[Adopted 6-11-2019 by Ord. No. 9195]
No person, either as principal or agent, shall, in the City,
conduct, pursue, carry on or operate any calling, trade, profession
or occupation unless he has a current license so to do issued in accordance
with this article.
A separate license must be obtained for each branch or separate
place of business in which the trade, calling, profession or occupation
is carried on, and each license shall authorize the party obtaining
it to carry on, pursue or conduct only that trade, calling, profession
or occupation described in such license, except as may be otherwise
specifically provided.
No free licenses shall be granted, nor rebates allowed, for
any cause, nor any sum accepted less than the amount specified in
this article.
The City Clerk shall issue any license required by this article
upon payment of the required fee or tax and compliance with all applicable
provisions of this Code. Licenses so issued shall be signed by the
City Clerk.
No license issued under this article shall, in any case, be
returned or transferred.
A.
All licenses for which an annual fee is paid in accordance with this
article shall expire one year after issuance.
B.
An annual license issued under this article may be renewed by paying
the prescribed fee on or before the expiration date of the current
license, and shall be considered delinquent if not renewed within
30 days thereafter. For every month or fraction of a month a license
shall remain delinquent after the 30 days allowed as aforesaid, there
shall be added to the amount of the license fee a penalty of $2, which
shall be collected in the same manner as the license fee. The addition
of such penalty to a license fee shall not exempt the person from
whom the fee is collectible from prosecution for conducting or engaging
in the business, trade, occupation or calling without a current license,
in violation of this article.
Licenses shall be posted in a conspicuous location.
All such fees shall be set by the City Council by resolution.
All such fees shall be set by the City Council by resolution.

provision of this article, or of failing to act or comply with the

than $50 nor more than $750 or by imprisonment not to exceed 60 days,
or by both such fine and imprisonment.
