Section R. 393.18 - Commission responsibilities; vending facility site; equipment

(a) Determine if a potential site is suitable for a vending facility. In a building where more than 1 vending facility exists, the commission may merge the facilities into a single vending facility. Facility merging may occur when 1 of the vending facilities is vacated and has not been awarded to another licensee after being on the bid line for 2 or more weeks. Under these circumstances, applicable additional licensee training requirements shall be waived for a period to be determined by the commission board, with the active participation of the committee. The commission shall determine, with the active participation of the committee, whether a potential location is suitable for operation as a vending facility or as a satellite. The criterion for determining if a potential location is suitable for operation as a vending facility is that the potential site's net annual income is expected to be 120% of the current federal minimum wage, based upon a 40-hour workweek.

(b) List and assign priority to suggested renovations. All renovation or remodeling activities are subject to the availability of funds. The commission shall make all final renovation decisions with input from the committee.

(c) The commission shall determine the equipment needs of each vending facility and furnish each vending facility with adequate equipment suitable to the needs of the vending facility.

(d) Maintain, or cause to be maintained, all vending facility equipment in good repair and cosmetically appealing condition and replace, or cause to be replaced, worn-out or obsolete equipment as required to ensure the continued and successful operation of the facility.
