The applicant for a license shall be notified by the finance director of the tentative approval or denial of the application for a business license by the first Monday in May of each year. Within two weeks of the notification of the tentative approval of the business license, the applicant shall furnish to the finance director evidence of insurance providing comprehensive general liability coverage written on an occurrence basis, including but not limited to premises/operations, personal injury, contractual liability, independent contractors, and products/completed operations, with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of $1,000,000.00. The insurance policy shall designate the city, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers as additional insureds as to products, premises/operations of the named insured. The insurance policy shall further be endorsed to provide that any insurance and/or self-insurance maintained by the city shall apply in excess of, and not contribute with, insurance provided by the applicant. The risk manager shall be the certificate holder. For nonrenewal or cancellation of the insurance policy, 30 days' advance notice shall be provided to the finance director. The insurance policy shall be limited to the specific location for which the business license is issued. The finance director shall issue the license to the applicant upon the presentation of required proof of insurance.

A copy of the business license shall be transmitted to the fire district in which jurisdiction the proposed fireworks stand will be located.

(e)

The continued validity of any business license issued pursuant to this article shall be subject to the requirement that at least one of the responsible adults listed in the licensee's application shall attend a fireworks stand operator seminar conducted by the fireworks industry and approved by a fire department or fire district within the county. The failure of a licensee to have such a responsible individual attend such safety seminar shall subject the business license to revocation.
