The person applying shall fully comply with all the provisions of the ordinances of the City of Auburn and the statutes of the State of New York respecting the business of the person applying.
The bond shall provide for payment of all judgments and costs rendered against the person applying for any violation of said ordinances and statutes.
All money paid down as a down payment will be accounted for and applied according to the representation of the person applying, his agents, servants or employees and further guarantee to any purchaser doing business with said person applying that the property purchased will be delivered according to the representation of the person applying.
Approval. Such bond shall be approved by the Corporation Counsel as to form and execution and by the City Manager as to its sufficiency.
Deposit in lieu of bond. In lieu of any such surety bond, the applicant may make a cash deposit with the City Manager in an amount to be fixed by the City Manager, which deposit shall be deemed to be surety to the same extent as such surety bond.
All transient merchants shall display in a conspicuous place at the location of the transient retail business the permit issued pursuant to this chapter and readable and shall have it readily available for inspection by the Fire Department and/or Police Department.
