MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 11, 1991 PAWN SHOP ORDINANCE needed along the northern portion of DeSoto 5treet. The City has already paid for two of these easements, however, they were never recorded. Approval should be subject to the finalization of these easements as well. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 91-6-199 - AWARDING THE BID FOR DESOTO STREET IMPROVEMENT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPER GRANTING THE CITY RIGHT-OF-ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, AND SUBJECT TO FINALIZATION OF THE THREE EASEMENTS ALONG THE NORTHERN PORTION OF DESOTO AVENUE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Blesener, LaValle, Scalze, Aanson, Collova. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Scalze asked about the Planning Commission agenda item regarding amending the Code to allow pawn shops as an allowed use in the B-3 Zoning District. The City Administrator reported that since pawn shops are not specifically excluded from the Ordinance, the assumption is that they are allowed under any Commercial Zoning District. By specifically allowing pawn shops in the B-3 District, they are then restricted to that district. The City Attorney submitted to the Council for approval the proposed Pawn Shop Ordinance. The Attorney reviewed the changes made in the Ordinance per discussion at the last Council meeting, and noted that the Ordinance provides for a$1,500 annual license fee for pawn shops, with that fee to be reviewed in 6 months to determine if it is adequate to cover City costs. Blesener pointed out that the Ordinance does not address the $2,000 investigation fee that was agreed to by the Council at the last meeting. The City Attorney pointed out that the Council adopted this investigation fee by resolution at its last meeting. Mr. LaValle introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: ORDINANCE NO. 346 - AN ORDINANCE ADDING CAAPTER 818 OF Page 20
