1. License History: The license history of the applicant; whether in previously conducting business in this or another locality, any license has been revoked or suspended, the reasons for any administrative action and the demeanor of the applicant subsequent to the action. The Deputy Licensing Officer shall also consider whether, when previously conducting business, the applicant engaged in false or misleading advertising, falsified any business records or participated in any unlawful business practice.
2. General Personal History: Each applicant shall have a satisfactory general personal history. The Deputy Licensing Officer shall investigate other facts relevant to the general personal history of the applicant as necessary to fairly determine the applicant's qualifications and ability to conduct the business in a lawful manner. Relevant facts may include, but not be limited to, the applicant's criminal history, knowing or wilful deception in any phase of the application or licensing process, fraud in obtaining any license or registration, addiction to alcohol, habit forming drugs or controlled substances or complaints received by the City Clerk's Office.
B. No Obligations To City: Each applicant shall not be indebted or obligated in any manner to the City.

It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly make any false statement or omit any pertinent information on any application for a license. In the event any person knowingly makes any false statement or omits any pertinent information on any application, that act or omission shall, in addition to all other remedies, be grounds for denial of the license or for suspension or revocation of any license issued upon the basis of the false statement. (Ord. 14-72)
All original and renewal license applications shall be accompanied by any applicable application fee and any applicable exam, background check, registration, or other fee as established by separate City Council Resolution. The City Clerk's Office shall not accept a license application unless accompanied by the required fees. The City Clerk's Office shall also charge fees for copies of licenses or identification cards and for a change of employer as applicable.
Application and related fees are charged to defray the expense of processing license applications and changes, and shall not be refunded to the applicant if the license is denied, the application or change is withdrawn, or for any other reason after the application or change is filed and the fee paid. Application and related fees are separate and distinct from license fees and may not be applied to or deducted from a required license fee. (Ord. 97-160; Ord. 01-42; Ord. 14-72; Ord. 18-113)
