(C) Application forms for permits shall, upon request, be supplied by the City Clerk.
(D) All applications for this multiple-animal permit shall be filed with the City Clerk who shall, in conformity with the requirements of law, place it on the agenda for the next available City Council meeting. The City Council shall grant or deny the request for the permit.
