(a)

An inspection official shall set appointments with the emergency auto wrecker company, in or about the month of December of each year, for the purpose of inspecting the storage facilities and emergency auto wreckers used by each wrecker company to ensure that all requirements are met before a new permit is issued. All appointments for inspection are to be set by the reasonable discretion of the official inspector. All requirements shall be met and approved by the inspector.

Wreckers may be inspected at any time during normal business hours or during any time of operation.

(c)

Wreckers found in violation of the requirements of this chapter may be subject to immediate forfeiture of said permit and the owner and/or operator may be subject to citation by either the police department or the inspection official.
