§ 21-196. Permit required.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business of operating a teenage dance hall or teenage nightclub without first having procured a permit so to do in accordance with this article, which permit shall be obtained from the city manager on satisfactory evidence that the applicant is a proper person to receive the same. Such permit may be revoked at any time by the city manager upon a finding that the operation of the teenage dance hall or teenage nightclub contravenes public safety, peace, and order, becomes public nuisance, disturbs the peace or upon the failure of the permit holder to comply with the requirements of this article. A permit to operate a teenage dance hall or teenage nightclub shall be nonassignable and nontransferable and valid until revoked.

(b)

There shall be an appeal to city council both from the action of the city manager in refusing to grant such a permit to the person applying therefor and from the action of the city manager in revoking such a permit after the granting of the same. Such appeal shall be by written application directed to city council and delivered to the city clerk within ten (10) days from the refusal of the city manager to grant such permit or within ten (10) days from his revocation of the same, as the case may be. In event of an appeal to city council, the decision of the city manager shall not be reversed unless city council be of the opinion that the city manager acted arbitrarily in the matter or without sufficient or satisfactory evidence.
