Pursuant to § 61.34, Wis. Stats., the Village Board
of the Village of Sherwood for its commercial benefit and for the
health, safety, welfare and convenience of the public hereby requires
that all applicants for the issuance of, or renewal of, any municipal
license, including alcohol beverage licenses, pay in full all outstanding,
past due local taxes, assessments, forfeitures or fees as a condition
of the issuance or renewal of said license.
Upon receiving a license application, the Village Clerk-Treasurer
shall determine if the applicant has any outstanding, past due local
taxes, assessments, forfeitures or fees. If the Clerk-Treasurer determines
that the applicant has such outstanding, past due obligations, then
the applicant will be notified in writing of said outstanding obligations
and that issuance or renewal of the license applied for is conditioned
upon payment in full of the obligations.
The applicant shall then either pay the obligations or present
evidence to the Village which the applicant believes rebuts the outstanding,
past due nature of the obligations. If the Village Board or the Village
committee given charge of reviewing applications for the license in
question determines that there are in fact outstanding, past due obligations,
then it shall deny the issuance of the license. In renewal situations,
the applicant shall be provided with an opportunity for a hearing,
to be conducted in compliance with applicable statutory and/or constitutional
due process safeguards.
