Chapter 5.32 PEDDLERS
Section 5.32.040 Investigation of applicants.
Upon receipt of each application, it shall be referred to the
Chief of Police who shall
investigate the business, personal and criminal history of the applicant. The investigation shall
include a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history background investigation. If the
applicant is a corporation or limited liability company, an FBI criminal history investigation shall
be required for each manager, officer, director and shareholder owning in the aggregate more
than five percent (5%) of the stock of the company or corporation. If the applicant is a
copartnership, an FBI criminal history investigation shall be required for each general partner or
limited partner owning in the aggregate more than a five percent (5%) interest in the partnership.
The applicant shall remit payment of the fee required by the City for the FBI investigation(s) and
investigative report(s), which fee shall be set by Title 18 of the City's Municipal Code (same
being the ordinance of the City which annually sets license and other fees and charges of the
City) as from time to time in effect. The applicant (and any other person for whom a background
investigation is required) shall sign the required forms for the FBI investigation(s), and be
fingerprinted on the required FBI fingerprint card at the time the applicant applies for the
peddler's license. No action will be taken on the application until the Police Chief has received
the FBI report with regard to the criminal history investigation(s) pertaining to the applicant and
each other person for whom a background investigation is required. The application shall be
denied in the event the FBI investigative report indicates the applicant or any other person for
whom a background investigation is required has a criminal history which disqualifies the
applicant from receiving the license.
