Sec. 746.103. - Weighing machines on sidewalks.

Weighing machines designed for weighing persons, which machines are owned and operated by a nonprofit corporation or association which raises and uses funds solely for the benefit and relief of the needy, blind or physically handicapped persons, may be placed on the public sidewalks of the City under the following conditions and restrictions. (a) Each weighing machine shall have a substantial base to prevent tipping, shall be placed at the inner edge of the sidewalk and shall not extend outward in excess of 30 inches on the sidewalk. (b) Written consent from the occupant of the property in front of which the weighing machine is located shall be filed with the Building Inspection Division at the time of the application for a license for the weighing machine. The occupant of this property may, at any time, revoke his consent by a writing filed with the Building Inspection Division, whereupon the weighing machine may no longer be maintained at that location. The machine may be relocated under the same license upon the filing of a written consent by another property occupant. (c) A license for each weighing machine shall be procured before it is located. The license shall be affixed to and kept on the weighing machine until the expiration of the license. (d) The total number of weighing machines which are permitted to be located on the public sidewalks and the total number of licenses issued and outstanding shall at no time exceed 100 in number. (e) The applicant for a license shall procure and file with the application a public liability insurance policy issued by an insurance company authorized and certified to write such insurance in the State, and approved by the Office of General Counsel as to form, insuring the applicant and the City against liability in an amount of not less than $100,000 for any one person injured and not less than $300,000 for more than one person injured in any one accident, and $25,000 for all property damaged in any one accident arising out of, caused by or resulting from the location of a weighing machine on the public sidewalks.
