All applications must be accompanied by a processing fee of $25.00 for each <br />vehicle that will collect regulated recyclable material. The applicant shall furnish the <br />following information: <br />A. Name and address of the applicant and the applicant's business name <br />B. A list of the equipment possessed, available, or otherwise to be used by the applicant in <br />regulated recyclable material collection, including motor vehicle license tag numbers; <br />C. Liability insurance coverage, proved by providing the Department, at the time that the <br />license is applied for, a certificate of insurance showing coverage in effect at the time of <br />application; <br />D. Name and location of facilities where collected regulated recyclable materials are to be <br />delivered. <br />3. Before issuing a license pursuant to this section, the Department may inspect or cause to be <br />inspected all facilities and equipment the applicant plans to use in the regulated recyclable <br />material collection business. Vehicles and containers used in the collection and transportation <br />of regulated recyclable material shall be covered, durable, and easily cleaned. They shall be <br />cleaned as often as necessary to prevent a nuisance and insect breeding and shall be <br />maintained in good repair. Vehicles shall display, in numbers at least three (3) inches high, <br />the county license number of the licensee and the license sticker issued by the Solid Waste <br />Management Department. <br />4. Issuance of license. <br />A. The Department may issue the applicant a RM license only when it is found that the <br />applicant's facilities, equipment, insurance coverage and proposed operating methods are <br />in compliance with this ordinance and the applicable rules of the Department which <br />implement the ordinance and that are consistent with it and that the applicant will <br />perform regulated recyclable material collection and disposal in a manner consistent with <br />this ordinance. A condition of the RM license shall be that the licensee shall serve every <br />person in such a manner that the RM licensee does not cause the person served to be in <br />violation of this ordinance. <br />B. If the RM license application does not meet the requirements of this ordinance, the <br />notification of denial shall state the reasons that the application was denied. If the <br />Department denies a RM license, the applicant may request a hearing with the <br />Department Director. The Department Director shall keep minutes of the hearing, <br />including all documents that are part of the application and all documents submitted at <br />the hearing. Within one week after the hearing the Department Director shall give the <br />applicant written notice of the decision either granting the license or affirming the denial <br />of the license. The applicant may appeal the Department Director's decision to the <br />Orange County Manager by giving written notice of appeal to the County Manager <br />within five (5) working days of receipt of the Department Director's decision. The <br />Manager shall reverse, affurn or remand the decision of the Department Director to the <br />Department Director based on the minutes of the hearing, including all documents that <br />are part of the minutes. If the decision of the Orange County Manager is to reverse the <br />decision of the Department Director, the license is deemed issued. If the Orange County <br />Manager remands to the Department Director, the remand decision shall direct the <br />matters to be reconsidered by the Department Director on remand. <br />C. A license shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance. <br />4 <br />
