(1989 Code, § 7-304) (Am. Ord. passed 11-16-99)
Upon a majority vote of the City Council approving the issuance of a poolroom license, the Tax Collector shall issue it. The license shall specify the name of the licensee, the specific place where the business is to be carried on, the number of tables that are to be operated and the days on which the license shall become effective and expire.
(1989 Code, § 7-305)
At the time of filing application for a license in compliance with the provisions of this article, each applicant shall pay in cash or by certified check the entire amount of the license fee required for the year in which such application is made, but in the event that the application for a license is refused, the city shall immediately return to the applicant such payment.
(1989 Code, § 7-306)
The City Council may at any time for cause and on such reasonable hearing as it may prescribe revoke a poolroom license, and if the license of any licensee is revoked no license shall be issued within one year thereafter to such licensee or the partnership or corporation of which such licensee is a member, officer or stockholder. When the City Council finds that the application for license, upon which a license was issued was materially false in any particular, such license shall be revoked. A conviction for violation of any of the provisions of this article shall, when such judgment becomes final, be sufficient grounds for the City Council to revoke the license.
