[Ord. No. 96-10, § II, 9-9-1996]
It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct at retail within
the City any sale of goods, wares or merchandise under the circumstances
stated in this section without a closing out sales license. Such license
must be obtained prior to conducting, at retail, a sale or advertise
for sale any goods, wares or merchandise represented in any manner
to be the goods, wares or merchandise of a bankrupt, insolvent, assignee,
liquidator, adjuster, administrator, trustee, executor, receiver,
wholesaler, jobber, manufacturer or of any business that is in liquidation,
that is closing out or going out of business, or department thereof,
that has lost its lease or has been or is being forced out of business,
that is disposing of stock on hand because of damage by fire, water,
smoke or other cause, or that for any reason is forced by circumstances
to dispose of stock on hand. The applicant is hereby required to obtain
such license before it shall conduct a sale of, or advertise goods,
wares and merchandise for sale if such advertisement or representation,
expressed or implied, tends to lead the public to believe that such
sale is a selling out or closing out of the business conducting the
sale.
[Ord. No. 96-10, § II, 9-9-1996]
Applications shall be made on forms provided by the City Clerk
and specify the name and address of the applicant and if an agent,
the person for whom he is acting as agent, the place at which the
proposed sale is to continue, which time shall not exceed 60 successive
days, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, from the date of the issuance
of the license.
[Ord. No. 96-10, § II, 9-9-1996]
The City may grant an extension of a closing out sale license
if a written application for such extension is filed with the City
Clerk. Such extension, if granted, shall not exceed 30 days from the
expiration of the original license.
[Ord. No. 96-10, § II, 9-9-1996]
The provisions of this article shall not apply to sales under
judicial process.
