As soon as the application is submitted in proper form to the police department with
the requested information and accompanied by the correct investigation fee, an inspection
and investigation shall be conducted by the police and law department. If all requirements
of all departments concerned as well as those qualifications set forth in this article
are satisfied, the license shall be issued by the police department. If such application
is denied, the application shall be submitted to the license review board, which shall
conduct a hearing and report its conclusions and recommendations to the mayor. The
mayor, upon receiving the recommendation of the license review board, may, within
60 calendar days of receipt of said recommendation, deny or grant an application for
a new license. 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 or matter 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. All licenses
issued pursuant to this article shall be valid for a period of one year.
