(a) Issuance or Renewal. Where Department finds that the statements in the application are true and that the applicant for issuance or renewal of a Class A Permit is reasonably capable of complying with the provisions of this Article, Department shall recommend issuance or renewal of a Class A Permit for the collection of the refuse. The proposed issuance or renewal shall then be approved or denied by the Board of Supervisors.
(b) Suspension/Revocation/Non-Renewal. A Class A Permit holder shall not lease, sublet, subcontract, or in any manner allow any other person or entity to engage in refuse operations under permission of the Class A Permit issued to the permit holder. The Class A Permit may be suspended, revoked or not renewed at the option of the Board of Supervisors in the event there is a change in the person or entity owning or operating the company or in the person to whom the permit is issued, unless approval therefore has been obtained in writing from the Board of Supervisors.
(c) Transfer of Class A Permit. Requests for approval of transfer of a Class A Permit because of a change in ownership of any kind or nature in the operating company or of the business operating under the Class A Permit, shall be submitted in writing to Department and approved by the Board of Supervisors prior to any such change. Any transfer of a Class A Permit to the new owners shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors, upon the recommendation of Department, in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter. Such transferred Class A Permit may be for a term shorter than the remaining unexpired permit term and be subject to such conditions as determined by the Board of Supervisors.
(d) Payment of Insurance. A Class A Permit holder shall furnish Department, prior to expiration or termination of the period covered by premium payment when renewal is automatic, evidence of renewal and of full payment of the premium on required insurance coverage. Nonreceipt by Department of this information shall result in the insurance policy being considered to be expired and justification for the suspension, revocation or cancellation of the permit in the manner set forth in this Article and Chapter 2 of Division 3 of Title 3 of the San Bernardino County Code.
(e) Statement of Ownership. The Class A Permit holder shall file a true and correct statement of ownership with Department at the time of permit renewal each year under penalty of perjury.
(f) Temporary Permit. The Board of Supervisors may, for any reason, choose to postpone the decision on the approval or denial of a new Class A Permit, the annual renewal of a Class A Permit or the transfer of a Class A Permit to new owners if it issues a separate temporary Class A Permit having a term less than or equal to six months (“temporary permit”). The issuance of a temporary permit may be subject to such terms as determined by the Board of Supervisors and does not constitute either the issuance of a new Class A Permit, the renewal of an existing Class A Permit or the approval or denial of the transfer of a Class A Permit, as the case may be. The issuance of a temporary Class A Permit shall confer no rights beyond the rights set forth in the temporary Class A Permit for the time period set forth in the temporary Class A Permit.
