Henderson Municipal Code § 4.04.180

in effect

4.04.180 - License, key employees. A. Whenever it is the judgment of the director, the council, the chief of police or a designee of the director or chief of police, that the public interest will be served by requiring an employee of the licensee to obtain a finding of suitability to hold key employee status, the division shall serve notice upon the licensee to make application for the finding of suitability for the key employee. B. Grounds for requiring a finding of suitability of a key employee which are deemed in the public interest include, but are not limited to, situations where the employee is new to the industry, to a particular business establishment, or to the position or the level of influence or responsibility which he holds, or when the division, for reasons concerning the employee's character, background, reputation or associations deems it in the public interest to require such finding of suitability. C. The licensee shall, within 30 calendar days following receipt of the notice of determination to require a finding of suitability of any key employee, present the application for the key employee to the division, or provide documentary evidence to the director that such key employee is either no longer employed by the licensee or no longer employed in the position for which the finding of suitability is being required. Application, investigation, and payment of fees shall be made in accordance with requirements of the appropriate section of title 4. D. Any person notified by the division to make application pursuant to this regulation, may request the chief financial officer of the city to review the determination of that person's status within the licensee's organization anytime within ten days following the filing of a completed application as required by this regulation. In the event the chief financial officer determines that the applicant is not a key employee, or that the public interest and policies of the city do not require the approval of the key employee at that time, then the key employee applicant shall be allowed to withdraw his application and he may continue in his employment. In no event shall the request for review, stay the obligation of the licensee to present the key employee's application within the 30-day period set forth in subsection C. E. The licensee by whom the key employee is employed, may be subject to disciplinary action for employment of an employee in a key position after disapproval by the director or chief financial officer, or for employment of an employee in a key position if said employee refuses to make application when notified to do so as set forth. F. Continued employment in a key position after disapproval by the director or chief financial officer shall be a violation of the provisions of this title. Further, the individual may not apply for a new finding of suitability until the completion of a minimum of one year. (Ord. No. 3290, § 1, 10-6-2015)
