Upon receipt of the written report and recommendation by the Chief of Police, the information and data must be reviewed by the City Manager to determine that it is complete. The City Council must then be provided in writing a complete report regarding the application and the investigation. The City Council may request that the applicant(s) appear at a City Council Meeting to discuss informally the applications and all relevant data. Within 20 days thereafter, the Council must instruct the Clerk to cause to be published in the official newspaper ten days in advance a notice of a hearing to be held, setting forth the day, time and place when the hearing will be held, the name of the applicant, the premises where the business is to be conducted, the nature of the business, and such other information as the Council may direct. At the hearing, opportunities must be given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the license. After it has conducted the public hearing, the Council must grant or refuse the application at its discretion.
