Preliminary Investigation. On an initial application for an On -Sale License, and on application for transfer of an existing On -Sale License, the applicant shall pay, with his application, an investigation fee as established by the City Council in the annual fee schedule. The city shall conduct a preliminary background and financial investigation of the applicant. The application, in such case, shall be made on a form prescribed by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and with such additional information as the council may require. If the council deems it in the public interest to have an investigation made on a particular application for a renewal of an On -Sale License, it shall so determine. In any case, if the council determines that a comprehensive background and financial investigation of the applicant is necessary, it may conduct the investigation itself through the Public Safety Director or contract with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation for the investigation. No license shall be issued, transferred, or renewed if the results show to the satisfaction of the council that the issuance would not be in the public interest and safety. If an investigation outside the state is required, the applicant shall be charged the cost not to exceed Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars. It shall be paid by the applicant after deducting any initial investigation fee already paid. The fees required under this section shall be payable by the applicant whether or not the license is granted. Ordinance No. 13 -99, passed 6/14/99 4 • •
