§ 12-58. Denial; appeal.

A copy of the application for permit will be referred to the police department who will undertake an investigation of the applicant's record and background, such as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the public. An application for permit under this chapter may be denied where:

(1)

Required application information is incomplete or incorrect;

(2)

Applicant or any individual involved in the peddling or solicitation campaign is currently wanted on a warrant for arrest, under indictment or has a pending class B misdemeanor or above;

(3)

The applicant is a person against whom a judgment, conviction or deferred adjudication has been entered within five years preceding the date of application, based upon fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;

(4)

The applicant or an employee of an applicant has been convicted of a felony;

(5)

The applicant provided no proof of authority to serve as agent for the principal;

(6)

The applicant has been denied a permit under this article within the immediate past year, unless the applicant can and does show to the satisfaction of the chief of police that the reason for such earlier denial no longer exists; or

(7)

A permit fee has not been paid.

Should an applicant be denied a permit, they may appeal that action to the city manager by submitting a letter within ten days of the denial or revocation. Upon receipt of the letter, the city manager will review the appeal and render a decision within seven days to reject the action complained of and order that the permit be granted or reinstated or uphold the denial or revocation. The decision of the city manager on the appeal shall be final and binding on all parties concerned.
