  sufficient  to  compensate  the  city  for the administrative expense of
  issuance of such photo identification cards,  of  registration  and  the
  inspections  and  other  activities  related thereto, and of issuance of

  the performance of such functions. For  the  purposes  of  this  section
  "designee of the department" shall mean an agency of the city or, in the
  discretion  of  the  commissioner,  a  wholesaler cooperative or similar
  organization. Registration pursuant to this chapter shall be  valid  for
  three  years.  A  wholesale  business  or  a  market  business  shall be
  responsible for the payment of any fee  imposed  by  this  section  with
  respect  to an employee of such business or any person seeking to become
  an employee of such business.
