(A) The City Clerk may appoint an inspector for every auction sale conducted in the city, except such as are exempt by the provisions of this subchapter, who shall be at all times on the premises while such sale is in progress. He or she shall be given a copy of the inventory by the City Clerk and shall, as each article is sold, check such item off the inventory.
(B) If any article is offered for sale which does not appear on the inventory, the inspector is authorized to forbid the sale of such article and, if the auctioneer refuses to comply with such request, the inspector may forthwith stop the sale until the auctioneer furnishes satisfactory proof that such article was included in the inventory.
(C) The owner or auctioneer shall pay or cause to be paid to the City Clerk the sum of $10, or the cost to be incurred in placing such inspector, whichever is greater, in advance, for each day such auction is to continue, for the services of said inspector; such payment may be made on the day of the sale prior to the commencement of the sale.
