2. The application shall give the following information:
a. Full name, birthdate and Social Security number of each individual applicant;
b. Address, both legal and local;
c. Nature of business and kinds of goods to be sold, and if the applicant is a farmer or truck gardener, whether said goods are produced or personally-owned, cultivated and controlled;
d. If employed by another, the name and address of the applicant’s employer, together with a brief description of credentials showing the exact relationship;
e. Length of time for which the right to do business is desired;
f. Description and license number of any vehicle to be used; and
g. A statement as to whether or not the applicant has been convicted of a felony, the nature of the offense and the punishment or penalty assessed therefor.
3. Each individual applicant for a license shall provide written proof that the applicant will collect and remit state and local sales taxes to the city, if required by state law and municipal ordinance.
4. Each individual applicant for a license shall submit with the application a surety bond or cash in the amount of $1,000, executed by the applicant and by a surety company qualified to do business within the state. The bond shall run in favor of the city, but action may be taken on the bond by any citizen who has been damaged by the applicant. If more than one applicant shall be employed by the same employer, the employer may furnish the surety bond in lieu of the applicant, and the amount of such bond shall be the total number of employees multiplied by $1,000. The employer shall have the privilege of changing employees, but the number of employees shall never exceed the amount listed in the original bond filed. Any increase in the number of employees shall require either individual surety bonds for the additional employees, or an increase in the amount of the original surety bond in the amount of $1,000 for each additional employee. Any employer furnishing such a bond shall furnish to the City Clerk-Treasurer a current list of employees covered by the bond.
