At this time, we are requesting you review and take action on Phase One of the business license revisions. Phase One includes: 1. A complete reorganization of Chapter 3 to add clarity and consistency to what is being regulated. e 2. Proposals on which businesses to continue regulating and drafting the laws and rules to govern their activity. 3. Revisions to the procedures that govern businesses licenses. 4. Recommendations on which business licenses to delete. In late May, we will bring you a proposal on the Phase Two, which will address business activities that could be addressed through uniform business practice 1 aws. Code Content Each business activity that is regulated will follow certain laws and rules. The substantive laws are the basic guiding principles that will govern a particular type of business. The laws are adopted by council. For example, if we consider the proposed Refuse and Recycling Collection Code, one law requires all collectors, except those who collect only recyclables, to charge at least the minimum rate established by council. Administrative rules provide detail on how to carry out the laws. The rules .re sign~d by the City Man~ger. For example, the rules define the spectfic pro~ess that refuse collectors, staff, and the council will use when revising rates charged by refuse collectors. e Administrative procedures will also become part of the Eugene Cod.e. The procedures will be used for all of the City.s business licenses. The procedures are adopted by the council. As an example, they describe: how citizens can seek changes to administrative rules; procedures for handling complaints'; and the processes used in approving, denying; suspending or revoking a license. Proposed Revisions: Phase One The business license laws for which streamlined laws are being proposed include: 1. Ambulance. 2. Fire Safety Permits. 3. Gas Contractor. 4. Private Police Agency. 5. Refuse and Recycling Collection. and 6. Sidewalk Vending. e -2-
