Any natural person, firm, association, partnership or corporation,
either singly or acting in concert, who displays for public patronage
or keeps for operation any milk or other perishable food products'
self-service, coin-operated dispenser shall be required to obtain
an annual license.
It is hereby declared that this article is for the purpose of
regulation and shall nowise affect any other fees as now provided
for in any other ordinance in the Borough of Lodi, but shall be in
addition thereto.
All licenses shall be for a one-year term, commencing on the first day of January of the year in which they are issued, and all licenses shall expire on the 31st day of December in the year of issue. There shall be no proportional abatement or proportional apportionment of the license fee for any license issued after January 1 in any year; but instead each applicant for a license shall be required to pay the full annual license fee as provided in Chapter 235, Art. IV, Fee Schedule.
Applicants for a license shall be required to pay in advance
the aforesaid license fee and file with the Borough Clerk, on forms
to be furnished by said Clerk, a separate written application for
each dispensing device. Application forms for such license shall set
forth the name and address of the applicant, location of the dispensing
device or devices, a list of the products to be dispensed and the
type or types of dispensing device to be used. Prior to the issuance
of a license:
A.
The Health Officer of the Borough of Lodi shall certify that the
granting of a license at the location applied for will not violate
any health regulations or ordinance relating to the product or products
to be dispensed in the Borough of Lodi, or any laws of the State of
New Jersey having application thereto, and further, that said machine
has been inspected by authorized representatives of the Health Officer
and is unobjectionable from the viewpoint of health and sanitation.
B.
The Chief of the Police Department of the Borough of Lodi shall certify
that the placing of said coin-operated dispensing device at the location
mentioned in the application is unobjectionable from the viewpoint
of welfare, safety or traffic consideration.
Said coin-operated dispensing device used for the sale of milk
or other perishable food products shall have a refrigeration unit
of sufficient capacity so as to keep the entire contents at a temperature
of 50° F. or below. Said dispensing device shall be equipped with
an automatic cutoff device that locks the dispensing device when the
temperature of the interior, where products are stored, goes over
50° F., and that also refuses patrons' coins. Keys to said
machine shall be available in the office of the Health Officer.
Any natural person, firm, association, partnership or corporation
violating any of the provisions hereof, in addition to the revocation
of his or its license, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $500
or imprisonment not exceeding 90 days, or both. Each day such violation
is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense.
