The City is authorized to make such inspections of licensed premises and take such action as may be required to enforce the provisions of any business license ordinance. The City may designate any appropriate City employees, designated representatives, and other agencies to undertake such inspections. Inspections should, to the extent possible, be in compliance with the following procedure:

A. An inspector may enter any licensed business location, at any reasonable time, to inspect the same or perform any duty imposed on the City, by any business license or regulation ordinance.

B. If the place of business is occupied, the inspector must first present proper credentials prior to entry and inspection.

C. If the place of business is unoccupied, the inspector shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the licensee or other person having charge or control of the premises and shall then present proper credentials and demand entry and right to inspect.

D. No licensee, employee or agent, shall fail or neglect, after proper demand, to admit the inspector, acting within the scope of the inspector’s employment, to any location licensed for business, or to interfere with the inspector while in the performance of the inspector’s duty.

E. Nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit undercover investigations or inspections. [Ord. 548 § 1, 2012; Ord. 24 § 16, 1995.]
