A. Upon submission and filing of the application, the city clerk shall refer the application to relevant or interested city departments, including, but not limited to, the police, fire, building and planning department which will conduct investigation to verify the accuracy of the information provided and determine if the property meets the requirements for lawfully conducting bingo games within ten (10) business days of receipt of the application. The license shall be issued for a specified location and shall be valid for a period of one (1) year from date of issuance.
B. A license issued under this chapter shall be valid for one (1) year at which time the license shall expire. A new license shall only be obtained by filing a new application and payment of the license fee.
C. The issuance of a license to an applicant during a particular year does not create a vested right on the licensee's part to continue to offer bingo plays/games in the future. The city council expressly reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision of this chapter. If this chapter is repealed, all licenses issued under this chapter shall cease to be effective on the effective date of the repealing ordinance. (Ord. 445 § 1, 2024; Ord. 117 § 5, 1993)
