No. 3

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Co~.,~il Members
FROH: Ron Nault, Finance Direcko~i.~i~. I ~~
SUBJECT: Business Certlf~cate - Not Per~]_t to v~olate Applicable Laws
BACKGROU~{D
In Deceit)er of 1980 the City Attorney recmmended that all business cert. ificates
carry a statement that it was not a permit to violate applicable laws. At
the time rubber-stamping was considered to be impractlca] and we could not
secure additional computer programming due to ]ack of support staff.
DISCUSSION
The recent zone hearing in which the issued business certificate was ~ ~] in an
attempt to justify the violation has brought, attention Lo the need for urther
definition of the business certificate. Our conputer support staff has been
approached and we have been ~ssured of their ability to add the attuched
sample message to our certificates at no cost.
I think that this will satisfy the need as expressed by the City Attorney and
the City Council. I would also suggest that an administuative policy be con-
sidered whereby a check list apl~roval system be utilized prior to the issu~,Nce
of a business certificate. This check list could include an approval block
for the Community Development Department, approving son ing, etc.; Building
Department, approving struct~ral inspection, etc.; Fire Department, approving
Fire <lode inspection, etc. This m,~y prevent such problems aswe'.ve recently
perier_ce~] from ¢ :curring.
RECO}!bl PiNDAT ION
Council approve the s~mp]e wording as attached, and autN-rize the Finance
Director to have same added to the 'text of the business certi[icate.
