   (A)   An application for any license required by this subchapter or the renewal of an existing license shall be made on forms provided by the City Manager or designee.

Renewal applications shall be submitted at least 60 days but not more than 150 days before expiration of the license. If, in the judgment of the City Council as to off-sale and on-sale licenses, good and sufficient cause for the applicant’s failure to apply for a renewal within the time provided is shown, the City Council, may, if the other provisions of this subchapter are complied with, grant the license.

This requirement shall be established by an affidavit of the licensee on a form provided by the City Manager or designee. The affidavit shall be given with each application for issuance or renewal on a wine license or an on-sale intoxicating liquor license, or at other times as the City Manager or designee may request. If the application is for the renewal of a wine license or an on-sale intoxicating liquor license, the affidavit shall also include the actual percentage of gross receipts attributable to the sale of food during the immediately preceding 12-month period. The City Manager or designee shall require that any such affidavit be verified and confirmed, on a form provided by the City Manager or designee, by a certified public accountant.
