[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Alpine as § 7-1 (Ord. No. 205) of the 1970 Revised General Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a uniform set of procedures for administering the issuance, renewal and revocation of all licenses issued by the borough, except alcoholic beverage licenses and dog licenses.
[Amended by Ord. No. 515; 2-23-2000 by Ord. No. 558]
All applications for licenses shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee of $10 and shall be made to the Borough Clerk on forms provided by him, and shall contain the following information:
Evidence that the applicant has complied with the New Jersey Department of Revenue requirements regarding sales and use taxes.
Each application shall be referred to the Chief of Police or a police officer designated by him, who shall immediately institute whatever investigation of the applicant's business responsibility, moral character and ability to properly conduct the licensed activity as he considers necessary for the protection of the public. He shall communicate his findings in writing to the Borough Clerk within a reasonable time after the application has been filed. If the investigator decides that the applicant's character, ability or business responsibility is unsatisfactory, or the products, services or activity are not free from fraud, he shall disapprove the application and the Clerk shall refuse to issue the license and so notify the applicant. Otherwise, the Clerk shall issue the license immediately, provided the required license fees have been paid and except in cases where approval of the Mayor and Council is required. In the case of an application for a solicitor's, peddler's or canvasser's license, the license may be issued immediately subject to investigation. In the event of the denial of a license, the applicant may appeal to the Council for a hearing. The appeal must be filed, in writing, with the Borough Clerk within 14 days after notification of the denial. The Council shall hold its hearing within 10 days thereafter, and its decision shall be final.
Licenses shall be in a form which the Council shall prescribe by resolution, and shall contain the following information:
Any other appropriate information which the Mayor and Council may require by resolution.
The Borough Clerk shall keep a record of all licenses issued under this chapter. The record shall be in a form prescribed by resolution of the Council and shall contain the same information as is required by § 142-4 to be contained in the license. It shall also indicate the amount of the fee paid for each license, the date upon which payment was received, the date of issuance of the license, whether the license is a new license or a renewal, and any other information which the Mayor and Council may require by resolution.
Each license shall apply only to the person to whom it was issued and shall not be transferable to another person. Licenses may be transferred from place to place, in cases where the licensed activity is conducted at a fixed location, but only with the approval of the Council by resolution. The fee for the transfer of a license from place to place shall be $5.
Whenever a license has been issued immediately upon application, pending the results of the investigation provided for by this chapter, such license may be summarily revoked if the result of the investigation is such as would have resulted in denial of the license.
Notice of a hearing for the revocation of a license or permit shall be given in writing by the Borough Clerk. The notice shall specifically set forth the grounds on which the proposed revocation is based and the time and place of the hearing. It shall be served by mailing a copy to the licensee at his last known address by certified mail, return receipt requested, at least five days prior to the date set for the hearing.
The Council may issue another license to a person whose license has been revoked or denied if after hearing it is satisfied by clear and convincing evidence that the acts which led to the revocation or denial will not occur again; otherwise, no person whose license has been revoked or denied, nor any person acting for him, directly or indirectly, shall be issued another license to carry on the same activity.
The Council may, by resolution, make rules and regulations which interpret or amplify any provision of this chapter or for the purpose of administering or making more effective the provisions of this chapter. No regulation shall be inconsistent with, alter or amend any provision of this chapter and no regulation shall impose any requirement which is in addition to or greater than the requirements that are expressly or by implication imposed by any provision of this chapter.
