(a) Upon receipt of a complete application for a permit under this chapter, the finance director may cause an investigation of the applicant and application to be made. The application shall be approved or denied within fourteen days of receipt.
(b) If, as a result of such investigation, the finance director determines that any false or material misrepresentation has been made, or that the applicant does not satisfy the requirements of this chapter, the applicant shall be provided written notice that the application is disapproved and that no permit will be issued.
(c) If, as a result of such investigation, the applicant is found to satisfy the requirements of this chapter, the finance director shall approve the application and issue a permit and an identification card for each solicitor. Such card shall contain the signature of the issuing officer, and shall show the name and business or residential address of the permittee, the kind of goods or services permitted to be sold thereunder, the date of issuance and the term of the permit, as well as a description of any vehicle to be used by a permitted solicitor. Each card shall also clearly state that issuance of such permit and identification card does not constitute an official endorsement by the city of the permittee or of anything sought to be sold by the solicitor. No permittee shall sell or attempt to sell goods or services of a different nature than described in the permit. Each permittee shall provide written notice to the finance director of any changes occurring with respect to information set forth in an application made pursuant to this chapter, within five business days thereof.
(d) The finance director shall keep a written record of all permits issued for such time as required by law.
