SECTION I. Section 5.06.050 D. of the Code of General Ordinances of the City of Janesville is
hereby amended to read as follows:
"5.06.050 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 $60:80 extension request fee as follows:
1st Extension Request $65.00
2nd Extension Request $130.00
3rd Extension Request $500.00
The fee shall be 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 90
consecutive days, the exact duration subject to the discretion of the Alcohol License Advisory
Committee. A total of three 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. The Alcohol License Advisory Committee may grant extensions beyond the total
of three if the Alcohol License Advisory Committee finds the precedent or subsequent conditions
cannot be met because of a natural disaster. In the event that: (a) an applicant fails to comply
with any provision of this chapter; or (b) an extension expires without the issuance of a 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.
