Until April 11, 1998, License No. 1 shall pay to the City the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per year and, in addition, shall pay the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per year for each card table which is licensed or authorized under this Chapter. Such payment was made quarterly, in equal installments on or before the first day of each January, April, July and October for each and every calendar year. In the event that License No. 1 is revoked or terminates in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, the Licensee shall not be entitled to any refund of said sums paid. From and after July 1, 1998, License No. 1 shall pay to the City a monthly fee in accordance with the provisions of Subsection B. below. [Amended by Ord. No. 347, § .1, adopted 4/14/98.]
