§ 29-3. Same—Application; term of issuance; payment of state license prerequisite to issuance.

The application for a license as a transient merchant shall be made in writing to the city auditor. There shall accompany such application a certified copy showing that the applicant has obtained a state transient merchant license as required by law. Upon review and approval, the city auditor may issue the license in compliance with the terms set forth in this chapter. If the city auditor believes issues relevant to the issuance of the license should be brought to the attention of the city council, the auditor shall submit the application to the appropriate committee of the city council for consideration.

The city auditor shall issue such license to an applicant for a period of no longer than one (1) year from the date of its issuance, provided that such license shall not be issued until compliance by the applicant with the terms of this chapter and due proof by the applicant of the issuance to him of a state license to do business as a transient merchant as provided by law. Making sales or offering to do so without such license as provided by this chapter shall be unlawful.
