"Sec. 18-12-3. Procedure to obtain license. Every
person desiring to obtain a nursing home license shall
make an application therefor to the License Assessor and
Collector of Salt Lake City. The application shall include
such information and data under oath, respecting the nurs-
ing home for which the license is requested as the Board of
Health may prescribe, including a description of the home
and service and a statement of the personnel and program
that are to be used in connection therewith. The application
shall be accompanied by the sum of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00)
license fee, which sum, if the license is granted, shall be
paid to the City Treasurer or be returned to the applicant
if the application is denied.
"Sec. 18-12-4. Permit. Upon receipt of such applica-
tion the License Assessor and Collector shall refer the same
to the Health Department, together with all information re-
lating thereto. Thereupon the Health Commissioner, or his
authorized representative, shall make an inspection of the
premises to be used as a nursing home. If the premises are
found to be in compliance with the City ordinance and rules
and regulations of the Health Department, a permit may be
issued by the Health Department to conduct such home. The
Board of Health shall cause a copy of such permit to be
filed with the License Assessor and Collector. No license
shall be issued without such copy of permit having been so
filed. In the event the premises upon such inspection are
found not in satisfactory compliance with the ordinances
and rules and regulations of the Health Department, no such
permit shall be issued and no license shall be issued.
"Sec. 18-12-5. Suspension and revocation of permit.
The permit referred to in Section 18-12-4 hereof may be
suspended or revoked by the Health Commissioner upon the
violation by the holder of any of the terms of this ordin-
ance, whereupon the license issued shall automatically be
suspended or revoked except as hereinafter provided, the
suspension or revocation of said permit shall take effect
thirty (30) days after written notice by the Health Commis-
sioner to the permittee advising the latter of the contempl-
ated suspension or revocation and setting forth the reasons
for such action. At any time before the expiration of said
30-day period, permittee may request a hearing of said pro-
posed suspension or revocation before the Board of Commis-
sioners which Board shall pass finally upon the matter of
such suspension or revocation. The notice to the permittee,
hereinabove referred to shall advise him of the right to
such hearing.
"When in the opinion of the Health Commissioner there
exists an emergency which may endanger the public health
or safety, the Health Commissioner is empowered to declare
an emergency and immediately suspend any or all such per-
mits as may be required without a hearing or prior notice.
The operation of any home without a permit in full force
and effect from the Health Department to operate shall
constitute a violation of this ordinance and each day of
operation without such permit being in full force and
effect is hereby declared to be a separate violation and
punishable as such.
