ISSUE/ACTION PROPOSED
Staff requests Council approval of the attached ordinancP amending the General License
Provisions of the City's Miscellaneous Licensing regulations .
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council reviewed these proposed changes at their February 7, 1994 Study Sessi o!1.
BACKGROUND
The changes included in he attached ordinance were developed by Financial Services staff
and the City Attorney with input from Council and other staff members. The intent is to
clarify and in some instances simplify the procedures and requirements for attaining
miscellaneous licenses in the City of Englewood. This ordinance does not create an y new
licenses, and does not establish a "general business license ." It applies to licensing
procedures that are already required for certain types of business activities already
regulated by the City, such as amusements, carnivals, Christmas tree vendor~ door-to-door
vendors, pawn brokers, and others.
We ha ve reviewed these proposed changes with the Gr~a t•a Engl wood Chamber of
Commerce and the Englewood Downtown Developm(r,f Authority. Neither expressed
concern over the proposed changes .
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff believes the proposed changes will benefit the City and its licensees by clarifying the e ·
pr.ocedures and regulations concerning miscellaneous licenses . The changes include:
• clarifying the definitions in the code
• clarifying application requirements
• clarifying the duties of the Licensing Officer
• clarifying issuance procedures
• defining reasons to deny, suspend , or revoke applications
• clarifying the procedures for transferring a license and increasing the transfer fee
from $1 to $25 ·
• clarifying and simplifying the inspection authority of the Li censing Offic er
• clarifying the hearing and appeal process
9NANCIAL IMPACT
:-.:o signific ant financial impact is anticipated.
