The holder of an annual license granted under this article shall submit an application for renewal at least 60 days before the expiration of the license; failure to comply with this application schedule shall mean that the license shall lapse and any new application shall be reviewed as a new application. Such license may be renewed pursuant to the provisions of §
196-6 as that section applies to notice being given by the City Clerk-Treasurer and provisions for publication and action by the Common Council.
Any license holder governed by this article shall comply with

physical contact with any patron or solicit drinks from any patron
in violation of § 944.36, Wis. Stats.
C. While dancing is in progress, the establishment shall be adequately
illuminated so as to permit safe ingress and egress from the premises.

to authorize the licensee to exceed maximum occupancy limits established
in conformance with building codes.

staff shall be charged with preventing violations of law and enforcing
compliance by patrons with the requirements of these regulations.
Security staff shall be uniformed in such a manner so as to be readily
identifiable as a security person by the public or shall wear shirts,

employees of the adult business.
(2) Failure
to comply with every such requirement shall be grounds for suspension
or revocation of the license issued pursuant to these regulations.

If such forfeiture and costs are not paid, such person so convicted shall be subject to any civil penalties or other penalties available by law.
