Section 5.11: License Fees - Fixing and
Refundment
Subdivision 1. Fixing Fees
Except as otherwise specifically provided, all fees for licenses provided for in this
Chapter, including, but not by way of limitation, license fees, investigation and
administration fees, shall be fixed and determined by the Council, adopted by
resolution, and uniformly enforced. Such fees may, from time-to-time, be amended
by the Council by resolution. A copy of the resolution shall be kept on file in the
office of the City Clerk and open to inspection during regular business hours. For
the purpose of fixing such fees, the Council may categorize and classify, provided,
that such categorization and classification shall be included in the resolution
authorized by this Section. In the case of an application for an on sale liquor license
respecting premises wherein construction is not yet completed for the
establishment seeking to receive such license, the fee shall be the full annual fee as
set by the Council for the period from the date of the application until liquor sales
actually commence on the licensed premises. When sales commence, the full
annual fee shall become effective with appropriate prorations for any periods which
have elapsed prior to commencement of sales. In no event shall a reduced fee
apply with respect to any application of an establishment under construction for a
period of longer than twelve (12) months from the date of application. All
application fees are due in full before Council consideration will be given to same.
