Basically, the state will issue contractor licenses for remodelers and general contractors involved in residential construction. The attached ordinance will bring the municipal code into confor- mance with the state's actions. Although the City will not be allowed to require city licenses of contractors licensed by the State, the City is allowed to charge a fee for checking the contractors license status with the State. This fee will be included in the annual adjustment of fees provided to the Council in January.
