No person shall engage in business as a water conditioning contractor without first obtaining a license to do so from the Community Development Department. The license shall not be issued by the Board unless the applicant first shall have passed the examination for water conditioning installer and shall have a regularly established place of business wherein the applicant shall have posted in a conspicuous place the license issued hereunder; provided, that the contractor has in full force and effect at all times a bond as set by resolution in favor of the city, with sufficient sureties to be approved by the City Council. The bond is to be for the protection of the city against loss or damage by reason of carelessness or negligence of the licensee to execute and protect any and all work performed by the licensee or under the licensee’s supervision while the license is in effect. In case of any firm of more than one person or partnership engaged in the business of installing water conditioning appliances, only one of the persons shall be required to qualify for a contractor’s license. In case of corporations, only one officer shall be required to qualify for the license.
