(A) Issuance. Permits issued pursuant to this subchapter shall be issued by the city or its designated representative upon a determination that all conditions precedent to the issuance or renewal of the permit have been met including the payment of the applicable fees and proof of insurance. The permit must be placed and visible on the rear left side of the vehicle.
(B) Appeal. A person aggrieved by the denial of a permit or the imposition of terms in connection with the granting of a permit may appeal the action to the City Council. To appeal a decision, the applicant must file a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk within five days of being informed of the decision to deny the issuance of a permit or the terms upon which the permit will be issued. The City Council will then review the decision to determine whether or not the action was correct. The City Council may, in connection with its review of the action either affirm, reserve or modify the actions. The applicant shall be advised by mail of the date and time that the Council will hear the applicants appeal.
(C) Term. Except as is otherwise specifically provided, each permit issued pursuant to the provision of this chapter shall expire on 12-31-2020.
(D) Transfer permit. No permit issued pursuant to this subchapter shall be transferable by the permittee to another person.
(E) Duplicate permits. The city or its designated representative shall issue a duplicate for any permit issued pursuant to this subchapter, upon the filing of an affidavit of the permit holder stating that the original permit was lost or destroyed and upon payment of a duplicate permit fee. Each duplicate permit shall be clearly marked as a duplicate. The duplicate permit fee shall be set from time by resolution of the City Council.
(F) Suspension and revocation. The Chief of Police may either suspend a permit up to 60 days or revoke any permit issued pursuant to this chapter, for good cause, including a finding that the permittee has failed to comply with any applicable statute, regulation or ordinance relating to the operation of the permit holder.
(G) Automatic revocation. No permit issued or renewed pursuant to this subchapter shall be deemed valid until all permit fees have been fully paid and any required insurance provided. Any permit issued or renewed upon payment by a check shall be deemed conditionally issued until the city has received final credit to its bank account in the full amount of the permit fees. In the event the check tendered by the permittee is dishonored or refused by any financial institution, the provisionally issued permit shall be deemed void as of the date of the check’s dishonor or refusal by a financial institution.
