Whenever in any ordinance it is provided that a license be obtained before engaging upon any act or in any specified business, trade or occupation, or providing services for payment or hire for the convenience, comfort or entertainment of others, or for any other designated purpose, it shall be a violation hereof for any person to engage upon or undertake any activity or enterprise thus specified until a license has been issued to him in compliance with the provision of this and of any other applicable ordinance.
Except as otherwise specifically provided, every applicant for a license shall file with the Village Clerk a statement signed and sworn to by the applicant, showing:
A. 
The name of the applicant.
B. 
His business and home addresses.
C. 
The purpose for which the license is sought.
D. 
Any other data necessary to meet the requirements of any ordinance by provisions of which the license is required.
All licenses issued on an annual basis shall expire on the first day of May of each year. The precise date of expiration shall clearly marked upon each temporary license.
All licenses shall be issued by the Mayor to such persons as he shall deem fit and proper upon an evaluation of their qualifications and upon compliance of the applicant with the provisions of this or any other applicable ordinances. However, licenses shall be refused which, in the judgment of the Mayor, shall be likely to disturb the peace and order of the village or be immoral or improper.
Any applicant who has been refused a license by the Mayor may apply for its issuance to the Board of Trustees at a meeting thereof, and the same may be granted or refused by the Board.
Every license issued shall be signed by the Mayor and countersigned by the Village Clerk, who shall keep a record thereof and the amount of fee to be paid therefor.
No license shall be effective until the fee therefor as established by the Board of Trustees shall have been paid to the Treasurer, who shall endorse his receipt of the fee upon each license which is presented to him, properly signed and countersigned and accompanied by the amount of the fee.
Any license issued pursuant to the provisions of this or any other ordinance may be revoked by the Mayor, after notice and hearing, for any of the following causes:
A. 
Fraud or false statement in the application for the license or in connection with carrying out of the business, activity or enterprise for which the license was issued.
B. 
Any violation of a term of this ordinance or of any other ordinance under whose provisions the license was issued.
C. 
Conviction of the licensee of any crime.
D. 
Carrying out the licensed business, enterprise or activity in an unlawful manner or in such a way as to break the peace or constitute a menace to the health, safety or general welfare of the public.
E. 
Any transfer or assignment of the license to any person without the written consent of the Mayor.
Unless specifically provided otherwise, any license duly issued may be renewed upon application by the licensee, accompanied by the appropriate fee.
Every person to whom a license or permit has been issued shall at all times have the same with him at the site or place where the business or act licensed is being performed, and available for inspection by a police officer or any other authorized person.
