Janesville Code of General Ordinances, it is fitting, proper, in the best interests
and of benefit to the public welfare and City to provide economic incentives for

provide substantial employment opportunities, have attracted and attract tourists,
have demonstrated that their individual investments in the establishments issued

community.

prior to adoption of JGO Section 5.06.055, who have actually already paid to the
City the additional initial $10,000 Reserve "Class B" Intoxicating Liquor License
application fee, and who do not qualify for an actual or potential economic
development rebate grant under JGO Section 5.06.055 at the date of the adoption
of this ordinance and (2) permit aforementioned licensees to apply for an
economic development grant as outlined in JGO section 5.06.055 (C) and (D).
Notwithstanding anything in any ordinance or other provision of law to the
contrary, no alcohol licensee in the City may ever receive more than $10,000 in
aggregate economic incentive rebate grants from the City under any alcohol
license economic incentive rebate grant ordinance.

if the property/premises for which the grant is sought, prior to the City's award
and/or payment of such grant, is restricted by the owner of the property/premises
