The Chief of Police, upon review of the permit application with the police department and any other appropriate department or agency, shall determine whether a permit will be issued to the applicant. A waiting period of not less than three (3) business days from the date of the application shall be in effect to provide sufficient time for the fact-gathering process to be completed in a reasonable period. In making his/her decision, the following factors shall be considered:
1. The information in the application is found to be correct.
2. All information required has been provided and the application is complete.
3. The required bond is paid.
4. Prior peddler, solicitor, panhandler, or transient merchant permits issued to applicant and whether any such permits were suspended or revoked.
If the determination is made that the application satisfies the above factors and the applicant is not a risk to public safety, a permit shall be issued upon payment of the bond and any other fees set forth in the schedule of fees adopted by the City Council by resolution. A denial of a permit may be appealed in the same manner and under the same procedures stated at Section 122.14 of this chapter.
