GOOD MORAL CHARACTER
Honesty, fairness, and respect for the rights of others and for the laws of the State and nation. The following factors shall be considered when making a determination of whether an applicant or licensee under this Chapter has "good moral character":
1. 
The nature and character of the business for which the license is sought;
2. 
The manner in which the person has conducted his/her/its business; and
3. 
The manner in which the person has observed or violated the law.
If a person has been convicted of violating a crime of this State or Country, or of any crime of any other State or Country that would have been a crime under the laws of the State of Missouri, or an offense of this City, the City Clerk shall also weigh the following factors in determining if the person has "good moral character":
1.

5.
Whether the crime the person is convicted of is reasonably related to the competency of the person to exercise the licensed business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a conviction cannot be the sole grounds on which a person is determined to lack "good moral character." If a person is pardoned from a conviction, the underlying guilt for the crime or offense may still be evidence of such person's "good moral character."
