When proper application has been made, when any required certification has been filed, when any required bond has been posted and when the City Licensing Officer has made any required investigation, and the appropriate fees, if any, are paid, the City Licensing Officer shall issue to the applicant a license or permit certificate, and shall preserve a record thereof in his files. The City Licensing Officer shall then so endorse in the place provided for such stamp, and the certificate shall then be valid; provided, however, that no such license or permit certificate shall be issued to any applicant who owes a delinquent financial debt to the City resulting from the nonpayment of any tax, fee, lien, service charge or other assessment. In the event such an applicant has entered into payment arrangements acceptable to the City to pay such prior, delinquent, financial debt, a license shall be issued contingent upon compliance with such payment arrangements.
