By November 15 of each year, after receiving a complete application for a police towing license, the Police Department will conduct an investigation to determine the truth and accuracy of the information contained in said application. Upon completion of the investigation, the applicant will be notified in writing that the application is either approved or disapproved and if disapproved the notification will state the reasons for such disapproval.
(A) Reasons for disapproval include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) The applicant has furnished false or misleading information or has failed to provide relevant information on the application.
(3) The location(s) where the applicant will conduct business fails to meet applicable zoning or fire codes or the requirements of § 125.11.
(4) The applicant or any of the owners/partners have been permanently removed from the police towing licensee list for cause pursuant to § 125.09.
(5) The applicant does not meet all of the requirements of this chapter or the towing license agreement.
(B) Any applicant deemed ineligible by the Chief of Police will have the right to appeal the Chief of Police's decision to the Village Comptroller, or designee. Appeals must be made by filing a written notice of appeal with the Village Comptroller within ten days of notice of the Chief of Police's decision. The Village Comptroller will hear the appeal within 14 days after the appeal is filed, unless otherwise agreed. The Village Comptroller will notify the applicant of the decision within seven days after the decision is made. The Village Comptroller may affirm or overrule the Chief of Police's decision. The Village comptroller's decision will be final.
(C) After the investigation and approval process has been completed, a final eligibility list by each class of license shall be created for use in issuing police towing licenses and these lists shall be retained by the Police Department and Village Clerk as the approved tow list for each calendar year.
