Sec. 5-18A.03. Qualified applicants.

(b) The request shall be in a form prescribed by the City Manager or designee and shall be submitted at the same time as an application for a traditional bingo permit pursuant to § 5-18.03. The request shall be accompanied by any information reasonably necessary to permit the City Manager or designee to determine that the proposed remote caller bingo operation and games will be conducted in compliance with this chapter and all applicable state laws and regulations. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection (b), any organization possessing a valid traditional bingo permit issued pursuant to Chapter 18 of Title 5 of this Code may submit a request for authorization to conduct remote caller bingo games at any time. However, such requests shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable filing fee in an amount determined by resolution of the Council from time to time.

The Council expressly reserves the right to amend or repeal this chapter at any time. If this chapter is repealed, all approvals granted pursuant to this chapter shall cease to be effective for any purpose on the effective date of the repealing legislation. (§ 2, Ord. 2918, eff.

A violation of any one or more of those conditions or provisions shall constitute cause for the revocation of the organization’s approval or traditional bingo permit issued pursuant to Chapter 18 of Title 5 of this Code.
