All electrical installations shall be made in conformity with
the requirements of the National Electrical Code, except where the
provisions of this Code shall prescribe otherwise. The requirements
of the National Electrical Code shall be those known as "National
Fire Association Pamphlet No. 70," as approved and adopted by the
American Standards Association, or any then-current subsequent version
thereof.
The Board of Trustees may designate one or more qualified persons
or entities as the duly appointed electrical inspector(s) of the Village
to make inspections of all electrical installations and to approve
or disapprove the same. Such designations shall be for a period of
up to two official years or until a successor designation is made,
whichever is later. The cost or expenses for any such inspection may
be established by the Village, but such cost or expense shall be paid
by or on behalf of the owner of the property where the installation
is made, and in no event shall such cost or expense be a charge against
the Village.
It shall be unlawful for any person without a license previously
issued by the Village to such person or to his or her employer or
supervisor to inspect any electrical wiring or electrical fixtures
or equipment in or upon any property, buildings or structures located
in whole or in part within the Village, other than property, buildings
or structures owned by such person.
Evidence of general liability insurance, professional liability
insurance, automobile liability, worker's compensation and disability,
and like standards are required prior to the issuance of a license.
The fee for a license required by this chapter and any renewal
thereof shall be payable to the Village and shall be in such amount
as provided for by resolution of the Village. The Fee Schedule is
on file in the Village offices.
Every license required by this chapter shall be in writing and
shall be issued by the Village Clerk.
A license issued under this chapter shall be effective for a
period of two years from its effective date.
Every license issued under this chapter shall be effective for
a period not to exceed two years and all expirations shall fall on
December 31 of the calendar year.
Should the requirements above not be met at any time, the electrical
contractor shall immediately cease performing inspections. Before
resuming inspections, the electrical contractor shall be subject to
a hearing to determine if it complies with the requirements to continue
as an approved electrical inspector.
