A. Within 10 business days of application submittal, each applicant will be advised if further information is required. Within 10 additional business days, the applicant will be advised of business license status, in writing, by either receipt of the business license or a letter advising denial of the application. If an application is denied, the Administrative Services Director or designee shall further advise the applicant of the reasons for the denial and that the applicant may, without being required to file a new application, remedy any deficiencies within 30 calendar days from the date of denial notification.
B. A business license application may be denied for failing to provide required information or for failure to pay amounts owed to the city for penalties, interest, fees, charges, transaction privilege taxes, sewer connection fees, or any other amounts owed to the city for any other reason. Any person who has a current debt related to any open or closed account maintained or formerly maintained with the city shall be ineligible to receive any new or additional licenses until such debt has been resolved to the satisfaction of the city.
C. To contest a business license denial, the licensee shall request a hearing within 10 business days of the notice of denial. If timely requested, a hearing before the City Manager will be held for the purpose of showing cause why the license should not be denied. If no such hearing is requested, the denial of the business license shall be upheld.
