He then said that the major issue is where to locate the pawnshop. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Council Member Marty indicated he has had a number of calls on the proposed pawnshop 30 <br />ordinances and he would like to continue the discussions at a work session after hearing public 31 <br />comments of those in attendance at this public hearing. 32 <br /> 33 <br />David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road asked what kind of revenue pawnshops would bring to the 34 <br />City and what kind of businesses would like to be located next to them. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated that the tax base revenue is the same as any other 37 <br />commercial business but there is a question as to whether there would be a net loss to the City on 38 <br />fees charged for the additional policing and monitoring required by the pawnshop. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated the other businesses within Mounds View Square 41 <br />have said that they are not happy about a proposed pawnshop. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Mr. Jahnke agreed that the matter should be tabled for further research and discussion. 44 <br /> 45
