§ 5.96.050. License fee.

The Tax Collector shall deliver the License to the Licensee upon receipt of the fee which must be paid in accordance with the following schedule:

Distributor's License	$100.00 per year
Operator's License	$60.00 per year for each pinball machine

 

Fees for the Licenses issued after the first day of February in any calendar year shall be prorated so that the Licensee shall pay only a proportionate amount of the annual fee in accordance with the amount of time remaining in such year.

If, during the term of the License, the operator shall substitute a pinball machine for a pinball machine already listed in the License, the operator shall pay a fee of Five Dollars ($5) for each pinball machine substituted. No pinball machine shall be substituted for another pinball machine listed in the License Application until the operator or distributor has first:

(a)

Notified the Tax Collector of the proposed substitution on a form provided for that purpose, describing the substituted device; and

(b)

Paid the fee for the substitution hereinabove provided.

No approval of a substitution of a pinball machine shall be given unless the Sheriff has investigated said device to determine if it conforms with the provisions of this ordinance, and the Sheriff has signified in writing his approval thereof to the Tax Collector. No other investigation shall be required. The Sheriff shall also insert the number of the new machine upon the operator's License. The approval shall expire on the same date as the License. Substituted machines shall be numbered by the Applicant as provided in Section 5.96.040.
