Application for charter; review by commissioner; notice of hearing; persons entitled to notice; factors affecting decision of board; grounds for denial of charter.
Upon the filing of such application the commissioner shall determine that all necessary information has been furnished and shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing thereon in the city itself, or the nearest city thereto, where the public livestock market is proposed to be located. The commissioner shall cause a copy of such application together with notice of the time and place of hearing, to be served by mail not less than 15 days prior to such hearing upon the following persons or associations:
(1) The charter applicant;
(2) All duly organized statewide livestock associations in the state who have filed written request with the board to receive notice of such hearings and such other livestock associations as in the opinion of the commissioner would be interested in such application; and
(3) The owners of all public livestock markets in the state. The commissioner shall give such further notice of the hearing by publication once in a daily and weekly newspaper circulated in the city or town where such hearing is to be held, as, in the opinion of the commissioner, will give public notice of such time and place of hearing to persons interested therein. A hearing shall be conducted by the board, at which interested persons may formally appear in support of opposition thereto. If, after the hearing, the board finds from the evidence presented that such public livestock market for which a market charter is sought would beneficially serve the livestock economy, such market charter shall be issued to the applicant. The board, in determining whether the charter shall be granted, shall consider the following:
a. The financial stability, business integrity and fiduciary responsibility of the applicant;
b. The adequacy of the facilities proposed to be used;
c. The present market services elsewhere available to the trade area proposed to be served;
d. The livestock industry marketing benefits to be derived from the establishment and operation of the public livestock market proposed in the application; and
e. The economic feasibility of the proposed market service.
If the board finds the applicant is unqualified or determines that the charter should not be issued because of failure to comply with the standards prescribed in this article, it shall deny the application, and the applicant, or any interested party who claims to have been adversely affected by such an order, shall have the right to have the action of the board reviewed.
