[Amended 4-26-2011 by L.L. No. 8-2011]
Whenever pursuant to any law, rule, regulation
or ordinance it is provided that no one except a master electrician
shall engage in installing, altering or repairing electrical wiring,
apparatus, fittings, appliances or equipment, it shall be a violation
hereof for any person not licensed as herein provided to perform
any of the work thus specified.
All applications for licenses and for endorsements
thereon shall be made to the Village Clerk in such form as he may
prescribe. All licenses shall be issued by the Mayor and countersigned
by the Village Clerk.
Any license may be revoked or suspended, for
good cause shown, by the Board of Trustees, upon recommendation of
the License Board, after specific charge has been made, a fair hearing
held and a finding of the unfitness of the licensee made.
The Board of Trustees hereby appoints a Master
Electricians' License Board in the person of the Chief Engineer of
the village or his duly appointed deputy and which shall be vested
with the following powers:
A. By examination and investigation of their qualifications,
to determine the fitness of applicants for master electrician's license
and to recommend to the Mayor the issuance of a license to those found
worthy and well qualified.
B. For good cause shown, to recommend to the Board of Trustees the suspension or revocation of any license issued under the provisions of §
160-2A hereof.
C. To take proper action with respect to any matter referred
to it under the terms of this ordinance or of the rules and regulations
of the Electric Light Department of the Village of Rockville Centre.
Applicants for licenses under §
160-2A shall file their applications with the Village Clerk, who shall refer them to the License Board for determination. The Board shall, with reasonable expedition, conduct its examinations and investigations and report to the Mayor its recommendations based upon candidates' qualifications and fitness. The Board may act on its own initiative or upon complaint when charges reflecting upon the worthiness of a licensee are made.
