5.04.090 Real party in interest.

The council, city manager, police department official, or other appropriate officer of body may examine under oath any applicant to determine who is the real party in interest in the business, occupation or exhibition for which a license is sought. If the council or other body or official finds that the application is in the interest of one whose license has been revoked or who has been refused a license, it may treat the application as though made by the real party in interest, and the application shall have the same effect against any future applications as if it had been made in the name of the real party in interest.
