The renewal process in the Clerk s office began March 15 when letters were mailed to current license holders with a renewal application (AT-115), Auxilliary Questionaire (AT-103), instructions for filing with clerk and a list of applicable fees.

The list was assembled and brought to Council for referral to the ABLCC upon which a recommendation to the City Council is made at the 1 st meeting in June. However, a group of licenses were not returned to the City Clerk s office in a timely manner and have been included in a second group. The Licensees have paid a $100.00 late fee and a $50.00 Publication fee. The group is placed on the June 5, 2017 City Council meeting for referral to the ABLCC June 13 th meeting upon which a recommendation to the City Council will be made at the June 19 th City Council meeting.
