(A) Any person required to obtain a license under and by virtue of this chapter, unless otherwise specified, shall make application to the City Council, in writing, by filing the same with the City Finance Officer and tendering, with said application, the amount specified for such license; upon receipt of the application and license fee, the City Finance Officer shall give the applicant a receipt for the license fee and shall place the application before the City Council at its next regular or special meeting.
(B) If such application is granted by the City Council, a record thereof shall be made in its minutes, and thereafter, the City Finance Officer shall issue the license applied for; however, the City Council shall use discretion in the granting of licenses and may refuse to do so, in which case the license fee received by the City Finance Officer shall be returned to the applicant upon his or her return of the receipt issued therefor, and the fact that an applicant may have the City Finance Officer’s receipt for the license fee shall not be sufficient to authorize him or her to operate until a license is granted and delivered to him or her.
