729.17 Selecting managers of vending facilities.
(a) When the commission establishes a new vending facility or when a
vacancy occurs in an existing vending facility, the commission will canvass qualified
licensees to determine interest in the new vending facility or vacancy. The commission,
with the participation of the State Committee of Blind Vendors, will develop policies and
procedures for conducting a canvass and criteria for the selection of a manager for the
vacant facility. The commission will provide each licensee with such policies, procedures
and selection criteria.
(b) The commission may waive the canvass and transfer a licensee to a
new vending facility when the commission determines that such transfer will not result in
a significant financial gain to the licensee. The commission may also waive the canvass
and transfer a licensee to a new vending facility when the vending facility currently
operated by the licensee will be closed due to the relocation of its clientele to another
location which includes a new vending facility. The licensee may only be transferred to
this new vending facility.
(c) A licensee appointed to manage a vending facility is ineligible for
appointment to another vending facility for a period of six months commencing on the
effective date of that appointment.
