(A) The licensed hauler shall agree to perform the obligations incurred by the license in accordance with the terms of this chapter and the franchise agreement.
(B) It shall be the responsibility of the licensed hauler to see that the hauler’s collections are conducted in a neat, workpersonlike manner whereby no rubbish or refuse is spilled in yards or on streets as a result of collection operations.
(C) In residential areas, unless otherwise permitted by the City Manager, collection of refuse and rubbish shall not commence before 6:00 a.m. and shall be completed by 6:00 p.m. on any single day of collection. No regular collection shall be made on Saturdays, Sundays or designated holidays. Exceptions by the City Manager can be made for days following holidays or acts of God when regular pick-ups cannot be conducted.
(D) The City Manager shall have the authority, with the advice and consent of City Council, to approve or disapprove the transfer of any license after consideration of whether the city desires to take over the collection of the accounts to be transferred and after consideration of the reputability of the proposed new licensee. The city may also exercise the right of first refusal on the purchase of said hauler’s equipment. Such consent does not release the licensed hauler from any obligations and/or liabilities under the license. Violation of this specification shall result in immediate forfeiture. The license shall be binding upon respective successors, executors, administrators and assigns, as the case may be, of the licensed hauler, who shall be responsible for the continuation of the same in the event of dissolution, merger and/or death of the licensee.
(E) A local office or a published local telephone number shall be established by the licensed hauler. This office and the telephone number shall be listed with the office of the City Manager and office of Code Enforcement.
(F) In order to provide service to the entire community, commercial accounts unable to find service will be assigned to a commercial hauler by the City Manager.
(G) If a licensed hauler is adjudged bankrupt, either voluntarily or involuntarily, then this license shall terminate, effective on the day and at the time the bankruptcy petition is filed, and the city shall take over said hauler’s routes and accounts in accordance with terms and conditions of the franchise agreement.
(H) In the spirit of shared responsibilities, the City Manager will secure the assistance of the licensed hauler during spring cleanup, Christmas tree pick-up and for other special occasions and events as identified in the franchise agreement.
