(5) Length of time for which the right to do business is desired;

(D) (1) Each individual applicant for a license or permit shall submit with his or her application a surety bond in the amount of $1,000 executed by the applicant and by a surety company qualified to do business within the state. The bond shall run in favor of the city, but action may be taken on the bond by any citizen who has been damaged by the applicant. If more than one applicant shall be employed by the same employer, the employer may furnish the surety bond in lieu of the applicant, and the amount of the bond shall be the total number of employees multiplied by $1,000. The employer shall have the privilege of changing employees, but the number of employees shall never exceed the amount listed in the original bond filed.

Any employer furnishing a bond shall furnish to the City Clerk a current list of employees covered by the bond.
