(A) (1) The Chief of Police will investigate all facts set out in the application within 30 days after the City Administrator receives that application.
(2) If after such investigation, it appears that the applicant and the place proposed for the business are eligible for a license, then the City Council will consider the application. The City Council will grant or deny the application no later than 30 days after the investigation by the Police Chief is completed. If the City Council fails to act on the application within this time period, the application is automatically approved.
(B) Each license is issued to the applicant only and is not transferable to another holder. Each license is issued only for the premises described in the application. No license may be transferred to another premises without the approval of the City Council. If the licensee is a partnership or corporation, a change in the identity of any of the principals of the partnership or corporation will be deemed a transfer of the license.
