(A) Required. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a public pool, spa, or interactive water feature in the city without a current and valid pool, spa or interactive water feature permit. The provisions of this subchapter shall not apply to a private residential pool.
(B) Posting. A valid permit issued to a public swimming pool, spa or interactive water feature shall be posted on site in a conspicuous location visible to the users of the swimming pool, spa or interactive water feature.
(C) Nontransferable (change of ownership). Permits issued under the provisions of this chapter are not transferable. Upon change of ownership of a business, the new business owner will be required to meet current standards as defined in city ordinances and state law before a permit will be issued. The new owner shall notify the regulatory authority within ten days after assuming ownership of the pool, spa, or interactive water feature. There will be a change of ownership fees charged in an amount as set forth in the Department of Regulatory Compliance fee schedule.
(D) Multiple permits. A separate permit shall be required for every public pool, spa, or interactive water feature.
(E) The pool operator’s registration certificate shall be displayed in a place readily accessible for inspection by the regulatory authority, such as a bulletin board, display case, or other prominent location.
(F) Nonpayment. A permit that lapses for nonpayment of the annual permit fee will be reinstated upon payment of the permit fee, except such permits which have lapsed for a period exceeding one month. Such permits shall be reinstated upon payment of the annual permit fee and late fee, as set forth in the city’s Regulatory Compliance fee schedule.
(G) Denial of permit. A permit may be denied if the regulatory authority, upon inspection, determines that the applicant has failed to comply with any provision of this subchapter.
(H) Inspections for permits. An inspection shall be required annually to qualify for a permit. A permit is valid for one year from the date of issuance.
