Sec. 10-134.01. Issuance of manager’s permit.
A. The City Clerk shall approve or deny the issuance of a manager’s permit within sixty calendar days after receipt of an application. If the City Clerk fails to approve or deny the issuance of a manager’s permit within sixty calendar days after receipt of an application, the permit shall be deemed to have been approved. The City Clerk shall approve the issuance of a manager’s permit unless one or more of the following is found to be true:

2. The applicant has failed to provide information required by this Article for issuance of the permit or has falsely answered a question or request for information on the application form.
3. The applicant has been convicted of a violation of a provision of this Article within two years immediately preceding the application. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the disqualification of the applicant.
4. The application fee required by this Article has not been paid.
5. The applicant has been convicted of an offense listed in subdivision 10-134(A)(7)(a) for which the time period required in subdivision 10-134(A)(7)(b) has not elapsed. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the disqualification of the applicant.
B. The permit shall state on its face the name of the permittee, the number of the permit issued to that applicant, and the expiration date. The permit shall contain a photograph of the permittee. A permittee shall keep the permit on his or her person or on the premises where the permittee is then working, and shall produce such permit for inspection upon request by a law enforcement officer or other authorized City official.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a person may act as a manager at a business licensed pursuant to this article for the sixty consecutive calendar day period following the date of application or, if the application is denied, until the decision of the City Clerk to deny the license becomes final, provided that:
1. The person has submitted a complete application for a manager’s permit pursuant to this article, and
2. The person maintains a copy of that application on his or her person or on the premises where the applicant is then working and produces that copy for inspection upon request by a law enforcement officer or other authorized City official.
D. No person to whom a valid, unexpired permit has been issued pursuant to this section may perform as an adult cabaret performer at an adult cabaret at which the permittee is providing the services of a manager.
E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a permittee who has applied for permit cancellation pursuant to subsection 10-137(B) and who is not performing the functions of a manager under this Article on the premises of a particular licensee may perform as an adult cabaret performer on behalf of that licensee upon application as required by this Article.
