Application for licenses hereunder shall be filed in writing with the City Clerk, on a form to be provided by the City, and shall specify:
(A) The name and address of the applicant and if a firm, corporation, partnership or association, the principal officers thereof and their addresses.
(B) The address of the premises where the licensed device or devices are to be operated, together with the character of the business as carried on at such place.
(C) The trade name and general description of the device or devices to be licensed, the name of the manufacturer and the serial number and, if the applicant is the proprietor, the number of devices to be licensed.
(D) The names and addresses of the operator of the devices, if other than the proprietor.
The proper license fee shall accompany such application. Application for license hereunder shall be first referred by the City Clerk to the Chief of Police who shall make an investigation as deemed necessary. When the Chief of Police has completed the investigation, he will send written recommendations to the City Council. If the Chief of Police's investigative report recommends that certain conditions be placed on the issuance of the license, the City Council is authorized to issue the license subject to such conditions as shall be necessary. If the application is approved by the City Council, the license shall be issued by the Clerk and the Clerk shall transmit the fee to the City Treasurer. If the license is denied, the fee shall be returned to the applicant. Once a proprietor's license has been issued, the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to issue machine licenses without further action of the City Council. All licenses under this chapter shall expire on December 31 following their issuance. The proprietor's license shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the establishment of the licensee. The Clerk shall also furnish and there shall be prominently displayed on and affixed to each device a serially numbered license sticker for each device. Such license shall be nonassignable and nontransferable, and in the case of a proprietor shall only apply to the premises for which such license is issued. No more than one device shall be operated under one license. (Ord. 896, 7-8-2002)
