The fees for a license or permit shall be $20 per calendar year.
All registrants for a license or permit under this chapter shall
file with the Town Clerk an application for said license or permit,
showing, under oath, his or her name, age, place of residence, and
if the applicant is a sole proprietor, employee, independent contractor,
agent or representative of any other person or other business entity,
along with such information as the Town Clerk, in his or her discretion,
may require. Any applicant refused a license by the Town Clerk may
appeal to the Town Board. Said complaint shall be heard by the Town
Board at its next regular meeting, provided that written notice is
given by the aggrieved applicant to the Town Clerk within five days
after the denial of said license or permit.
The Sardinia Town Board does, by this chapter, reserve to itself
the authority, in order to prevent unnecessary hardship or when, in
the judgment of the Board, the public interest of the Town will be
promoted thereby, to permit in whole or in part the reimbursement
of any fee for any license or permit issued under this chapter. In
such case, the Town Clerk shall render to the Town Board a statement
of the action taken, the extent to which the fee for the license or
permit is remitted or waived and that such license or permit may take
effect only after the Town Clerk has endorsed the same with the approval
of the Town Board.
