Include a restaurant and a convention facility, which
convention facility shall seat no less than 100 persons; and
(3)

The fee for each resort liquor license shall
be set forth in the annual budget resolution but shall not be less
than $500 nor more than $3,000, payable in advance. If a license for
an additional dispensing room is approved, the fee shall be equal
to 2/3 of the cost of the original license, for a limit of one additional
dispensing room; except that the limit of one additional dispensing
room shall not apply in the case of a business operation with convention
facilities, as determined by the City Council. If a license is issued
at any time other than October 15, the fee shall be prorated on a
1/12 basis.
The general control and regulatory provisions
of this chapter shall apply to resort liquor licenses, except as otherwise
provided.
