of Janesville is hereby amended to read as follows:
"A. No alcohol beverage license may be granted by the common council
unless the applicant has filed a written application on the required forms showing that the
applicant is ~ qualified to be licensed and that the premises may lawfully be used
for the purpose intended. No alcohol beverage license may be grafted issued unless the
applicant has paid the license fee."
SECTION Il. Sections 5.06.050 C., D. and E. of the Code of General Ordinances
of the City of Janesville are hereby created to read as follows:
"C. Each applicant who has been granted a license to sell alcohol by the
Common Council shall pay the applicable license fee(s) in full to the City clerk-treasurer
within fifteen (15) days of the date the license was granted. The date a granted alcohol
license "is to be issued" shall be deemed no later than the fifteenth calendar day after the
date the license is granted, not counting the date of the grant. Any failure to timely pay
the applicable alcohol license fee(s) in full voids the granted license and renders it of no
further force or effect, without the necessity of any further action, review or notice by the
Common Council. Any applicant whose granted license has been voided under the
provisions of this section may not rely upon any previously submitted application for the
same premises but shall reapply de novo and follow the procedure required for a new
license application.
"D. Each applicant who has been granted a license to sell alcohol by the
Common Council may request one or more extensions of time within which to satisfy all
conditions precedent and/or subsequent established by statute, ordinance, policy
statement, and/or special condition(s) imposed by the alcohol license advisory committee
and/or Common Council for issuance of the license. Each extension request shall be in
writing accompanied by a non-refundable $50.00 extension request fee payable to and
filed with the City clerk-treasurer. No extension request shall be considered or acted
upon without a filed written application, payment of the extension fee, and payment in
full of all alcohol fee(s). Granting an extension is completely discretionary, is a
privilege, is not a right and may be granted if good cause and reasonable necessity are
found by the alcohol license advisory committee, in which body the authority to review
and grant extensions shall be vested. An extension may be granted for a period of time
not to exceed ninety (90) consecutive days, the exact duration subject to the discretion of
the alcohol license advisory committee. Subsequent extensions may be requested and
granted if the applicant follows the procedure set forth herein and timely applies and pays
the fee for consideration no later than the 15th day of the month preceding the current
extension's expiration date. In the event that: (a) an applicant fails to comply with any
provision of this ordinance; or (b) an extension expires without the issuance ora granted
license or without a timely applied for and approved subsequent extension, such granted
license shall be void and rendered of no further force or effect, without the necessity of
any further action, review or notice by the Common Council. Any applicant whose
granted license has been voided under the provisions of this subsection may not rely upon
any previously submitted application for the same premises but shall reapply de novo and
follow the procedure required for a new license application.
"E. All fees paid hereunder are non-refundable.
