FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. Ordinance: Chances to Business License TMC Chanter 5 Staff is seeking Council approval of a draft ordinance which will repeal Sections 5.16 and 5.40 of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) regarding business licenses for Card and Pool Rooms and Massage Establishments. Minor housekeeping items address modification for change or elimination as appropriate. Additionally, Section 5.04.105 has been added to address the issuance of business licenses and Section 5.04.110 allows for revocation or denial of a business license based on non payment of City- related fees. As of mid November, the business license issuance function will transition from the City Clerk's Office to the Finance Department. Changes to the draft ordinance modify the previous designation of processes from the City Clerk's Office to the Finance Deaprtment. Finance Safety Committee Minutes November 2. 2010 Page 2 The suggested elimination of reference to Card and Pool Rooms and Massage Establishments is a result of recognition of antiquated language in the TMC which is no longer supported by State code and /or is limited by the Revised Code of Washington. New additions to the ordinance allow for enforceable action to deny or revoke a business license upon, or as a result of, non payment of fees or taxes due to the City under the TMC or City Policy. A second addition, implements in writing an existing internal process for departmental review of business license applications. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D.
