Sec. 10-103Enforcement
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers two kinds of businesses. Article II regulates adult entertainment businesses (strip clubs, adult bookstores and theaters, and similar) — where they can locate, their hours, permits for owners and workers, and a ban on alcohol. Article III sets licensing and operating rules for pool rooms, game rooms, billiard halls and internet cafes, including hours, rules for minors, and a ban on gambling.
It shall be the duty of the police or other constituted authorities to inspect all public pool rooms, game rooms, billiard halls, and internet cafes in the city for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the provisions of this article are being observed; and it shall be the duty of such officer to report all violations promptly to the city attorney and furnish the city attorney such information and assistance as is necessary for the prosecution of such violations. Whenever the state shall revoke any permit or license held by the licensee, the license shall thereupon be automatically revoked without any action of the city council.
