§ 26-54. Appeal of denial.  


Latest version.
  • If the city secretary shall refuse to grant a license to any applicant under this division, the action of the city secretary shall be final unless the applicant shall, within ten days after refusal to grant such license, file a written appeal addressed to the city council, requesting a hearing by the city council upon the question as to whether or not his application shall be granted. If such appeal is filed, the chief of police shall provide the city council with a record of all proceedings with reference to the application, including the written application, together with the action of the city secretary and the reasons for such action. The city council shall within 30 days grant a hearing to determine the correctness of the action of the chief of police. At the hearing the city council may make such investigation as it may see fit, whether all the pertinent facts appear in the application or not, and it shall be discretionary with the city council as to whether or not a license shall be granted. Such action as the city council may take shall be final and conclusive.
