Mr. Limbaugh asked when he would need to complete and return his fmancial disclos

forms from the Secretary of State, but had not received them to date. He further sta
that the deadline for reporting was sometime in May. City Manager Ron Fischer sta.

Mr. Barklage made the following recommendations to the City staff regarding the Tra s
Licensing Ordinance:
The Ordinance should require a license on all plumbers, contractors, handym ,
electricians, and gasfitters.
�
The Ordinance should require a $5.00 fee and a registration that would allow r
communication and allow for everybody to get on the system.
i
The Ordinance should contain penalties for those not obtaining a license.
'!
�' No dramatic changes should be made for gasfitters or plumbers now, but it sho ld
ibe looked at again in six months to one year to see how the system is going.
�
i
The Ordinance should require those who maintain insurance to notify the Ci f
that information so that it can be kept on file for consumers to check.
After discussion, Mr. Barklage made the following motion:
I That the staff draw up a license ordinance that would clean up the exist g
�� plumbing and gasfitters ordinance to some of the suggestions made. That tes g
not be required on contractors, handymen, electricians, etc., but that a $5.
�� yearly registration fee be required to get a license. That penalties be included r
practicin g without a license. That those re gisterin g for a li cen s e c an d i s cl o s t o
the City bonds if they have them.
Mr. Limbaugh seconded the motion.
Mayor Rhodes moved that Mr. Barklage's motion be amended to just have contract s,
handymen, electricians, etc. register at a $5.00 fee and leave the present ordinance in
place as they are now, excepting gasfitters and plumbers. Mayor Rhodes' motion
