"If there is any kind of procedure for applying, the information would have to be disseminated in a fair way so that everybody has access to it," Larcom said. The details of when and how the city will accept applications haven't been worked out. Larcom noted the licensing ordinance passed by the City Council this week won't take effect for 60 days. "So in terms of any procedure as to how applications are going to be accepted, there is nothing in place." "At this point, there is no legal basis for setting a policy. "There is no procedure in place," said Kristen Larcom, senior assistant city attorney.
