(a) Applicant requirements. An applicant shall be an owner/operator of the public bathing place, as defined in 63 O.S. Section 1-1013 et. Seq. complying with the requirements of this chapter, agree to permit access to the public bathing places, provide required information, and pay the applicable license fee and submit application on a form provided by the Department.
(b) Application contents. The application shall include:
(1) The name,
mailing address, telephone number, approximate number of employees, and
signature of the person applying for the license and the name, mailing address
and location of the public bathing places;
(2) Information about the legal entity for
the public bathing places; and
(3)
Information about the type of public bathing places.
(c) Fee. The fee shall be made payable to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
(d) Facility definition.
(1) A public bathing facility, for permitting
purposes, will be a single swimming pool, spa, water slide, or other bathing
unit.
(2) A new permit and fee will
apply for a new bathing unit added later to an existing facility, and for a
major modification of an existing unit.
(e) Applicant identification.
(1) The application may take these forms:
(A) Applicant is the owner and signs as
such.
(B) Applicant is an
authorizing officer of the organization which is the owner; the full name of
the organization and the signer's title must be supplied.
(C) Application includes a letter from the
owner (or from an officer as in part (B), or from an authorized agent of the
owner) authorizing the applicant to act on his behalf for the purpose of
obtaining the permit.
(D)
Application is signed "XXX, agent for YYY, owner." If there is any question
whether "expediency" may have resulted in misrepresentation, the Department may
require an authorizing letter as in part (C) above.
(2) If the application does not show whether
the owner and/or agent is an individual, a partnership, or a corporation,
processing of the permit will be delayed until this information is
supplied.
(3) The application form
also requires that information is to be provided on who will be responsible for
the facility following completion of construction. In the case of joint
ownership, such as a condominium or housing development, the applicant may
state on the application that, for example, a homeowners association will own
and operate the bathing facility. In such cases, a provision in the permit will
assign this future responsibility accordingly, if no Affidavit of
Responsibility is supplied with the application. In other cases there must be
submitted with the application, a notarized Affidavit of Responsibility signed
appropriately. The purpose of this is to remove any doubt that the responsible
party is aware of its responsibility.
