§ 6-185. Approval of application by chief of police and building official.  


Latest version.
  • No license required by this division shall be issued to any applicant unless the application is approved by the chief of police.

(Code 1964, § 30-61; Code 1988, § 6-123; Ord. No. 43040, § 3, 11-16-1961)

Editor's note

This section is not unreasonable and does not constitute a grant of arbitrary power to deny the license, nor does it constitute an unlawful delegation of legislative authority. Reasonably construed in its entirety, the section limits the functions of the chief of police to the duties specifically stated, and if the applicant and his premises meet the required standards, the officers are obligated to approve the application. The section merely provides for the delegation of administrative duties that are designed to assist the license inspector in the administration of the ordinance. See Grisby v. Mitchum , 191 K. 293 (1963).
