An application for a collector license shall be made on a form approved by the City Council and available from the office of the City Clerk. Any fraud, misrepresentation, or false statement on the application shall constitute a violation of this chapter and will be grounds for denial of the license application.
(B) Fee. Each application for a collector license under this chapter shall be accompanied by the fee established in the city licensing fee schedule ordinance as it may be amended from time to time by the City Council.
(C) Renewal and expiration. Each collector license issued by the city shall expire on December 31 of each year and may be renewable upon submission of a new application.

Applicants shall, in conjunction with the filing of an application, furnish the city with certificate of insurance by an insurance company authorized to do business in the state, establishing that the applicant carries and maintains the types and amounts of insurance described in divisions (1) through (4) below, and that the insurance policies comply with division (5) below.
(1) Commercial general liability insurance, with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence. If such insurance contains an annual aggregate limit, the annual aggregate limit shall be not less than $2,000,000.

A certificate must be on file with the city at all times while a licensee operates as a collector in the city.
(E) License transferability. Collector licenses may be transferable if the proposed transferee complies with the application and other requirements of this chapter.
(F) No vested right. No collector holding a collector license shall acquire a vested right of any kind in that license. The city may, if it determines it to be in the public interest, establish other means of refuse collection or decrease the number of collector licenses to be issued.
