In addition to any other license or permit fee established in this Code,
applicants shall be responsible for the payment of all direct charges incurred
by the City as a result of the processing of such license or permit application,
payment of which shall be required prior to the issuance of the license or
permit.
A.
No City license shall be granted to any licensee who
is delinquent in payment of taxes, assessments or other fees owed to the City
or to any premises for which taxes, assessments or other fees are owed to

afford the applicant written notice of the amounts owed, a fifteen-day minimum
period to settle all such delinquent accounts and an opportunity to present
his rebuttal of the charges to the Regulatory Committee. If a renewal license
is withheld on such grounds, the City shall notify the licensee in writing
of the City's intention not to renew the license and provide the licensee
with an opportunity for a hearing before the Common Council. The notice shall
state the reasons for the intended action.[1]
B.
For nonrenewal of alcohol beverage licenses, such hearing
shall be conducted in accordance with § 125.12(2)(b), Wis. Stats.,
or any amendments thereto. Judicial review shall be as provided in § 125.12(2)(d),
Wis. Stats., or any amendments thereto.
