Hanson <br />It was recently noted that the Municipal Code does not require a City Contractor's <br />License if a mechanical contractor has a State license. The City's practice over the past <br />several years has been to require a City license of mechanical contractors. Based on this <br />contradiction, we surveyed surrounding cities for their current practices (Attachment A). <br />As you can see, most cities require a city contractor's license for mechanical contractors. <br />We also inquired with the League of Minnesota Cities to determine if there is a State <br />Statute that would preclude us from requiring a City license of State- licensed mechanical <br />contractors. Their response was that there was not. <br />Therefore, staff is recommending we maintain our current practice and revise the <br />Municipal Code accordingly (Attachment B). <br />
