[Amended 12-21-1994 by Ord. No. 1646]
No person, either as principal or agent, shall
conduct or hold any public entertainment in the City of Greensburg
without first having obtained a license therefor from the Building
and Fire Code Enforcement Department. Such license shall state the
type of public entertainment for which it is proposed to be granted
and the term for which it is to be in effect. No person, under any
such license, shall conduct or hold any type of public entertainment
other than the type designated upon the license; nor shall any person
conduct any public entertainment under any such license except at
the place designated upon the license; nor shall any person, under
any such license, continue to conduct any public entertainment after
the expiration or revocation of any such license or during the suspension
thereof, provided that in any instance, the Building and Fire Code
Enforcement Department may defer or refuse to grant any such license
pending an investigation under the direction of the Mayor to determine
whether such public entertainment or the place where the same is proposed
to be held shall constitute a threat to the health, safety or morals
of the public.
[Amended 12-9-1991 by Ord. No. 1510; 12-21-1994 by Ord.
No. 1646]
The fee for every license to be issued under
this chapter shall be as set by the City Council, provided that the
proprietor or lessee of any hall, auditorium, theater or motion picture
theater may, instead of obtaining a daily license for every public
entertainment held therein, obtain a yearly license upon payment of
a fee as set by the City Council. Such yearly licenses shall be issued
upon a calendar-year basis, and no reduction shall be granted for
any such license applied for or issued after the beginning of any
calendar year, except that any license issued after June 30 of any
year shall be granted upon payment of a fee as set by the City Council.
All license fees payable under this chapter shall be for the use of
the city to recompense or partially recompense the city for expenses
incurred in issuance of such licenses and for additional expenses
incurred by the City by virtue of the presence of such public entertainment,
including inspections, investigations and traffic control. The holder
of every such license shall keep the same at the place where the public
entertainment authorized thereby is held and shall exhibit the same,
upon request, to any member of the Police Department or any officer
of the city.
[Amended 12-21-1994 by Ord. No. 1646]
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions
of this chapter shall, for every such violation, upon conviction thereof
before any District Justice, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more
than six hundred dollars ($600.) or be imprisoned for a period not
exceeding ninety (90) days, or both such fine and imprisonment, provided
that each day that any violation shall exist or continue to exist
shall constitute a separate violation.
