(9) In the case of an application for a wine license or on-sale intoxicating liquor license, the applicant shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City Manager or designee as to compliance with the requirements of § 116.12 as to the percentage of food sold on the licensed premises. 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. Failure or refusal of a licensee to give the affidavit with the application, or on request of the City Manager or designee, or any false statement in any such affidavit, shall be grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation of all licenses held by the licensee;
(10) In the case of an application for a temporary on-sale 3.2% malt liquor license or temporary wine license, the applicant shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City Manager or designee that the applicant complies with the requirements of § 116.08 as to being a qualified corporation or organization; and
