Section 1. That Title 3, Chapter 3 of the Yorkville City Code is hereby amended by
deleting Section 3-3-3, in the entirety and replacing it with the following:
"The Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall grant liquor licenses in accordance
with the provisions of the laws of the State of Illinois and provisions of this
chapter. Any person desiring a license under this chapter shall make application to
the Local Liquor Control Commissioner to be filed with the City Clerk who shall
provide a blank form for that purpose in such form as may be designated by the
Local Liquor Control Commissioner. The application shall be sworn to by the
applicant, if an individual, and by at least two (2) members of any partnership
applying for such license. Applications by corporations shall be subscribed and
sworn to by the president and attested by the secretary thereof. All nonrenewal
applications shall include a nonrefundable license application fee of three hundred
fifty dollars ($350.00) to cover application handling and the costs to conduct
background investigations of the applicants. All applications shall set forth such
facts as may be necessary to show that the applicant is entitled to a license under
the laws of the State and this chapter, including a description of the premises to be
used by the licensee under the license.
Each licensee shall make application for renewal of his or her license to the Liquor

licensing period. If a renewal applicant is not timely in his renewal application,
additional fees will be assessed. Any renewal applicant submitting an application

for renewal less than thirty (30) days but not less than seven (7) days prior to the
end of the licensing period will be assessed an additional fee of one hundred
dollars ($100.00). Any renewal applicant submitting an application for renewal
less than seven (7) days prior to the end of the licensing period will be assessed an
additional fee of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00). The annual license fee for
the license must accompany the renewal application. If the Liquor Control
Commissioner determines that the renewal application contains information that is
in any way changed from the original application for license, in which case a new
investigation of the license is necessary, a fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00)
shall be charged to the licensee to cover the costs of such investigation, in addition
to the yearly license fee.
If, after investigation, it is determined that the applicant is not entitled to a renewal
license, the yearly license fee shall be returned. The charge for the investigation is
nonrefundable.
A renewal license shall be issued provided the licensee is entitled to receive a
license and provided that the premises for which renewal license is sought are
suitable for such purposes; provided further that the renewal privilege herein
provided for shall not be construed as a vested right which shall in any case
prevent the Corporate Authorities from decreasing the number of licenses to be
issued within the City.
In the event that the City shall reduce the number of licenses below that number
issued in the prior year and the number of applicants do not decrease such as to be
equal to or less than the number of available licenses, the Liquor Control
Commissioner, in determining which licenses to renew such that the number of
licenses issued is equal to the number of available licenses, may consider the date
of application, years holding prior licenses, adequate service to areas in City,
record of violations or any other reasonable basis."
Section Z This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage, approval, and
publication as provided by law.
Passed by the City Council of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, this
23`d day of July, 2019.
