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 not been able to find it. The fee for every duplicate license issued, payable to the city clerk, shall be in such amounts as established by resolution of the city council. (1989 Code § 9-108; amd. 2002 Code)
