The bingo manager shall give a fidelity bond in the sum of $10,000 in favor of the organization conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties; except that, the City Council may waive the bond requirement upon a showing by the proposed bingo manager and the license organization that a bond is not required to protect the organization and upon the unanimous vote of the City Council. Terms of the bond shall provide that notice shall be given in writing to the City Council not less than 30 days prior to its cancellation. Each bingo occasion shall be conducted under the direct supervision of the bingo manager, who shall be responsible for the conduct of the bingo occasion in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. No person shall act as bingo manger for more than one organization.
