CONVERSION OF BUSINESS LICENSE TO COMPUTER
In order to derive the greatest benefit from our effort
to prepare renewal notices by computer, a considerable
amount of time was necessary to code all businesses
inside the City in such a way that the Police District
or beat number could be used to identify a business
in addition to the business name and address. Also,
all businesses are assigned a standard industrial
code (SIC).
Information about a business can be retrieved in a
number of ways from a terminal accessing the business
license data base. Police could quickly have access
to all businesses within a district or districts,
emergency contact information on any business licensed
by the City, etc. A series of printed reports will
be distributed to Building, Police, Planning, etc.
showing businesses by name, location, classification code,
etc.
Approximately one-third of our 3,000 licensed businesses
have been coded and entered into the computer. Renewal
notices generated by the computer have been reviewed and
mailed, and today, the first renewal was received from
a business as a result of the computer generated renewal
notice.
We expect the renewal notice for the remaining 2,000
businesses to be mailed before the end of January. You
will recall I planned to have all renewal notices in the
mail by early December, but the transfer of the
License Co-ordinator was delayed until October. The
Finance Department staff has demonstrated a true spirit
of co-operation and much of the credit for the smooth
and successful conversion of these records belongs to
Loni Hamblin, Accounting Co-ordinator and Carol Gamner,
License Co-ordinator.
As soon as the system is fully converted and operating
smoothly, the License Co-ordinator will devote part of
her time to field investigation and inspection activities
to locate and license presently unlicensed business
operations and identify unreported or improper uses.

Conversion of Business Licenses
~Page two
This field activity will assure greater compliance with
City code and ordin~mces and qenerate additional 'revenue
as well.
The system requires extensive input initially, but then is easy to
maintain and to access information. The renewal notices show the
information previously supplied by the business for their convenience
in changing only outdated information. Also, the renewal notice shows
only their applicable fee basis instead of all categories fees, which
is often confusing. Attached is a sample.
