A. The chief of police, or the chief’s designee, may refuse to issue a permit if it is determined that the operation of a bingo game would be injurious to the health, safety and morals of the people of the city; that the apparent mode of operation of the bingo game would not be in compliance with state or federal law, or with this code; that the apparent mode of operation of the bingo game would constitute a fire, health or sanitary hazard, or would not be in compliance with building or zoning regulations, requirements and ordinances; that any person to be operating or assisting in the operation of a bingo game has been convicted within the past five years of a crime involving lotteries, gambling, larceny, perjury, bribery, extortion, fraud or similar crimes involving moral turpitude; that there has been a willful misstatement of fact in an application or report filed hereunder, or a negligent failure to file any report required hereunder; or that there has been any other violation of any provision of this chapter.

B. If the permit is approved, the chief, or the chief’s designee, may include restrictions and conditions in the permit deemed reasonable and necessary under the circumstances to ensure compliance with the purpose and intent of this chapter. Any organization whose license is finally revoked may not again apply for a license to conduct bingo games in the city of Marina for a period of one year from the day of revocation.
