Adopt Ordinance #13-24 to Amend City Code relating to the Business Registration Certificate

The purpose of this case is to amend the City's Code to reflect the current process for Business Registration Certificate submittal. 

Staff is proposing some minor changes to the Business Registration Certificate Ordnance (BRC).  Items in the existing ordinance that are no longer current as to how the City operates are as follows:  The BRC is not submitted to the "zoning administrator" as the ordinance states - the Police Department currently administers the BRC program.   The definitions are previously stated at the beginning of section.  The suggested amendments are basically housekeeping items; however,it requires ordinance introduction and adoption as that is the process for amending City Code. 

Requested changes are attached to this case with a strike through of deleted items and additions in red type.

The ordinance was introduced by Council at the regular meeting of October 22, 2013.  Ordinance #13-24 is now being presented for formal adoption.

None required

Staff recommends making the minor changes to the existing City Code that covers the Business Registration Certificate. Staff recommends not listing who the administrator of the program is so that if it changes, the ordinance/code does not have to be changed again.  Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance #13-24 relating to the process for the Business Registration Certificate.

Motion to waive the Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud - AND - adopt Ordinance #13-24 amending Chapter 26 of the City's Code known as the Licensing Chapter as it relates to Business Registration Certificates.
