§10-201 BILLIARD HALLS, POOL HALLS, AND BOWLING ALLEYS;
REGULATION.
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, to
own, maintain, or operate any billiard hall, pool hall, or bowling
alley for profit without having first obtained a license from the
Municipality. Any person desiring a license shall file a written
application with the Municipal Clerk upon an application form
supplied by the Municipality. Said application form shall contain
such information and documents, or copies thereof, as the Governing
Body deems necessary to determine whether to grant or reject the
application. Upon the determination that the granting of the
license would be beneficial to the Municipality, the Governing Body
shall immediately direct the Municipal Clerk to issue the license
to the applicant upon the payment of a fee set by resolution of the
Governing Body. Said license shall be subject to revocation at any
time for good and sufficient cause by the Governing Body upon the
issuance of proper notice, and a hearing if the licensee should
make such a request. Any person or persons so licensed shall be
subject to any bond, fees, or other rules and regulations as may be
set by resolution of the Governing Body for the benefit of the
Municipality. The certificate of license shall recite the name of
the applicant, the date issued, the number of pool tables, billiard
tables, or bowling alleys, together with the occupation tax paid
for each table or alley. The license shall terminate at the end of
the Municipal fiscal year during which it is granted or issued, and
shall not be assignable. (Ref. 17-120, 17-524 RS Neb.)
§10-202 BINGO; REGULATION. Games of bingo shall be conducted
within the Municipality in accordance with all laws of the
Municipality and the State of Nebraska if the said game of bingo is
played for or involves profit or gain. Any association duly
licensed by the State of Nebraska to conduct the game of bingo
shall obtain a written permit from the Governing Body before
commencing operation of said game. Application shall be made to
the Municipal Clerk for such permit. Said application form shall
contain such information and documents or copies thereof as the
Governing Body deems necessary to determine whether to grant or
reject the application. Upon the determination that granting the
application would be proper, the Governing Body shall immediately
direct the Municipal Clerk to issue the said license to the
applicant upon the payment of an annual permit fee of twenty
dollars ($20.00). Said license shall be subject to revocation at
any time for good cause. Any person or persons, so licensed, shall
be subject to any other fees, rules, and regulations which the
Governing Body may designate. All permits so issued will
automatically expire on September thirtieth (30th), following its
issuance or renewal. The fee for each renewal unless otherwise
prescribed shall be in the sum of twenty dollars ($20.00). Said
fee shall be credited to the General Fund. The permit shall be on
display at any place where a game of bingo is conducted. (Ref. 9-
