§ 4-220. Fees.

(a)

License fees for each category of license specified in section 4-219 shall be in an amount as established from time to time by city council resolution and shown in the city's fee schedule.

(b)

In case of the revocation or surrender of the license before expiration of the calendar-year period, the holder shall not be entitled to receive any refund of any fees or taxes whatsoever.

(c)

Licenses granted in the second half of the licensing year will be reduced by one-half. No other proration will be allowed.

(d)

An applicant for a license shall tender with the application a certified check, cashier's check or money order in the full amount of the license fee, but the city shall not negotiate such check or money order until the license is approved by the city council. The city shall not be obligated to issue such license until the city has received payment of such fee in full by one of the permitted methods. The city shall not be obligated under any circumstances to accept late payment of any such fee.

(e)

Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (d) of this section, however, concerning payment of license fees in full in advance, the city council shall be authorized to provide from time to time by city council resolution for the payment of annual fees in installments, in such amounts and at such times as the city council may determine from time to time. Any such city council resolution shall provide specific dates when each such installment shall be due. If installment payments are authorized, each such payment shall be made by cash, certified check, cashier's check or money order, and the city shall not be obligated to issue such license until the city has received the first such installment. A licensee's failure to pay any installment in a timely manner shall be sufficient grounds for the suspension or revocation of such license. The city shall not be obligated under any circumstances to accept late payment of any such fee.
