Before any license, as provided in this chapter, shall be issued for engaging in business as an itinerant merchant in the city, the applicant shall file with the city manager an instrument nominating and appointing the city manager or person performing the duties of such position, his true and lawful agent with full power and authority to acknowledge service or notice of process for and on behalf of the applicant in respect to any matters connected with or arising out of the business transacted under the license and the bond given as required by Section 5.56.050 or for the performance of the conditions of the bond or for any breach thereof. Such instrument shall also contain recitals to the effect that the applicant for the license consents and agrees that service of any notice or process may be made upon such agent and when so made shall be taken and held to be as valid as if personally served upon the person applying for the license under this chapter, according to the law of this or any other state, and waiving all claim or right of error by reason of such acknowledgment of service or manner of service. Immediately upon service of process upon the city manager, as provided in this chapter, the city manager shall send to the licensee at his last known address, by registered mail, a copy of such process.
