Currently, the chief of police must make and complete an investigation of the statements made in a direct seller license application within 10 days following referral of the application by the city clerk. This ordinance removes the 10-day time limit for conducting an investigation. In addition, the ordinance requires that each license applicant be fingerprinted by the police department as part of the police background investigation.
