§ 10-87. Issuance; denial.

(a)

Upon completion of any investigation of an application for a license required under this division, the sheriff shall, within seven days following such investigation or if the sheriff determines that information provided is sufficient to prepare a report within seven days following receipt of the application, prepare a report containing his findings and recommendation and forward the application and report back to the county administrator or his designee. Where the report prepared by the sheriff indicates that corrective or remedial action by the applicant may cause the sheriff to revise his report and change his recommendation, the sheriff prior to forwarding such application and report shall notify the applicant of his findings and afford the applicant 14 days in which to accomplish such corrective or remedial steps that will enable the sheriff to revise his report to one of approval. At the end of such 14-day period the sheriff shall refer such application together with a report or revised report back to the county administrator or his designee for action to approve or disapprove the application. The county administrator or his designee shall, within five days of receipt of any application and report of the sheriff, either approve or disapprove the application. If approved, the license fee provided for in section 10-88 shall be remitted to the county administrator or his designee prior to the license being issued.

(b)

If the application is disapproved, any temporary license previously issued to the applicant shall terminate on the date the county administrator or his designee deposits in the mail the notice of the disapproval and the reasons therefore, which notice shall also indicate that the temporary license has expired.

(c)

Any applicant who receives a notice of disapproval and termination of the temporary license shall have the right to appeal such denial.
