(A) All persons or business enterprises who or which have bicycles or mopeds for commercial or rental purposes, all persons or business enterprises who or which operate buses or trams for public conveyance and all persons or business enterprises who or which have coin-operated amusement devises shall pay a license fee to the village on an annual basis as follows:

(3) For buses or trams, $5 for each person such bus or tram is capable of carrying, per year per vehicle; and
(4) For coin-operated amusement devices, $25, per device per year.
(B) All licenses required hereunder shall be valid for one year and shall be obtained by May 1 of each year. All license fees shall be paid with the application. Any bicycle, moped, bus, tram or coin-operated device placed in service after May 1 shall pay the full year's license fee regardless of the date placed in service.
(C) The issuance of the license and payment of the appropriate fee called for herein shall be evidenced by an annual non-transferable permanent sticker which shall be registered to each vehicle or device for which it is issued and shall be displayed on the front of the vehicle or device to which such license is issued.
(D) The application for a license for mopeds shall be accompanied by a policy of liability insurance written by a company authorized to do business in the State of Ohio in the sum of at least $100,000 coverage for bodily injuries or death of one person, $300,000 for bodily injuries or death of all persons injured or killed in any one accident plus $50,000 for loss or damage in any one accident to property of others. The application for a license for buses and trams shall be accompanied by a policy of liability insurance written by a company authorized to do business in the State of Ohio in the sum of at least $100,000 coverage for bodily injuries or death of one person, $500,000 for bodily injuries or death of all persons injured or killed in any one accident plus $50,000 for loss or damage in any one accident to property of others. The policy must be in full force and effect prior to engaging in such rental or transportation business and remain in full force and effect at all times during the operation of such business.
(E) Every policy of insurance required by division (D) above shall contain a clause obligating the insurer or surety to give the Village Clerk at least ten days written notice before the cancellation, expiration, lapse or other termination of the policy. The license issued shall expire upon the termination of such insurance, or upon the termination of the liability of the insurer or surety thereon, in accordance with such notice, unless a new policy of liability approved as hereinabove provided, is substituted therefore. Failure to give the notice required shall operate to continue the liability of the insurer or surety for the benefit of persons injured or damaged, as though such policy continued in full force and effect.
(F) Whoever violates any provision of this section shall be guilty of a minor misdemeanor and receive the penalty provided for by law. Each day a violation continues to exist may be considered a separate offense.
