Attorney Kenefick stated that the <br />license and investigation fees should be set by Council <br />resolution so that if there would be a change in the Pee, <br />the Council could pass another Resolution setting the~znehr <br />fee Without having the expense of publishing the ordinance <br />again or an amendment to the ordinance. <br />Councilman Ecklund stated that he felt the person making <br />the application for the license should be the party in- <br />terested in the license, whether a person, officer or <br />corporation, as stated in Section 8, subdivision ~+. <br />He also asked iE it would be up to the City to remind <br />a business that the license is about to expire.
