§ 692.02 Permit Application; Fee; Term

   The Director of Public Safety shall, upon payment by the applicant for the permit of a fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) to the City Treasurer for each permit requested, grant the permits for a two (2) year period, expiring on the 30th day of June in odd numbered years, unless sooner forfeited by the Director, provided, however, that any permit issued under this section between the effective date of this section and June 30, 1993, shall expire on June 30, 1995, unless sooner forfeited by the Director. A conviction for a violation of any ordinance of the City governing such places shall be sufficient cause for the forfeiture of the permits. No permits shall be issued to any person to whom a permit formerly issued has been forfeited, or who has been convicted of a felony. The permit shall bear the name of the person to whom granted, the name of the street and number of the building where the music is to be employed, and the terms on which the same is granted, as well as a clause specifying the conditions of forfeiture, and shall be signed by the Director of Public Safety and bear the seal of the City, and it shall not be transferred. The Director may, notwithstanding the provisions of this section, issue a permit for one (1) entertainment without the payment of a fee as provided in this section.
