5.22.040 General Occupational Permit - Review of Applicants.
A. The Chief of Police (or designee) shall cause all applications for permits to be reviewed. The purpose of this review shall be as follows:
1. To determine the genuineness of all credentials and documents presented by the applicant; and
2. To determine if the applicant meets the fitness requirements set forth in LMC 5.22.040(C) or (D) and, if applicable, the requirements set forth in 5.22.100.
B. The Police Department shall endeavor to complete its review within ten (10) working days after receipt of completed applications.
C. The presence of an outstanding warrant for the applicant, regardless of jurisdiction or severity of offense is cause for denial of an occupational permit under this section.
D. Prior conviction of a felony may be considered, along with other factors, in determining whether a occupational permit should be issued. However, conviction of a felony shall not be the sole reason for denying a permit unless such conviction was within the past 10 years and directly relates to the specific occupation, trade, vocation, or business for which the application is made.
E. Prior revocation of an occupational permit may be cause for denial of an occupational permit under this chapter. (Ord. 1387 §1, 2012).
