Legal Documents of Gatlinburg

Each applicant for a license to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises of any hotel, restaurant or club must first obtain a certificate of good moral character, on a form provided by the city manager, signed by the mayor of the City of Gatlinburg. The certificate shall state:

1. That the applicant is personally known to the mayor and the board of commissioners and is a person of good moral character; or
2. That the applicant is not personally known to the mayor and the board of commissioners, but that the city has made careful investigation of the applicant's general character and from such investigation, has determined it to be good.

Consideration of each application for a certificate shall be undertaken at a regular or specially called meeting of the board of commissioners and approved by the vote of at least three members thereof.

Each applicant for a certificate of good moral character is deemed to consent, by virtue of his application, to an investigation of his general character including, but not limited to, the determination of any record of convictions. (1976 Code, § 2-127)
