Dear Rich:
As promised, enclosed is the proposed rewrite of our business license ordinance that we'd
actually been working on for over a year. This combines some cleaning up of the basic business
ordinance and also deals with making any licenses issued in 2011 run from the date of issuance.
I'm copying Paul, Steve Smart and the Mayor with this so they can look through it to
make sure we're okay with it. If they're satisfied, I'd recommend the rule be waived and we pass
this so that it's in effect at the first of the year. In anticipation of that, I'm also including a
summary which I've not copied to everyone else since it only would go in the newspaper.
Sill,cerely.

December 15, 2010
Enclosed is a revised business license ordinance taking into the account the discussions
we had at the December 14 Council meeting.
I changed the wording in 5.07.040 per Councilman England's discussion.
The driver's license designation in 5.07.160 didn't make any sense taken out of the
context of Chapter 5.07 but I went ahead and added 5.07.060 and 5.07.170 as well as rewording
5.07.160 to talk about a tax cab driver's license. That probably makes the whole Chapter 5.07
read better anyway. These are not such significant changes that we need to start over so we can
get a second reading at the first Council meeting in January and hopefully adopt this at the first or
second Council meeting in January.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Holmes
