A. Applications must be submitted not less than thirty (30) days prior to the operation and/or the special event;
B. Upon receipt of the application, the city clerk shall forward the same to the police, fire, building and planning departments for their review, comment and such inspection as each deems appropriate;
C. Submission of an application is deemed to be authorization to the police department to conduct background checks upon the applicant and applicant's employees or business as well as permission for the fire department and building department to conduct such inspection and a review of the premises of the proposed locations as may be deemed advisable to assure compliance with this code and other codes adopted by the city or any other governing body;
D. Each department shall forward their recommendation on the license to the city clerk or the clerk's designee who shall review the application and the recommendations from the department heads to determine whether or not the license should be issued. If approved, the city clerk or the clerk's designee shall issue the license. If the application is rejected and the license denied by the city clerk or the clerk's designee, the applicant may, within twenty five (25) days of the denial, request a hearing before the city council to offer evidence why the application should be considered. A majority vote of the governing body is sufficient to issue or deny said applicant a license after said hearing. (Ord. 691, 2010)
