Pursuant to the authority of KRS 243.070, the city hereby imposes license fees for the privilege of manufacturing and trafficking in alcoholic beverages; and nobody shall conspire, cause, permit promote, allow, aid, assist, encourage or engage in any of the actions, business and transactions authorized by any of the state alcoholic beverage licenses identified in KRS 243.070 in the city without a corresponding city license for those same actions, business and transactions. The annual fees for the city licenses authorized by KRS 243.070 shall be the maximum fee specified in that statute; and the expiration dates of the city licenses shall be the same as the state licenses to which they conform. The amount of each annual fee for a city license shall be reduced on a monthly pro rata basis, so that such annual license fee is reduced by one-twelfth thereof for each complete calendar month of the license year that has passed prior to the issuance of that city license: provided, however, that no such pro-rata license fee reduction shall ever exceed 50% of the annual license fee.
