[Adopted 4-18-1978 by Ord. No. 15-4-78; amended in its entirety 1-4-2000 by Ord. No. 2-1-2000]
[1]
Editor's Note: Pursuant to Ord. No. 5-2-97, adopted 3-4-1997, former Art. V, Standards, Procedures and Conditions of Liquor License Awards, was renumbered as Art. IV, and former § 45-11, Auction method, was renumbered as § 45-9.
A. 
When the Township Council shall decide, in its discretion, to award an available license, it shall sell the license at auction in accordance with the provisions of Title 33 of the New Jersey Statues and the regulations of the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
B. 
The Council may set a minimum bid amount and shall reserve the right to reject all bids.
C. 
All bidders shall prequalify, in the manner specified by the Council. In addition to whatever requirements the Council shall impose, the prospective bidders, as part of the prequalification process, shall submit proof of financial ability to undertake the purchase of the license and the contemplated project; information regarding the type, size and special features of the contemplated licensed premises; and records of past alcoholic beverage control violations involving the prospective bidder or the bidder's principals, i.e., owners of more than a ten-percent equity or debt interest. Furthermore, prospective bidders are required to fulfill any and all requirements of the Evesham Township Police Department and shall supply any and all information requested by the Evesham Township Police Department as part of the Township's prequalification process. Failure to do so may, at the discretion of the Township, result in a prospective bidder being found unqualified to bid.
D. 
The notice of sale issued pursuant to § 45-9A shall specify the time and place at which bids shall be received and opened and that all prospective bidders shall be notified of qualification five days prior to the bid opening.
E. 
The notice shall further specify the time, place and manner in which the prequalification and bid applications may be obtained and the date on which they are to be submitted.
F. 
In the event that Title 33 is modified or amended in such a way as to impact these provisions, the state statute and administrative regulations shall control where inconsistent with local ordinance.
