Whenever any license to engage in, exercise, or pursue a business, profession, trade, occupation, or privilege has been lost or destroyed without any wrongful act or connivance by the holder, the city clerk, on application, shall issue a duplicate license for the unexpired time. Before the duplicate is issued, the holder shall make and file with the city clerk an affidavit that the license has not been transferred, that it has been lost or destroyed without any wrongful act or connivance by the holder, and that, if believed lost, he has made diligent search for it and has been unable to find it. The fee for every duplicate license issued, payable to the city clerk, shall be set by the city council. (2015 Code § 9-107)
Every holder of a license to engage in, exercise, or pursue a business, profession, trade, occupation, or privilege shall conspicuously display the license at all times in some part of his place of business or activity where a person who has entered the place may readily see it; or, if he has no particular place of business or activity, shall carry the license and shall display it to any person who requests to see it. In lieu of the manner of displaying such licenses provided herein, when licenses are required for coin operated music or amusement devices, vending machines, and similar devices and equipment, the license may be placed on or attached to such device or equipment in such position and manner that it will be clearly visible and shall be so placed or attached if the license so states on its face. It is unlawful to fail or refuse to display the license as required in this section. (2015 Code § 9-104)
