A. Fee: Upon an employee complying with the provisions of subsection 3-2-11-3A of this chapter, city staff shall collect an investigation fee in such amount as is established by resolution by the city council to reimburse the city for the costs of processing the application and issue a certificate to such employee showing compliance therewith. Any information received from the background check shall be confidential and made accessible only to the mayor, the city council, the city attorney, the employer of such person and law enforcement officers. A bartender's card issued pursuant to section 3-2-11-3 of this chapter shall be valid for three (3) years.
B. Nevada Gaming Card: The city shall accept proof of a current valid state of Nevada gaming card as evidence of the background check required by this chapter. The bearer of such current valid state of Nevada gaming card must produce that card upon making application for a bartender's card. The expiration of the bartender's card shall be the same date as that of the state of Nevada gaming card. The bearer of any properly issued, currently valid state of Nevada gaming card shall still be required to watch the video required in section 3-2-11-3 of this chapter and pay a twenty five dollar ($25.00) administrative processing fee for the issuance of the bartender's card.
C. Server's Card: The city shall issue a server's card, which allows the holder of the card to serve alcohol as part of his/her normal duties as a food server or cocktail waiter or waitress, but does not allow the server to act in any capacity as a bartender. A server's card shall be required of any person who serves alcohol, without "making", "creating" or "mixing" drinks. The requirements to obtain a server's card are the same as a bartender's card, except that the server's card shall be issued for one year only and the person seeking a server's card shall be required to renew their card annually by paying a twenty five dollar ($25.00) administrative processing fee for renewal. The cost of the initial background check shall be set by resolution of the city council and adjusted from time to time by resolution.
D. Employer's Responsibility: It shall be the responsibility of the employer of bartenders and servers to provide, on their letterhead, the type of license required for their employee. Ultimately, it is the employer who shall be held liable should an employee work outside of his/her city issued card. An employer shall be fined one hundred dollars ($100.00) per incident where an employee works without the required card, or works in a capacity other than that authorized for the employee.
E. Card Not Transferable: A bartender's card or server's card shall not be transferable and is only valid for the company or business the card was issued for. The card holder may be fined one hundred dollars ($100.00) per incident when he/she works at a location for which he/she does not have the proper work card.
F. Proof Of Card: Each cardholder is required to provide to any person, including, but not limited to, law enforcement, proof that they have a validly issued card at any time they are working either as a bartender or a server of alcohol. Failure to produce the card upon demand, or working without the required card could result in the bartender or server being charged under section 1-4-1 of this code for a misdemeanor.
