Assistant to the City Administrator Reed explained that at the June 26, 2000 and July 24, 2000 City Council meetings, she had requested approval for a number of business license applications for 2000-2001. As of the July 24, 2000 meeting there were several businesses that had not submitted application materials: Blimpies Subs & Salads, Hardee's, KFC, Perkins Restaurant and Bakery, and Subway. She explained that based upon direction from the Council and with advice from the City Attorney's office, she mailed a letter to the indicated businesses by certified mail. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated she spoke with Lisa Howard of the Business Licensing Division of KFC the week of August 24"' and advised her that the City would issue a citation if KFC's application materials were not submitted by August 11, 2000. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed reported the utility, police and health reports indicate that there are no violations that would prohibit the renewal of business licenses for Blimpies Subs & Salads, Hardee's, Perkins Family Restaurant and Subway. She advised that she did receive an application from KFC the day she wrote her Council report and requested Council direction if they want to cite this business for operating without a license or to process their application. • Council Member Marty asked what a citation would entail. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated KFC would be fined as a misdemeanor. City Attorney Long stated there are two potential procedures; operating without a license under the criminal code, or an administrator citation process. He stated there had been discussion if the City should cite businesses earlier but the Council decided to give them a stern warning and allow them another opportunity to submit their application. He noted that all made submittal, with one being late so staff is asking for direction. Council Member Marty stated that while he does not want to start misdemeanor proceedings, he would like indication of this late submittal placed in the record so it can be determined if it is a habitual issue. Acting Mayor Stigney agreed and suggested KFC be warned that the next time they renew it cannot be late. Council Member Quick concurred and suggested a letter be sent to the business advising them that in the future, action will be taken should their business license renewal be delinquent. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Approve business license applications for Blimpies Subs & Salads, Hardee's, KFC, Perkins Family Restaurant, and Subway, as recommended by staff.
