§ 4-17. Fees.

(a)

Fees. All applications for licenses or permits required by this chapter shall be accompanied by payment of the fee that is required for the license or permit, the amount of which is set forth in the city's fee schedule. With the exception of temporary on-sale licenses and Sunday on-sale licenses, on-sale license fees may be paid in two (2) equal payments, one-half (½) of the fee is due at time of application and the remaining half is due by June 30 of each year. If the second payment is not made on time, the license will be automatically revoked and a fee will be charged to reissue the license when the fee is paid.

(b)

License fee reduction. The annual fee for an off-sale intoxicating liquor license shall be reduced by one hundred ($100.00) dollars if at the time of application and before any renewal, the licensee:

(1)

Agrees to have a private vendor approved by the city train all of its employees within sixty (60) days of hire and annually thereafter in laws pertaining to the sale of alcohol, the rules for identification checks, and the responsibilities of establishments serving intoxicating liquors;

(2)

Post a policy requiring identification checks for all persons appearing to be thirty (30) years old or less; and

(3)

Establishes a written cash award and incentive program to award employees who catch underage drinkers and a written penalty program to punish employees in the event of a failed compliance check.

(c)

License fee refunds. A refund of a pro rata share of an annual license fee may occur only if authorized by Minnesota Statutes Section 340A.408, subdivision 5.
