BRODEN <br />CITY ATTORNEY <br />April 5, 1999 <br />Mr. Sean Coleman <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />Fourth Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />RE: A Proposed Ordinance of the Common Council Amending Chapter 4 of the <br />Municipal Code to Revise Provisions for Licensing Precious Metals Dealers and <br />Second Hand Stores <br />Dear Mr. Coleman: <br />As counsel for the Department of Code Enforcement and the Neighborhood Task Force, I <br />am enclosing a proposed ordinance to revise the licensing provisions for precious metals dealers <br />and second hand stores. <br />PHONE 219/235-9241 <br />Fax 219/235-9892 <br />TDD 219/235-5567 <br />ALADEAN M. DEROSE <br />CHIEF ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY <br />The proposed ordinance is meant to allow for outdoor display of items at second hand <br />stores, while preserving neighborhood integrity. It is also to allow for a shortened holding <br />period by both types of businesses if they use a computer program compatible with the program <br />used by the South Bend Police Department to monitor items received by the businesses. Finally, <br />the bill is intended to allow for the sale of items by precious metals dealers without requiring <br />that the purchasers be photographed and identified. <br />THOMAS L.
