Waiting List Procedure for “Class B” License
- An applicant must pay $1,000.00 fee towards a “Class B” License to be placed on the waiting list. Applicants will be placed on the waiting list in order of fee submission and other required materials. An original alcohol beverage license application (AT-106) is required with the fee.
- The first applicant on the list will be considered for the first available regular “Class B” license, when one becomes available.
- When the first license becomes available, the necessary fees from the $1,000.00 paid by the first applicant will be used to begin the application process for the regular license. If the application is approved by the Common Council, the license will be awarded. Any funds remaining after application will be deposited in the City Treasury.
This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.
If the license is withdrawn or denied, a refund should be issued of any portion of that money that has not been earned (processing fee, background check fees, publication fee if any, etc).
