investigation could disclose information, which could cause your application to be denied.

the City, unless the conviction is related to the matter for which the license is sought, according to Minnesota
Statute 364.03. However, failure to reveal the requested criminal information will be considered falsification
of the application and may be used as grounds for the denial of the application.

information provided.
