No person shall conduct or participate in a social game in a private business, private club or place of public accommodation unless said business, club or place of public accommodation has first obtained a license therefor for each separate location at which social games are to be conducted. A person desiring to obtain a license shall make application at the office of the city recorder on a blank provided for that purpose. The application shall be made and signed by the person desiring to secure such license, and all applications required to be filed by this chapter shall be referred to the chief of police or other law enforcement agency for investigation into the qualifications of the applicant and then submitted with the recommendation of the investigating office to the council. If the application for said license be granted and approved by the council, the city recorder shall issue the proper license upon the receipt of the license fee herein specified. If the application for such license is disapproved by the council, the city recorder shall at once notify the applicant in writing. The applicant may appeal to the council and demand a hearing at its next regular meeting thereafter, and the council shall proceed to hear and determine said appeal. Its decision in that respect shall be final. (Ord. 248 § 2, 1979; Ord. 199B § 2, 1974).
