Property owners and managers seeking a license under ch. 78 § 78-4 generally ensure their sworn application to the Village Clerk is complete and accurate before submission. A compliant applicant typically gathers the required character references from at least three reputable Village business people or property owners, discloses any prior convictions fully, and arranges for fingerprinting of both themselves and any premises manager through the Police Department. Operators acting through an agent also provide documentation establishing that agent's authority to act on their behalf.
