Sec. 22-66Authorized designee
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the chapter for anyone running a business in town: the yearly occupation tax (the city's business license), plus special rules for pawn shops, phone companies, arcades and coin-operated machines, fireworks stands, food trucks, and permits for special events on city property like festivals, parades and big cookouts in the park. Several parts are fairly recent (2015-2025), but some, like the pawnshop rules, are older and still describe paper record books.
The city manager shall, on behalf of the city, exercise day-to-day administrative duties necessary to fulfill the regulatory authority of the city under § 46-5-1 et seq. and shall perform the following duties:
(1) Review application information submitted by a telephone company to the city and, if an application is incomplete, notify the telegraph or telephone company within 15 business days of the receipt of such application, identifying in such notice all application deficiencies.
(2) Report the receipt of a completed application to the council within 60 calendar days of the receipt of such completed application.
(3) Review payments of due compensation submitted by the company to ensure compliance with the provisions of the amended law and this article.
