Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand noted the substitute bill was amended to remove
one license request of the three originally submitted. The removal specifically was due to one
yard operating without a required video camera. Chuck Clark, City Licensing Auditor, apologized
to Council for the incomplete application submitted for consideration at the last meeting. The
other two were in compliance. Councilmember Varner asked what would now occur without a
license? Chuck Clark replied the firm would have 60 days to comply then possibly 60 more days
would be allowed for compliance. Councilmember's Dieter and Varner both asked about the
responsibility for enforcement. Councilmember LaFountain and Council Attorney Kathleen
Cekanski-Farrand stated a need to rework and clarify the ordinance. City Controller Catherine
Fanello agreed. On a motion by Councilmember Kirsits, seconded by Councilmember Oliver
Davis a recommendation in favor of grating the two licenses in compliance was passed.
There being no further business to come before the Committee, Councilmember Tom LaFountain
adjourned the meeting at 4:20 p.m.
