All licenses procured by this chapter, are granted by the Village President and shall be issued by the Village Clerk upon the Village President's direction. The Village Clerk shall make available blank applications for a new business to submit their information for review. Established businesses shall receive a type written application, or if requested a blank application, for their review and approval. Applications shall be mailed in ample time before the expiration of their current license. A fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00) shall be assessed for each new application received for processing.
If the Village President requires an investigation for a new business, the Village Clerk shall proceed to transmit the application to the proper department for review. If the report recommends the granting of the license, the Village Clerk shall notify the applicant. Upon compliance of the inspections, payment of the license fee, receipt of a Certificate of Liability, lease agreement and the surety bond if applicable, the Village President shall authorize the Village Clerk to issue a license bearing the Seal of the Village for a period for which payment is made. Businesses that are home based may not be required to obtain a Certificate of Liability. Home businesses that do not employ others or receive any foot traffic shall be waived.
