(a) Opportunity shall be given by the governing body to any person to be heard for or against the granting of any license. Upon the approval of the applicant by the Village Board, the Village Administrator, Clerk, or highest elected official, as appropriate, shall issue to the applicant a license, upon payment by the applicant of the license fee to the village. The full license fee shall be charged for the whole or fraction of any year.
(b) If the Village Board denies the license, the applicant shall be notified in writing, by registered mail or personal service, of the reasons for the denial. The notice shall also inform the applicant of the opportunity to appear before the Village Board and to provide evidence as to why the denial should be reversed. In addition, the notice shall inform the applicant that the reconsideration of the application shall be held in closed session, pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 19.85(1)(b), unless the applicant requests such reconsideration be held in open session and the Village Board consents to the request. Such written notice shall be mailed or served upon the applicant at least ten days prior to the Village Board meeting at which the application is to be reconsidered.
