Analysis
Licensing code provisions currently require that operators of premises on which amusement machines such as video games and pin-ball machines are operated, or on which phonograph machines are operated, must post a premises license and must also apply a permit tag for each authorized machine.

This ordinance eliminates requirements that amusement machines and phonographs be individually permitted and identified with individual tags.

In addition, this ordinance:

1. Requires licensed distributors of amusement machines and phonographs to file disclosures with the city clerk identifying the numbers of machines placed with any premises.

2. Increases the fee for a videogame center license from $450 to $575.

3. Increases the fee for an amusement machine premises license and for a phonograph premises permit from $55 to $100.

4. Increases the fee for an amusement machine distributor license and for a phonograph distributor license from $700 to $850.
