(A) Before a license is issued under this chapter to an individual who is a non-resident of the city, to more than one individual whether or not they are residents of the city, or to a corporation, partnership or association, the applicant or applicants shall appoint in writing a natural person who is a resident of the city as its manager or agent. This resident manager or agent shall, by the terms of his or her written consent:
(1) Take full responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises; and
(2) Serve as agent for service of notices and other processes relating to the license.
(B) This manager or agent shall be subject to an investigation and shall be a person who, by reason of age, character, reputation and other attributes, could qualify individually as a licensee. If the manager or agent ceases to be a resident of the city or ceases to act in that capacity for the licensee without appointment of a successor, the license issued pursuant to this appointment shall be subject to revocation or suspension.
