Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 18, 2003 Page 6 1 Commissioner Hoska asked why there was a reduction in bond from$10,000.00 to 2 $5,000.00 from the old draft to the new one. Mr. Smith said $5,000.00 seemed to be more 3 typical in looking at other ordinances. 4 5 Commissioner Hoska asked to change the wording from "may"to "shall"under Section 6 566.12 (L),Firearms and Weapons. 7 8 Chair Melsha asked how background checks are paid for.. Mr. Smith said it's typically 9 part of the license fee a person would pay. 10 11 Vice Chair Stille said he would like system maintenance costs to be covered, for 12 example,reporting and monitoring the transactions. 13 14 Mr. Smith reviewed the Second Hand Goods Ordinance. He said many of the provisions 15 are similar to the Pawnbroker Ordinance and the language is similar as well. The main 16 difference is that there is a greater potential for stolen property with a-second hand goods 17 dealer. 18 19 Mr. Smith reviewed Section 566.04 relating to garage sales. 20 21 Mr. Smith discussed the sale and receipt of second hand clothing and shoes. He 22 suggested that these items be subject to the licensing requirements since they can be 23 expensive. 24 25 Mr. Smith reviewed page 11 of the Ordinance regarding reporting items to the police. He 26 discussed the types of transactions that would get reported to the police department. He 27 explained these would be items most likely to be stolen such as sporting equipment, art 28 work, musical instruments,precious metals, gems, and electronic equipment. 29 30 Chair Melsha asked if collectibles were included in the Ordinance. Mr. Smith explained 31 that part of the problem with collectibles is they would be difficult to define since the list 32 would need to be very specific. Chair Melsha suggested qualifying the collectibles by a 33 dollar amount. 34 35 Ms. Hall asked if antiques were covered'in the Ordinance. Mr. Smith stated they are not 36 specifically covered. He said some cities have a separate Antique Dealers Ordinance. 37 38 Mr. Smith said he senses from Captain Ohl's letter that stolen property goods should be 39 the focus at this time. 40 41 Commissioner Stromgren had a question about Section 565.13, Item 6. He feels the 42 wording leaves out 90%of items at a place like architectural antiques,many of which are 43 very valuable. 44 45 Chair Melsha suggested inviting Captain Ohl to the next Planning Commission meeting 46 in order to hear his direction and concerns. 47
