The City Clerk, upon review of the license application with the police department and any other appropriate department or agency, shall determine whether a license will be issued to the applicant. A waiting period of not less than three business days from the date of the application shall be in effect to provide sufficient time for the City Clerk’s fact gathering process to be completed in a reasonable period. In making his/her decision, the Clerk shall consider the following factors:
1. The information in the application is found to be correct;
2. All information required has been provided and the application is complete;
3. The required bond is paid;
4. Applicant does not have a transient merchant, solicitor, or peddler license under suspension or revocation under this chapter.
Upon the City Clerk deciding the factors have been satisfied by the applicant, a license shall be issued upon payment of the bond and the non-refundable fee in advance as set in the schedule of fees adopted by the City Council by resolution annually.
