When the application is not for renewal, but for a new license, and the business was not in operation before the effective date of this chapter, the Village Clerk shall refer the application to the Village President, who shall make inquiry into whether the applicant or the manager of the establishment, or any employees of the establishment, have ever been convicted of a felony or theft under the laws of the state or other jurisdiction. If no such convictions are disclosed in the Village President's investigation, he shall issue the license within one month after it was submitted to the Village Clerk.
