REFERRALS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL



COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2004



TO THE CITY MANAGER:



PAWNSHOP PROPOSED AMENDED ORDINANCE:



Provide some information on CCG-TV to explain the process, as well as,

some additional information about the computer equipment and software that is

going to be needed by the pawnshops. (Request of Councilor Woodson)



Send out another letter to all of the pawnshop owners and conduct another

meeting and invite those Councilors that have been receiving telephone calls to

that meeting. (Request of Councilor Turner Pugh) Let?s consider having the

Police Department deliver the letter and in that delivery make sure the

individual that needs to get the letter receives it. Also, when the police

department delivers the letter, they could also explain that this is the last

time for picking up reports and that the individual pawnshop owners would be

required to deliver it to the Police Department. (Request of Councilor Allen)

Let?s provide them with a copy of the ordinance, which shows that it requires

the pawnshop owners to deliver it to the Police Department. (Request of

Councilor Allen) Also have something signed from the different pawnshops that

show the date and time that individual received the letter. (Request of

Councilor Turner Pugh)



Have the staff to meet with the Pawnshop Industry and the Police

Department regarding the software package and respond to any technical

questions that the pawnshop owners may have. (Request of Councilor Davis)



Create a pamphlet that shows the pawnbrokers the cost involved, what they

are getting for their money, and more information on the process, as well as,

the benefits for having the software implemented. It would be of assistance,

if this pamphlet were provided to the pawnshops at the same time that the

letter is delivered. (Request of Councilor Woodson)



Invite the individual that created the programs for the pawnshop dealers

to be a part of the meeting with our IT Department. (Request of Councilor

Turner Pugh)
