§ 3.05.070. Examination of application by city council.

If an application for a license is in proper form and accompanied by the license fee as provided for in Section 3.05.050 the city council shall examine the application. If the applicant is fully qualified pursuant to the criteria set forth in this chapter, the city council shall issue a license to the applicant within thirty days of the filing of the application. If the city council fails to issue the license based on the application within thirty days after it is filed, it shall be deemed granted. If the city council denies the application within thirty days of the filing of the application, the application is deemed finally denied and the same application may not be made within one year unless there are changed circumstances. If the council denies the application, the applicant may appeal the denial pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 60-2101(d) and amendments thereto. If the city council takes action to deny an application, and that action occurs over thirty days after it is filed, the denial shall be of no effect, except that this provision is not intended to limit the ability of the city council to revoke the license for any of the reasons in Section 3.05.160 of this Code. If the applicant is not present in person or by an attorney during the council session in which action is taken, written notice of the action shall be mailed to the applicant or attorney forthwith. All enforcement of the prohibitions in this chapter related to operating without a license shall be stayed during the greater of the expiration of the appeal period or pending decision on judicial review in the district court of the council's action. This stay shall apply to both initial and renewal licenses.
