A. Each applicant for a manager’s or entertainer’s license shall complete an application on forms provided by the city containing the information identified below. Each applicant for a manager’s or entertainer’s license shall be at least eighteen years of age. A copy of the application shall be provided to the police department for its review, investigation and recommendation.

The manager’s or entertainer’s license application shall require the following information:

b. A state issued identification card bearing the applicant’s photograph and date of birth;
c. An official passport issued by the United States of America;

6. Two two-inch by two-inch color photographs of applicant, taken within six months of the date of application showing only the full face.
7. Authorization for the city, its agents and employees to investigate and confirm any statements set forth in the application.
8. Every entertainer shall provide his or her license to the adult concession manager on duty on the premises prior to his or her performance. The manager shall retain the licenses of the entertainers readily available for inspection by the city at any time during business hours of the adult concession.
B. The license officer may request additional information or clarification when necessary to determine compliance with this chapter.
C. An adult concession manager’s or an entertainer’s license shall be issued by the license officer within fourteen days from the date the complete application and fee are received unless the license officer determines that the applicant has failed to provide any information required to be supplied according to this chapter, has made any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of material fact in the application, or has failed to meet any of the requirements for issuance of a license under this chapter. If the license officer determines that the applicant has failed to qualify for the license applied for, the license officer shall deny the application in writing and shall cite the specific reasons therefore, including applicable laws. If the license officer has failed to approve or deny an application for an adult concession manager’s license within fourteen days of filing of a complete application, the applicant may, subject to all other applicable laws, commence work as an adult concession manager in a duly licensed adult concession until notified by the license officer that the license has been denied, but in no event may the license officer extend the application review time for more than an additional twenty days.
D. An applicant for an entertainer’s license shall be issued a temporary license upon receipt of a complete license application and fee. Said temporary license will automatically expire on the fourteenth day following the filing of the complete application and fee, unless the license officer has failed to approve or deny the license application in which case the temporary license shall be valid until the license officer approves or denies the application, or until the final determination of any appeal from a denial of the application. In no event may the license officer extend the application review time for more than an additional twenty days.
E. Also the license officer may refuse to grant or renew a license:
1. If an applicant has been convicted of any felony or any offense not constituting a felony, but which because of its nature would render the licensee a risk to the public health, safety and welfare, or any offense involving moral turpitude as determined by the police chief. (Ord. 2902 § 2, 2013)
