All applications for a license under this chapter shall be accompanied by the fee <br />established in the city licensing fee schedule as it may be amended from time to time. <br /> <br />4.5 Procedure. Upon receipt of the application and payment of the license fee, the city <br />clerk will, within two (2) regular business days, determine if the application is complete. <br />An application will be considered complete if all required information is provided.

If the application is <br />complete, the city clerk must order any investigation, including background checks, <br />necessary to verify the information provided with the application. Within ten (10) regular <br />business days of receiving a complete application the city clerk must issue the license <br />unless grounds exist for denying the license application under Section 4, in which case the <br />clerk must deny the request for a city peddler or transient merchant license. If the city clerk <br />denies the license application, the applicant must be notified in writing of the decision, the <br />reason for denial and the applicant’s right to appeal the denial by requesting, within twenty <br />(20) days of receiving notice of rejection, a public hearing before the City Council. The <br />City Council shall hear the appeal with twenty (20) days of the date of the request for a <br />hearing. The decision of the City Council following the public hearing can be appealed by <br />petitioning the Minnesota Court of Appeals for a writ of certiorari. <br /> <br />4.6 Duration. An annual license granted under this ordinance shall be valid for one <br />calendar year from the date of issuance. All other licenses granted to peddlers and transient <br />merchants under this ordinance shall be valid only during the time period indicated on the <br />license.
