A. Application Renewal And Review: Each license shall be renewed only by making a renewal application as provided by the city clerk. The city clerk and chief of police shall review the renewal application and shall grant or deny the renewal license application on the same basis as set forth in section 3-7-5 of this chapter. Applications for renewal shall be made at least thirty (30) days before the expiration date. If the city clerk or chief of police determines good and sufficient cause is shown by the applicant for failure to file a timely renewal application, the city clerk may, if other provisions of this chapter are complied with, grant the application.
B. Denial Of Renewal: When the city clerk or chief of police denies renewal of a license, the applicant shall not be issued a license for one year from the date of denial. If, subsequent to denial, the city clerk finds that the basis for denial of the renewal license has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a license if at least ninety (90) days have elapsed since the date denial became final.
C. Penalty: If any license provided for by this chapter shall remain unpaid for more than fifteen (15) days after the same is due, a penalty of twenty five percent (25%) shall be added to the license fee and collected by an officer or employee of the city clerk's office. (Ord. 181, 11-12-1997)
