No operator shall maintain, conduct, manage or operate any vending machine unless a permit for such machine has been issued by a health officer and unless such permit is valid and unexpired. The applicant for a permit shall designate in writing the products to be vended, and permits shall be valid only for those products listed on the permit. Unless it appears to a health officer that the vending machine will at all times be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, and that all products of the machine will reach the consumer in a clean and wholesome condition, he shall deny the application for the permit. If the permit is granted, the operator shall be responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the vending machine and for complying with the requirements of this chapter and of state laws and regulations in connection therewith. The name and address of the operator shall be posted conspicuously on the vending machine. (Ord. 3432 § 3, 2018; Ord. 855 § 2; prior code § 15.70).
