JAMES G. ROURKE, CITY ATTORNEY
BUSINESS CERTIFICATE
In order to insure that all those who apply for and receive
business certificates from the City understand that the certificate
does not reflect any opinion by the City on the legality or worthi-
ness of the business involved, I suggest that the certificate be
stamped as follows:
':Note: this business certificate is merely
a receipt for tax paid and is not in any
way intended to indicate an opinion on the
validity or legality of a business."
It is my understanding that City employees prepare business
certificates by typing the necessary information into a computer.
The computer subsequently generates the business certificate, which
is then mailed out to the applicant. I suggest that the certificate
could be stamped before mailing, and it appears that there is room
at the top left hand corner of the.certificate for such notice.
