(A) In order for a licensed establishment to operate a video gaming terminal in the city, the licensed establishment is required to obtain an annual video gaming terminal permit for each video gaming terminal from the city by submitting a written application to the City Clerk, on a form provided by the City Clerk. The burden is upon each applying licensed establishment to demonstrate its eligibility and suitability for the permit. All video gaming terminal permits issued by the city shall expire April 30, next, after date of issue. Annual nonrefundable permit fees for each video gaming terminal shall be as follows:
Licensed retail establishment | $1,000 |
Licensed fraternal establishment | $250 |
Licensed veterans’ establishment | $250 |
(B) The permit fee shall be paid in full at the time the initial or renewal application is filed with the city. A permit shall be purely a personal privilege, good until April 30 following the date of its issuance, unless sooner revoked as provided by law, and shall not constitute property, nor shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment, or execution, nor shall it be alienable or transferable, voluntarily or involuntarily, or subject to being encumbered.
(C) Video gaming prohibited. A video gaming café shall not be qualified to obtain any existing classification of O’Fallon liquor licenses and is prohibited from becoming a licensed video gaming location within the city. Further, no such license allowing video gaming cafes shall be created, maintained or authorized by this or any other chapter.
