[Adopted 6-21-1994 by Ord. No. 94-8]
As a condition of obtaining, renewing, or keeping a license,
all local taxes, assessments, special charges, or other fees, including
but not limited to municipal forfeitures, shall be paid on a current
basis. Any fees unpaid within a time limit set by the Town or a court,
as the case may be, place the licensee in a state of delinquency and
subject to disciplinary action by the Town Board, including reprimand,
suspension for a set time period (up to 90 days), or revocation. No
renewed license shall be issued until amounts owed are paid.
Any license revoked shall not be reinstated within the 12 months
following date of revocation. There shall be no refund of any license
fee paid to a party whose license is revoked and no portion is refunded
for suspension.
Upon complaint by any person, or at Board direction, and following Board
review and approval, written notice shall be given to the licensee
of the complaint basis, and the date and time the Board will hear
the matter. For non-alcohol licenses where no statutory procedure
is set, service may be first-class mail to licensee's last known address,
or personal service, at the chairperson's option. For alcohol licenses,
present § 125.12, Wis. Stats., or its successor, will be
followed. At present, that statute requires personal service of the
hearing notice (summons) and complaint, and a hearing within three
to 10 days thereafter. A record of service will be kept by the Clerk.
A licensee may ask for renewal issuance review, and the Clerk shall
notify the licensee of such right.
Evidence and testimony at the hearing shall be done in open
session. Pursuant to § 19.85(1)(a), Wis. Stats., the Board
may go into closed session to deliberate with regard to its decision,
where this has been listed on the hearing notice. The Clerk shall
see that the hearing notice is posted or published, in format acceptable
to the chairperson or his designated representative.
In lieu of a hearing, the Board may accept license surrender,
and then determine the time period before another application for
the same type of license will be accepted from the former licensee
for review. In the event that complaint allegations(s) are proved
at hearing, the Town Board shall decide which penalty for violation
is appropriate. Multiple offenses may be considered at any hearing
involving the same licensee.
In the event any portion of this article is or becomes invalid
or illegal, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and
effect.
This article shall take effect following passage, and posting
in three public places by the Clerk, or Deputy Clerk.
[Adopted 2-12-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-6]
This article sets a fee structure for all non-alcohol-related licenses in the Town. The license
fees themselves are set by the Town Board in separate fee schedule(s).
Those fees may be revised from time to time.
The regular license fee shall be according to the schedule set
by the Town Board.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
In the event the scheduled license fee and application are not
submitted at least 30 days prior to their expiration date, or if a
special meeting of the Town Board is required or requested by the
applicant to review the application, an additional late fee will be
charged. The late fee may be set from time to time by resolution of
the Town Board. However, the Board, acting within its discretion,
can lower or eliminate the additional fee if there is a reason beyond
the applicant's control for submitting the application late. Every
renewing applicant shall be deemed to have knowledge of the expiration
of the current license and not receiving a renewal in the mail will
not provide a basis for requesting waiver or lowering of the late
fees.
