Upon the receipt of an application for a business license, the clerk shall require
an investigation of the applicant, to protect the public health, safety and welfare,
and refer the application to the appropriate investigating officer. The investigating
officer shall make a report on the application, favorable or unfavorable, within ten
(10) days of receiving the application. If, as a result of the investigation, the
city clerk determines that the issuance of a business license is not in the interest
of the health, safety and general welfare of the public, the application shall be
referred to the city commission for hearing and issuance or denial of a license. Before
the hearing, the applicant shall be given notice and at the hearing shall have an
opportunity to be heard before the city commission. The city commission may also hear
any other evidence presented on the matter. If, upon hearing, a majority of the city
commission present at the hearing determine that issuance of the license is not in
the best interest of the public health, safety or welfare, the license may be refused.
