The legislative purpose of this chapter is to:
Promote the public health, morals, safety and welfare of the residents of the Village of LeRoy by enacting a chapter to control the use of amusement games to protect not only the participants in such amusement games, but the entire village community.
See that all village laws are obeyed.
Minimize the potential for congestion in areas adjoining game rooms and other premises in which amusement games are located and to minimize disruption of and interference with surrounding businesses and the public ways.
No person shall maintain or operate a machine in the village unless it is licensed under this chapter.
Licenses shall be issued according to the class of the premises where the machine is located.
Class One: a game room.
Class Two: any other premises where an amusement game is located.
An application for a license shall be made to the Village Clerk on forms containing information prescribed by said Clerk, including:
The name and address of the applicant, age and place of birth.
Prior convictions of applicant, if any, to include felony, misdemeanor, disorderly conduct and harassment.
The place where amusement game or games is to be displayed or operated and a description of any other business conducted at that place.
A description of the machine to be covered by the license, setting forth its mechanical or electronic features.
Upon receipt of an application for a license, the Village Clerk shall refer it to:
The Zoning Enforcement Officer, to determine whether the premises comply with all applicable laws, local laws, rules and regulations. For that purpose, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall have the right to enter upon and inspect the premises during the normal business hours.
The Chief of Police, to cause an investigation to be made of the background of the owner and the operator of the amusement game(s) or game room.
No license shall be issued to any applicant unless he shall be over 21 years of age.
No applicant shall be denied a license to operate an amusement game solely upon the basis of a prior criminal conviction, unless there exists a direct relationship between the criminal record and fitness for the license sought, or the issuance of the license would involve an unreasonable risk to property or to the safety or welfare of the general public.
Application of corporation, partnership or association. Any such application shall set forth the names of all partners and their ownership interests in the case of an association; the names of all directors, officers and holders of greater than 10% of outstanding stock issued in the case of a corporation. All such individuals listed above shall indicate all convictions of criminal offenses, as defined in § 56-4B.
In evaluating the fitness of an applicant previously convicted of a criminal offense, the mandates of Article 23-A of the Correction Law shall be observed.
After review of the application has been completed, the Village Clerk shall forward it with his report, together with the recommendations of the Zoning Enforcement Officer and Chief of Police, if any, to the Village Board for its review and recommendations. In its review, the Village Board shall determine whether the granting of a license would be detrimental to the public health, morals, safety or welfare. If that determination is in the affirmative, the Board shall deny the application; if that determination is in the negative, the Board shall grant the license.
After approval by the Village Board, the Village Clerk shall issue a license upon payment of the license fee. The license shall state:
The number of amusement games permitted in the game room or other premises.
The maximum number of persons permitted in the licensed premises at any time.
Any other conditions or restrictions imposed by the Village Board.
The class thereof, according to the premises licensed.
If the Village Board denies the application or approves it with limits or conditions not satisfactory to the applicant, and upon written appeal by the applicant within 10 days of notification of the Village Board's decision, the Village Clerk shall schedule a public hearing for the first Village Board meeting for which five days' notice published in the official newspaper can be given, and after such hearing the Village Board shall reconsider the same and may amend or modify its decision.

The annual fee for a Class One license shall be $75, plus $10 per year for each machine.

The license or licenses herein provided for shall be posted permanently or conspicuously at the premises wherein the machine is to be operated or retained to be operated.
