(A) Retail liquor licenses issued under this code shall be valid for 12-month periods upon the payment of the license fee as hereinbefore set forth, unless sooner revoked or suspended. The 12-month period shall be from July 1 of each year to June 30 of the following year.
(B) The annual license fee for each 12-month period shall be payable in advance by the applicant for a license at the time the application for a license is submitted to the local Liquor Control Commissioner as hereinbefore provided. The fee to be paid shall be reduced in proportion to the full calendar months which have expired in the year prior to the issuance of the license. In the event the license is denied, the license fee shall be returned to the applicant. The fees shall be deposited to the Municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit the fees in the Municipal General Fund. The application for a license shall be filed with the Municipal Clerk. The fees, at the discretion of the local Liquor Control Commissioner, may be paid in quarterly installments.
(C) Licenses shall state thereon the names of the licensees and the address and description of the premises for which they are granted and the dates of their issuance and expiration.
(D) With respect to a corporation operating an establishment for which a liquor license has been issued, should the manager of said establishment change after the issuance of said liquor license, the corporation must submit the new manager's name and shall be submitted within 30 days. Continuation of the license will be contingent upon a background check of the new manager as set out in this chapter, and all fees shall be waived should the license be changed only as a result of a change of managers. If for some reason the manager is not acceptable, the licensee shall have 30 days to submit a new name before revocation. Failure to provide new information shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of said license.
