Subject Pawnshop Proposed Amended Ordinance



Description 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)
