[Ord. No. 2022-008, § 1, 2-14-2022]
A. Each person holding a valid license desiring such license renewed,
shall file with the Enforcement Agency an application for license
renewal on or before the first day of May and not later than the 30th
day of May each year. Failure to submit the completed renewal application
by May 1, will be subject to late charges approved by the Governing
Body and listed in the Schedule of Fees maintained in the Finance
Department.
B. Applications shall be accompanied by a license issued by the Supervisor
of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, a No Tax Due Letter issued by the
Missouri Department of Revenue within the last ninety (90) days, a
criminal record check from the Missouri State Highway Patrol completed
within the last six (6) months, proof of voter registration, and a
copy of the liquor license issued by Cass County, Missouri.
C. Proper Parties To File. The application shall be filed by the actual
owner, if a single ownership, or if a partnership, information on
all partners shall be included with the application, or if a corporation,
the person filing must be a stockholder in the corporation for such
filing.
D. Contents Of Application. The application shall disclose in affidavit
form any information the Enforcement Agency deems necessary.
E. If during the period for which a license is granted, there are any
change of facts or information differing from that set forth in the
original or in any renewal application on file, written notice shall
be given by the license holder within ten (10) days after the change
to the Enforcement Agency.
F. Refusal To Renew. If any affidavit contains information which does
not justify such renewal or if the Enforcement Agency has other information
that the applicant has not met all the other requirements of this
Chapter, the Enforcement Agency, in its discretion, may refuse to
renew such license. In the event of such refusal, the applicant shall
be given a hearing before the Enforcement Agency in the same manner
as provided for revocation or suspension proceedings, and such applicant
shall be entitled to take the matter to the City Council in the manner
provided in this Chapter.
G. If any licensee fails to file an application for license renewal
during the prescribed time, then such license shall be automatically
suspended until such application is filed.
No license shall be transferable or assignable except as provided
by 311.250 RSMo.
If one (1) or more members of a partnership having a license
for the sale of alcoholic beverages withdraws from the partnership,
the Enforcement Agency, upon application accompanied by a bill of
sale or affidavit of transfer, shall allow the remaining partner or
partners originally licensed, to continue the operation under the
original license for the remainder of the period for which the license
fee has been paid and it shall not be necessary for the remaining
partner or partners to secure a new license until the expiration of
the license.
