The authority for final approval of the application is delegated to the City Clerk, subject to appeal of the Clerk's decision to the City Council. The application shall be presented to the City Clerk and after consideration by the City Clerk shall be granted or refused. In the event that the license is granted, the Clerk shall issue to the applicant the license applied for. In the event that the application is denied, the money deposited by the applicant with the City Clerk shall be returned to the applicant. An applicant wishing to appeal the City Clerk's decision to deny a license, transfer, or renewal of a license to the City Council must submit the appeal in writing to the City Clerk within ten (10) business days of the denial. The appeal must set forth the factual basis on which the applicant asserts that the denial was in error.
