Any person who conducts a bingo game in the city in violation of state law or this chapter, shall, in addition to any other penalty or remedies for such conduct, be deemed to be conducting a public nuisance on the property where the same is located. The conduct of such a game shall be deemed for all purposes to be a continuing public nuisance and shall be subject to abatement, administrative citations or other remedies pursuant to the Municipal Code. City may elect to file a civil action to abate such a public nuisance and if the court determines that a public nuisance exists, the city shall be awarded its attorneys' fees and other costs incurred with reference to such civil action. Contemporaneously with such a civil action, criminal proceedings may also be filed against the person or persons conducting bingo games without there being a valid permit in effect.
