(A) The city may deny application for an event facility license if the applicant, in his or her business, organizational, or event operations, has incurred citations for violation of city code or state statutes, if the applicant has failed to provide the city with evidence of compliance with workers' compensation insurance coverage requirements as required by M.S. § 176.182, or if the applicant owes the state at least $500 in delinquent taxes, penalties or interest or has not filed tax returns pursuant to M.S. § 270C.72. An applicant must provide his or her social security number or individual taxpayer identification number and his or her Minnesota business identification number to the city on the license application form.
(B) Except for the positions set forth in Minnesota Statutes, as it may be amended from time to time, the City Clerk will not reject an applicant for a license on the basis of the applicant's prior conviction unless the crime is directly related to the license sought and the conviction is for a felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor with a jail sentence. If the City Clerk rejects the applicant's request on this basis, the city shall notify the applicant in writing of the following:
(1) The grounds and reasons for the denial;
(2) The applicant complaint and grievance procedure set forth in M.S. § 364.06, as it may be amended from time to time;
(3) The earliest date the applicant may reapply for the license; and
