[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of
the City of Vineland as indicated in article histories. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 8-14-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-64]
A.Â
Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:47-1.1, the City Council is
the issuing authority for licenses to perform certain games of chance
entitled raffle and bingo licenses;
B.Â
In as much as formal action of the City Council regularly
meets biweekly, and therefore requests for raffle and bingo licenses
which are typically time-sensitive may not be considered and granted
prior to the date set for the event;
C.Â
N.J.A.C. 13:47-1.1 authorizes City Council to designate
another individual as the issuing authority to approve and grant raffle
and bingo licenses; and
D.Â
City Council finds it in the best interest of the
City to allow an individual to issue said licenses, thereby avoiding
the necessity of special sessions of City Council to consider such
matters.
E.Â
Games of
chance may be conducted in the City of Vineland on the first day of
the week commonly known and designated as "Sunday," in accordance
with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:8-31 and N.J.S.A. 5:8-58, as may
be permitted by N.J.S.A. 5:8-24 et seq. and N.J.S.A. 5:8-50 et seq.,
provided that the applicant for the license to conduct such game otherwise
qualifies under the provisions of the aforementioned statutes of the
State of New Jersey and the rules and regulations of the Legalized
Games of Chance Control Commission and, specifically, provided that
the organization conducting the games is a charitable, religious or
other organization specifically qualifying under the provisions of
the aforementioned statutes.
[Added 1-11-2011 by Ord. No. 2010-66]
The Municipal Clerk is designated as the issuing
authority to approve and grant raffle and bingo licenses subject to
compliance with N.J.A.C. 13:47-1 et seq.
