Within thirty days of the filing of the application, the City Council shall issue, set conditions prerequisite to the issuance of, or deny, a license. The City Council may require that adequate security or insurance be provided before a license is issued. Where conditions are imposed as prerequisite to the issuance of a license, or where a license is denied, within five days of such action, notice thereof must be mailed to the applicant by certified mail, and, in the case of denial, the reasons therefor shall be stated in the notice.
