Analysis
This ordinance makes the following changes to the city's tavern and liquor licensing procedures:
1. It defines the term "objection".
2. It reduces the amount of time that applications for Class "B" tavern extension of premises must be filed prior to the date of their being granted by the common council from the current 10 days to 3.
2. It specifies that, for new applications, only Class "A" and "B" retail, Class "B" manager's and Class "C" wholesale licenses need be referred to the utilities and licenses committee for its recommendation.
3. It creates a streamlined review procedure for those seeking renewals of Class "A" and "B" retail and Class "C" wholesale licenses under which all such applications are first referred to the chief of police, the commissioner of health and the commissioner of neighborhood services. If all 3 determine that the applicant continues to meet the licensing qualifications, the application shall be referred to the common council for approval without being first heard by the utilities and licenses committee, unless an objection to the license has been made to the city clerk. It also creates a similar process for the renewal of Class "B" manager's licenses and Class "D" operator's licenses, the only difference being that these applications are sent only to the chief of police for his or her review.
Body
