(A) The Building Commissioner, upon proper application and for good cause shown, shall have the power to issue a temporary contractors license to those desiring to do contracting work in the city in circumstances where an individual interested in performing contracting work in the city or a resident of the city, would suffer economic injury by delay of a regular meeting of the Building Contractors Board, or when contracting services are necessary in an emergency situation when delay until a regular Building Contractors Board meeting would endanger the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city.
(B) Any temporary contracting license is expressly limited to the individual’s contracting services necessary for the specific work in question. Where an individual, partnership or corporation has been granted a temporary contractors license, the party shall appear at the next Building Contractors Board meeting if the job for which they obtained their license is still in progress, and shall submit the proper application for a contractors license and shall further submit to the regular examination for a contractors license, where the party seeks to perform contracting services.
(C) An applicant for a temporary contractors license shall pay an application fee of $250.
(D) Any person aggrieved by the grant or denial of a temporary contractors license may appeal the decision of the Building Commissioner to the Building Contractors Board, which may affirm or deny granting of the license. From any decision of the Building Contractors Board concerning the Building Commissioner’s grant or denial of a temporary contractors license, any aggrieved person will be entitled to appeal to the Common Council, which shall have the right to affirm, alter, amend or reverse the decision of the Board.
