Every motor vehicle licensed by the Board of Health of the Borough
of Edgewater to handle food which solicits and makes retail sales
from said motor vehicle shall obtain a license and placard from the
Secretary of the Board of Health.
A person, corporation or organization shall apply for said license and placard with the Secretary of the Board of Health upon forms approved by the Board of Health. The fee for said license and placard shall be as set forth for mobile food vendors in § 479-3.
The placard shall be issued within 30 days after passage of
this article and thereafter shall be renewed at the same time, and
shall run for the same period as does the license to handle food which
covers the same motor vehicle.
The placard issued by the Secretary of the Board of Health shall
be permanently and prominently exhibited on the motor vehicle licensed
to handle food which solicits and makes retail sales from said motor
vehicle in such a manner that it may be observed by a person outside
the vehicle at all times the vehicle is storing, holding, transporting,
loading, unloading or in any way involved with the handling of food.
A placard shall be valid only for the vehicle for which it is
issued, and if any person, corporation or organization has more than
one motor vehicle licensed to handle food in the Borough of Edgewater,
that person, corporation or organization shall obtain a separate placard
and license for each vehicle which shall handle food in the Borough
of Edgewater.
Placards are not transferable unless the motor vehicle for which
the placard is issued is no longer in service. If the motor vehicle
for which the placard is issued is no longer in the service of the
licensee, upon proof to the Secretary of the Board of Health that
said placard has been destroyed or returned to the Secretary of the
Board of Health, the Secretary shall issue a placard to be used solely
on the vehicle that is to replace the vehicle that is no longer in
service to the licensee. There shall be a charge of $1 for a replacement
placard.
If any motor vehicle to which a placard is issued is temporarily
out of service, another motor vehicle may be utilized by the licensee,
provided that the Secretary of the Board of Health is notified on
the first business day of the fact that the motor vehicle to which
the placard was issued is out of service, the reason for its being
out of service and the make and license number of the temporary vehicle.
A temporary vehicle shall not be used for more than 20 days without
obtaining a placard for said replacement vehicle.
The obtaining of a placard does not license a motor vehicle
to handle food and is to be issued at the same time or after the time
a license to handle food is obtained.
