A. Whenever it appears to the chief of police that security personnel are necessary to protect the health, safety, welfare or morals of the public, the chief of police shall have the authority to require that a cardroom licensee provide uniformed security personnel on the premises and the parking lot used by the cardroom for its patrons and employees, as a condition of the license. Each license shall have this potential condition specified on its face, or on the reverse side. The chief of police shall determine the necessity for the requirement for security personnel based on the propensity for peace disturbances or criminal activity in the geographic area in which the cardroom is located, based upon criminal activity or peace disturbances on the cardroom premises, based upon the particular time of day, or based upon any other factors which affect the health and safety of the public and cardroom patrons. The chief of police shall notify the licensee, in writing, as to time periods and days of the week during which security is required, the number of security officers required, and the location where such officers are to be provided (whether in the parking lot or on the premises). Upon receiving the written notice of security requirements, the licensee shall conform to those requirements within forty-eight (48) hours of service thereof and shall maintain those requirements in full force and effect until such time as the chief of police deems they are no longer necessary. A licensee may appeal the imposition of conditions imposed in the manner set forth in Section 5.32.100 of this chapter.
B. Between the hours of two a.m. and six a.m., the licensee shall not knowingly permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises or in the parking lot which the cardroom uses for its patrons.
C. The licensee shall not knowingly permit any obviously intoxicated person to participate in any card game.
D. The licensee shall not knowingly permit any illegal activity to occur on the premises or in the parking lot used by the cardroom for its patrons or employees. Illegal activity includes, but is not limited to, narcotics violations, bookmaking, illegal gambling, loansharking, receiving stolen property, or prostitution.
