(A) Any person desiring to engage in the business of operating vehicles, carts, or push carts for the purpose of selling ice cream, ice cream products, or frozen ice treats shall, before commencing such operation, apply to the City Clerk for a license and shall pay to the City Clerk, at the time of making such application, fees as established by the City Council, for each such vehicle, cart, or push cart to be licensed. The application shall set forth the following information relative to any person who would be engaged in operating the vehicle, cart, or push cart in the city:
(1) Full name, address, date of birth, and driver’s license number;
(2) A full list of prior places of employment of the individual;
(3) A statement of whether the person had ever been convicted of a sexual conduct offense or whether the person has a pending sexual conduct offense; and
(4) A description of the vehicle, cart, or push cart which the individual would be responsible to operate.
(B) The City Clerk shall forward a copy of the license application to the City Police Department to determine whether the applicant or any other person who would be operating a vehicle, cart, or push cart is eligible to operate such a vehicle, cart, or push cart under this chapter. Upon completion of its investigation the City Police Department shall return the application to the City Clerk. If the City Police Department has approved the motor vehicle and has determined that the operators of the vehicle, cart, or push cart are eligible to so operate the conveyance under this chapter, then the City Clerk shall issue an appropriate license for each vehicle, cart, or push cart. Said license shall be displayed in a prominent place when the operator is engaged in the business of selling ice cream, ice cream products, or frozen ice treats.

(E) No license shall be issued to a person to whom a license was previously denied or who had a license revoked except by approval of the City Council.
(F) Any license issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked if it is determined that a person operating under said license has violated any of the ordinances of the city.
(G) Every applicant under this chapter must be at least 18 years of age.
