No license provided for in this chapter shall be issued by the City Clerk or his or her authorized representative until the Chief of Police has made a complete search of the criminal record, if any, and as allowed by law of the licensee and has filed with the City Clerk in writing, the findings of such search, accompanied by his or her written approval or disapproval of the application of the licensee, based upon the findings of such search. No such license shall be issued if, in the opinion of the Chief, the applicant for such license is not a fit person to conduct business in the City. If such application is not approved by the Chief, the application shall be denied and the reasons shall be submitted in writing to the City Clerk by the Chief.
