6. Length of time the applicant intends to be doing business under this permit.
C. At the first regular meeting in January of every year, the Board of Trustees shall adopt a fee schedule to reflect the cost for permits on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis as may apply.

The transient sales permit shall contain the permit number, the name of the applicant and his or her representatives, business name, description of the type of goods to be sold or business activity, location where sales will take place and/or method of sales, any special conditions, date of issuance and expiration, and the town clerk's signature.
E. The town clerk may deny an application for, or suspend or revoke a transient sales permit based on the criminal record, misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, or impropriety of the applicant or his or her representatives or other grounds that such transient business would not be in the best interest of the town or its citizens. The town clerk shall give the applicant or permit holder prompt written notice and an opportunity for an appeal hearing before the board. If the applicant or permit holder requests an appeal hearing, the town clerk shall provide written notice of the time and place of the hearing. Such notice shall be mailed postage prepaid by regular United States mail at least five (5) days prior to the date set for hearing. (Ord. 274, 12-8-2009; amd. Ord. 319, 8-11-2020)
