(A) The Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act (ILCS Ch. 225, Act 335) is adopted by reference.
(B) Permit. The City Clerk shall issue a permit to any person acting as a roofing contractor within the City of Kewanee. The form of the permit shall be determined by the City Manager and at a minimum shall contain the roofing contractor's name, address, telephone number, State of Illinois Certified roofing license number, the date of issue, and the fee paid.
(C) Qualification. Per ILCS Ch. 225, Act 335, § 11(7) the only qualification that is required by the City Clerk prior to issuing a permit is the exhibition of current evidence of a State of Illinois roofing license.
(D) Permit fee. To conform with the State of Illinois licensing fee, the City of Kewanee permit fee will be due biennially. If an applicant for an initial permit applies for the permit during the second half of the biennial period, the applicant shall only be required to pay one-half of the amount for the biennial permit fee. The biennial permit fee is $30, which is due on the last day of every odd numbered year during the month of July, but no later than July 30. Permits renewed after the due date shall be assessed a 10% late fee.
(E) Like the state statute, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require a person who performs roofing or waterproofing work to their own property, or for no consideration, to obtain a permit as a roofing contractor. This applies to city employees who are conducting roofing work as city employees on city property.
(F) Penalty. Any person, or firm, who performs any roofing work contrary to the provisions of this section; or any person or firm, who performs any roofing work without first obtaining a license from the State of Illinois as specified in ILCS Ch. 225, Act 335; or any person or firm who performs any roofing work without having first obtained a City of Kewanee Roofing Contractor Permit, shall be deemed to be in violation of the provisions of this section. Violations of this section are punishable under § 10.99 of this code.
