§ 30-613. Application.

(a)

Every person desiring to obtain a permit required under this division shall make written application to the mayor or the mayor's designee upon forms to be prepared and approved by the mayor or the mayor's designee. Such application shall state the name and address of the applicant; the area of the city where the proposed door to door sales are to be conducted; the nature and character of the door to door sales to be carried on; if a partnership, the names of the partners; if a corporation, the names of the officers; and such other information as may be required by the mayor and shall be sworn to by the applicant or agent thereof. However, if a business employs or otherwise engages 30 or more persons to solicit sales on behalf of the business, the business is authorized to make application on behalf of such persons, and any person is thereby relieved of the responsibility to apply for a permit on an individual basis.

(b)

Every applicant shall furnish all data, information and records requested by the mayor or the mayor's designee, and the failure to furnish such data, information and records within 30 days from the date of such request shall be cause for the denial of the application. Every applicant, by filing an application, agrees to produce for oral interrogation any person requested by the mayor or the mayor's designee or the city attorney and considered as being important in the ascertainment of the facts relative to such permit. The failure to produce such person within 30 days after being requested to do so shall be cause for the denial of the application.

(c)

Each application for a permit made pursuant to this division shall be investigated by the mayor or the mayor's designee who shall make a determination with regard to the issuance of the permit within ten days of the application. If such application shall be denied, it shall be brought before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the license review board immediately following the denial. The license review board shall investigate the denial and after a public hearing, make its recommendation to the mayor for final action.

(d)

The mayor, upon receiving the recommendation of the license review board, may, within 60 calendar days of receipt of said recommendation, deny or grant the application for a new permit. In addition, within said 60-day period, if the mayor determines there is a need to correct a clear error or prevent a manifest injustice, the mayor may remand the application back to the license review board for further hearing. If the mayor fails to take action within the 60-day period, the recommendation of the license review board shall become the final decision of the mayor.
