(A) City investigation. Upon receipt of an application for a premises permit or bingo hall license or renewal thereof and payment of the investigation fee required by § 114.07 of this chapter, the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer will refer the application for investigation. The City Administrator/Clerk- Treasurer must as part of the investigation, obtain from the Board data received by the Board in the license application and premises permit application of the organization and other information that the Board may have in its possession relating to the eligibility and qualifications of the licensed organization to conduct or continue to conduct lawful gambling at the premises specified in the permit application.
(B) City Council action. The City Council will review the application for a bingo hall license or premises permit or renewal thereof. If the application is for the renewal of an existing premises or bingo hall license permit, the Council may by resolution decline to approve the application if:

(2) The applicant has engaged in conduct constituting grounds for the revocation or suspension of an intoxicating liquor license as specified in § 110.35 of this code of ordinances, or both division (B)(1) above and this division (B)(2), as the case may be.
(C) Prior Board approval. The city will not consider an application for a lawful gambling premises permit or bingo hall license or renewal thereof unless:
(1) The application for the permit or license has been approved by the Board; or
(2) The Board has indicated in writing to the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer that Board approval is granted pending only the approval of the City Council.
