Sec. 10-105Additional ground to revoke or suspend a license to operate a pool room, game room, billiard hall or internet cafe
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.
In addition to revocation or suspension of a license for the reasons herein before specified, the license to operate a pool room, game room, billiard hall, or internet cafe may be further revoked for violation of any of the following standards:
(1) In the event the licensee permits public drunkenness and disorderly conduct among his patrons or employees after warning by the city officer, such failure to act shall be grounds for revocation or suspension.
(2) In the event the licensee receives notice from police or county officials of any violations of any other than the above, without correction thereof, such failure to act shall be grounds for automatic revocation.
(3) In the event of the violation of any state or federal laws by the licensee, his agents, or servants on the premises, said violations shall be grounds for revocation or suspension.
(4) In the event of conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude by the licensee off premises, said conviction shall be grounds for revocation or suspension.
