§ 5.08.090. License nontransferable.

A.

A license granted to any person to conduct a business under the provisions of this chapter on any premises within the city shall not be transferred to any other premises or to any other part of the building containing the licensed business without the consent of the city council.

B.

No license granted under the provisions of this chapter may be transferred by the licensee to any other person except as provided in Section 5.08.060. If the licensee ceases to operate the licensed business, or if the license is suspended or revoked, there shall be no refund of the license fees paid. If a receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors is appointed for the business, or if a receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or receiver of the property of an individual holding a license is appointed during the time for which a license was granted, or if a person holding a license becomes disabled or requires long-term health or medical care, or if a person holding a license dies during the term for which a license was granted, the receiver, assignee, attorney-in-fact, guardian or personal representative of the deceased's estate may continue to carry on the licensed business on the premises designated as the license for the balance of the term for which the license was issued, with the same rights and subject to the same restrictions and liabilities as if he had been the original licensee, providing that authorization to so continue the business is first obtained from the city council.
