Sec. 5.10.080. Persons prohibited as licensees. A. A license shall not be issued to or held by any person contrary to the Colorado Marijuana Code and the rules and regulations promulgated by the State of Colorado. B. In investigating the qualifications of an applicant, licensee, owner, or manager, the local licensing authority shall make a finding and determination as to the good moral character and criminal history of such persons in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in the Colorado Marijuana Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In so doing, the local licensing authority may incorporate any findings as to good character and criminal history previously made by the state licensing authority or may, in its sole discretion, make its own findings. C. The city shall not be required to perform a criminal background check if the state licensing authority has already performed a criminal background check or may, in its sole discretion, perform its own background check. In such case, the local licensing authority may have access to criminal history record information furnished by a criminal justice agency subject to any restrictions imposed by such agency. In the event the local licensing authority considers the applicant's criminal history record, the local licensing authority shall also consider any information provided by the applicant regarding such criminal history record, including but not limited to evidence of rehabilitation, character references, and educational achievements, especially those items pertaining to the period of time between the applicant's last criminal conviction and the consideration of the application for a local license. If the city performs the criminal background check, a fee in the amount established by resolution of city council may be charged for the costs of each fingerprint analysis and background investigation undertaken to qualify new applicants, managers, and any other persons required to be qualified pursuant to the Colorado Marijuana Code, this chapter, and any related rules and regulations. The local licensing authority may verify any of the information an applicant is required to submit. Section 4.
