A. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Village Manager in regard to the denial of an application for a business license, as provided in this chapter, shall have the right to appeal to the Village President. Such appeal shall be taken by filing with the Village Clerk within five (5) days after notice of a denial of an application, a written statement under oath setting forth specifically the grounds for appeal. The Village President shall thereupon set the time and place for a hearing on such appeal, and notice of such hearing shall be given to the applicant or licensee or permittee in the same manner as provided in section 3-1-17 of this chapter. The decision of the Village President on such appeal shall be final.
B. The acceptance of the license, upon reversal by the Village President, shall constitute a waiver of all claims against the Village, the Village Manager, or any other officer or employee, arising out of the original refusal to issue the license. The burden shall be upon the applicant to show wherein the Village Manager has failed to meet the standards set forth in this section. (Ord. 2018-25, 11-12-2018)
