§ 3.34.070. Refunds.  


Latest version.
  • Any operator, licensee, his or her executor, administrator, or any person duly appointed by the court to take charge of and administer the property or assets of such licensee for the benefit of his or her creditors may voluntarily surrender any license issued under this chapter to the city council, and when so surrendered, the city council shall refund to the person so surrendering the license a proportionate amount of the license fee paid for such license, as follows: if surrendered during the first three months of the period when the license was issued, the refund shall be three-fourths of the amount of the license fee; if surrendered more than three months but not more than six months after issuance, the refund shall be one-half of the amount of the license fee; if surrendered more than six months but not more than nine months after issuance the refund shall be one-fourth of the amount of the license fee. No refunds shall be made, however, for any license surrendered more than nine months after issuance. No refunds shall be made to any licensee upon the surrender of his or her license if there is at the time of the surrender a criminal charge pending against him or her or her in any court for the violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. If, however, upon hearing on such charge, the licensee is found and adjudged to be not guilty of the violation, he or she shall be eligible for a refund on the license, as above set forth.
