A.
The true name of the applicant, together with the names of all persons directly or indirectly interested in the conducting of said business, including all members of any firm or partnership. A corporate applicant shall list officers, directors and principle owners, including all owners of ten percent or more of the corporate stock.
B.
Whether the applicant has at any time been convicted of a felony, or offense involving moral turpitude, or has been convicted of any narcotics violation or violation of any gambling laws or ordinances.
C.
Whether or not any permit or license heretofore granted to applicant to engage in any business or do any act within the city has been revoked or denied, and if so, the circumstances surrounding the revocation or denial.
D.
The location and description of the premises upon which the applicant proposed to conduct a cardroom, and a statement of the property interest of the applicant in the premises as owner, lessee or otherwise.
E.
The number of card tables which will be operated on the premises.
F.
Such further information bearing on the identity and character of the applicant or the use, location or condition of the premises as the city council may require.
The following additional information must be submitted with each application for a license:
A.
The true and complete names and addresses of the owners of the cardroom club premises, and, if different, of any persons leasing or renting the premises to the cardroom premises, and a copy of the lease or other rental agreement.
B.
A complete copy of all registration and re-registration applications (and exhibits) filed by the applicant and all persons who have financial interests in the applicant under the Gaming Control Act, and a copy of a current gaming and registration certificate issued to the applicant and such persons, each of which shall be declared by the registrant under penalty of perjury to be a complete copy.
C.
The names, addresses, physical descriptions and birth dates of all persons who are to be employed as managers in the cardroom together with two full face photographs of 1" by 1" exact size, of each such person taken within 60 days prior to the filing of the application, in the manner and form determined by the chief of police.
The application filed above shall be made by the applicant or applicants under penalty of perjury. The chief of police or city council, or both, may request such further and additional information of the applicant, the owner of the premises in which the cardroom will be located and the lessee, if any, of the premises in which the cardroom will be located as is deemed necessary to ensure that the cardroom will be operated in a manner consistent with the law and the provisions of city ordinances and regulations.
As used herein, "manager" means anyone who represents the interest of the licensee in the operation of a cardroom whose duties include but may not be limited to: (1) the making or changing a policy; (2) approving credit; (3) hiring or firing of employees; or (4) generally exercising independent judgment in the operation of the cardroom. A manager need not have a financial interest in the cardroom. A manager must be an employee of the licensee, or if not an employee, then a person having a financial interest as a partner, a shareholder, or trustee of the cardroom (but not otherwise). Each licensed cardroom must have at least one designated manager.
