An Ordinance amending Chapter 5, “AMUSEMENTS,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Section 5-1105, “LOCATIONS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED,” by repealing said section in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Section 5-1105 entitled “RESTRICTIONS ON LOCATIONS AND ADVERTISING,” relating to the same subject matter.
Explanation: The City adopted Council Bill/General Ordinance 3019-2012 in July, 2012, to allow video gaming terminals in licensed establishments within the City and to allow the City and eligible establishments to pursue video gaming as a potential revenue source. The proliferation of video gaming establishments in the City has caused concern by City officials and residents due to the deleterious effects of gambling. The City Council seeks to counter the negative effects of gambling by limiting the advertising of such establishments so as not to entice people to these establishments any more than they already are or may be, while still allowing video gaming device operators the opportunity to continue their businesses. This ordinance will set forth the restrictions for advertising by and for all video gaming establishments that possess a City of Moline Class K liquor license.
