Fulton Denial ordinance (§ 10-36)

If an application for a license under this article is denied by the city clerk, the applicant may request, in writing, a review of such denial by the city council, such request to be made by the applicant within ten days after the application for license has been denied by the city clerk. Upon the written request for review made within the time specified, the city council shall, within 30 days after the receipt of such request, investigate and examine the applicant, his qualifications, the proposed place of business and the facts and circumstances surrounding such application and the denial of such application by the city clerk. If a majority of its members determines that the application should be granted, the city council may order the city clerk to issue the license applied for. If the city clerk does not approve or disapprove such application within 30 days from the date such application is filed, it shall be assumed that the application is denied, and the applicant may perfect his appeal to the city council as provided in this section.
