[Adopted 3-18-2024 ATM by Art. 31]
Sales occurring subsequent to a declaration of an emergency adversely affecting the availability and/or quality of drinking water to Lexington residents by the Emergency Management Director or other duly authorized Town, Commonwealth or United States official shall be exempt from this bylaw until seven days after such declaration has ended.
Enforcement of this bylaw shall be the responsibility of the Town Manager or their designee. The Town Manager shall determine the inspection process to be followed, incorporating the process into other Town duties as appropriate. Any establishment conducting sales in violation of this bylaw shall be subject to a noncriminal disposition fine as specified in the regulations for enforcement of town bylaws under MGL c. 40, § 21D, as specified in § 1-6B of the Code of the Town of Lexington. Any such fines shall be paid to the Town of Lexington.
If the Town Manager determines that the cost of implementing and enforcing this bylaw has become unreasonable, then the Town Manager shall so advise the Select Board and the Select Board shall conduct a public hearing to inform the citizens of such costs. Subsequent to the public hearing, the Select Board may continue this bylaw in force or may suspend it permanently or for such length of time as they may determine.
