of licenses issued pursuant to this article shall be referred by the clerk to the mayor, as in the case of applications for original licenses, and procedure for renewal thereof shall be as in the case of the applications for original licenses.
C. Any licensee under this article may renew his or her license at the expiration thereof, provided he or she is then qualified to receive a license and the premises for which such renewal license is sought are suitable for such purpose; and provided further that the renewal privilege provided in this section shall not be construed as a vested right which shall in any case prevent the city council from decreasing the number of licenses to be issued within its jurisdiction.
