This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as the "Amusement Devices Law of the Village of Waterloo, New York."
The owner, operator or lessee of any such jukebox,
shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device, or his or her duly
authorized agent, who desires to distribute or place any such jukebox,
shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device for use shall make
application in duplicate to the licensing officer for such permission
upon blanks to be furnished by the Village Clerk-Treasurer, giving
the name and address of the applicant, date and place of birth, a
detailed description of the mechanical or other features of the device,
the name and address of the person having the responsible charge of
the premises upon which the device is proposed to be located for use
and the location of said premises by street and number.
The licensing officer, upon approval of such
application, shall issue a license to the applicant to place and permit
the use upon the premises designated in the application of the jukebox,
shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device described therein
and in the number therein specified. A license shall be procured for
each such jukebox, shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device
so placed, and a suitable card bearing the number and expiration date
shall be obtained from the Village Clerk-Treasurer and securely attached
to the licensed article.
Any such license and card may be transferred
from one jukebox, shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device
to another similar jukebox, shuffleboard or device at the same locality.
Not more than one such jukebox, shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement
device shall be operated under one license and card. All licenses
and cards shall be restricted in use to the premises designated in
the application for each license.
[Amended 7-12-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]
The licensing officer shall not issue any license
hereunder for any jukebox, shuffleboard or coin-controlled device
unless the fee as established from time to time by resolution of the
Board of Trustees has been paid to the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
[Amended 3-8-1993 by L.L. No. 4-1993]
Every license and card issued under this chapter shall expire on December 31 next following the date of issuance. The fee for such license granted after July 1 of any year shall be 1/2 of the amounts set forth in §
74-8.
No license shall be issued to any applicant
unless he or she shall be 18 years of age or over.
Every license and card issued under this chapter
is subject to the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to revoke
the same should the licensee directly or indirectly permit the operation
of any jukebox, shuffleboard or coin-controlled amusement device contrary
to the provisions of this chapter or other provisions of this Municipal
Code or the laws of the State of New York. Any license may be revoked
by the licensing officer after written notice to the licensee, which
notice shall specify the specific violation with which the licensee
is charged, if after a hearing the licensee is found to be guilty
of any such violation. Ten days' notice of hearing shall be given
the licensee. At such hearing, the licensee and his or her attorney
may present and submit evidence in his or her defense.
In addition to the revocation of license authorized by §
74-11, any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall be punished as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, §
1-6.
