(a) A licensed trade contractor shall be a master or have in his employ and so designate a master on a full-time basis. Before issuance of a trade contractor’s license, the applicant shall submit the address of his place of business, business telephone number, name of the designated master and other information as may be required on forms provided by the Development Services Division and pay all relevant fees. The trade contractor shall be ultimately responsible for the work done.

(b) If a designated master is employed by more than one trade contractor in the capacity of a designated master, it shall be deemed that he or she is loaning his or her license and this shall be cause for the Board to revoke such master’s license. If the designated master for a contractor is terminated, resigns, retires, expires or changes employers, such licensed contractor shall secure the services of another master no later than 90 days after the departure of the first master. Any work in progress during the absence of a master may continue for such period of 90 days; however, no new permits shall be issued. Failure to secure the services of another master within such 90 days shall be cause for revocation of the contractor’s license and all work in progress shall cease until the services of a master are acquired and a new contractor’s license is issued. (Ord. 19330 § 26, 11-3-09. Code 1995 § 30-526.)
