"Bingo," as defined in this section, applies exclusively to this chapter and shall not be applied in the construction or enforcement of any other provision of law.

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

Every officer and department to which an application for a license is referred may require such additional information and the filing of such additional forms as he or she deems necessary.

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

If the city manager, or the city manager's designee, finds that the facts are such that the application for the license would be subject to denial if the license is issued without conditions, but that conditions can be imposed which will eliminate any ground for said denial, he or she will issue the license subject to such conditions.

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

In addition to the annual business license fee, the licensee must pay an additional fee for law enforcement and/or public safety costs which are directly related to bingo activities. Such additional fees will not exceed the actual costs incurred in providing the service. The city will collect the additional fees on a monthly basis. The city manager must approve the level of law enforcement and/or public safety necessary to secure public safety.

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

The applicant for such license has the right to appeal, in writing, the decision of the city manager, or the city manager's designee, to the city council within fifteen days of the date of such decision.

The bond shall remain in force and effect for the entire period of the license.

If the bond is canceled, a new bond in like form must be immediately filed and maintained and applied as provided in Sections 3.28.210 and 3.28.220 of this chapter. Upon failure to so file and maintain a new bond, the city manager will suspend such bingo manager's license pending compliance.

The city manager may require the filing of a new bond, and immediately upon the recovery in any action on such bond, the bingo manager must file a new bond or assign savings and loan certificates to the city as provided for in this chapter.

If in lieu of a bond, an applicant assigns to the city savings and loan certificates, the applicant shall agree in writing that if the city manager finds that any person sustains any pecuniary loss through any act of grand or petty theft or other wrongful act on the part of the principal, or his or her agent(s) or employee(s), the city may redeem a sufficient number of such certificates and from the proceeds reimburse such person for the loss sustained.

(Ord. 985 § 2 (part), 2024; Ord. 790 § 16 (part), 1999)

The city manager will issue a bingo manager's license if:
