BUSINESS LICENSE REVISIONS--PHASE II (memo, ordinances, background information distributed) City Manager Michea1 Gleason introduced the agenda item. Susan Smernoff of the Eugene Development Department gave the staff report. Responding to comments at the council.s pUblic hearing on June 10, Ms. Smernoff said many owners and managers thought they would have difficulty getting background checks on prospective employees. So staff recommended that the Police Depart- ment do the background checks and issue a certification card to detective and e security agencies, the person in charge of social gambling, and taxicab and limousine drivers. The card will be issued to individuals who comply with the Business Regulations of the Eugene Code. Ms. Smernoff said the proposed ordinances indicate the City will license armed and unarmed security people. The laws for merchant police and detective agen- cies are identical in the current code; consequently, they have been combined in the revisions. The definition of social gambling has been rewritten to permit most games in Hoyle's Modern Encyclopedia of Card Games. Games that require a banker to be present are prohibited. Responding to a letter from Francis W. Linklater concerning limousine drivers who take people on special tours for a day, Ms. Smernoff said the proposed ordinance indicates that limousine rates must be visible from outside and inside the vehicle. She suggested the definition of a limousine in the ordinance should be changed to: . . . a motor vehicle hired for transporting passengers at fixed ra tes . . . Ms. Smernoff said used clothing has been excluded from the definition of a used merchandise dealer in the ordinance to respond to testimony. In addi- tion, the definition of a seller of used merchandise in the ordinance has been changed to the one used by the Internal Revenue Service. It excludes those who sell items as a hobby. - MINUTES-Eugene City Council June 26, '985 Page 3
