[Adopted 7-11-2001 by Ord. No. 2001-02]
The purpose of this article is to promote the health, safety,
prosperity, and general welfare of the Town of West Bend by the exercise
of the powers granted to the Town Board under the provisions of § 60.22,
Wis. Stats.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
collect refuse and/or recyclables in the Town of West Bend without
having first entered into a "licensing agreement" with the Town Board
of the Town of West Bend.
The licensing agreement shall be in such form and contain such
requirements as determined from time to time by the Town Board. Licensing
agreements shall be the same for all entities of which such an agreement
is required.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
Any licensing agreement under this article shall be reviewed
annually by the Town Board. Licensing agreements shall run for the
calendar year. Such agreements may be renewed only if the Town Board
determines that the applicant has in all respects complied with the
terms and conditions upon which such license agreement was issued,
and that the continuation of such license agreement would be in the
public's interest. The Town Board shall determine from time to time
the fee to be paid by the applicant as a condition precedent to the
approval of the annual licensing agreement.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
Any person, firm, corporation, or municipality found to be in
violation of this article shall pay a forfeiture of $100 for the first
offense, $250 for the second offense, and $500 for the third offense,
together with the costs and expenses of prosecution and the costs
and expenses of collecting the damages, plus immediate revocation
of their licensing agreement by the Town Board. Each day that a violation
exists shall be deemed a separate violation.
The provisions of this article shall be deemed severable and
it is expressly declared that the Town Board would have passed the
other provisions of this article, irrespective of whether or not one
or more provisions may be declared invalid and if any provision of
this article or the application thereof to any person or circumstances
is held invalid, the remainder of the article and the application
of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be
effected thereby.
This article shall take effect from and after its passage and
publication as provided by law.
