(a) Upon receipt of an application for a Waste Hauler License and payment of a nonrefundable application fee established by resolution of the City Council, the City Clerk shall forward the application to the City Manager who shall grant or deny the Waste Hauler License. If approved, the City Clerk shall issue the Water Hauler License upon payment of an annual fee established by resolution of the City Council. The City Manager may deny the issuance of a Waste-Hauler License for any of the following reasons:
(1) Failure of the applicant to comply with this Chapter or any other provision of the Reed City Code.
(2) Violations of this Chapter or any other provision of the Reed City Code.
(3) Prior criminal convictions, other than minor traffic offenses, or prior license revocation(s), when such criminal conviction or license revocation bears on the ability of the applicant to serve the public as a Waste Hauler in a fair, honest, safe, and lawful manner.
(4) Misrepresentation of any material fact in the application for the license.
(b) In the event that the Waste Hauler License is denied, the City Manager shall make written findings of fact in support of the denial based on the standards described above. The applicant may appeal such denial to the City Council by filing a written request for an appeal with the City Manager within five (5) business days following receipt of notification of denial. In the event of an appeal, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on said denial and shall have the power to reverse, affirm or modify the decision of the City Manager. The City Council shall, in its determination, make written findings of fact supporting its decision and said reasons shall be based upon the standards described above. The determination of the City Council shall be final.
