Special Councilman Stone, Chainiian of the Special License Committee presented License the following; report: Committee November 27 , 1967 Report. Honorable Mayor & City Council City of Jefferson The Special. License Committee met at 7 : 30 p.m. , Wednesday, November 8th. , attended by Councilmen Kliegel, Scrivner, Stone and the late Bud Van Loo. Also, City Collector Ed. Cole and Roy Farmer, License inspector. The purpose of the meeting was to consider (as directed by the Council) , Bill No. 84, introduced by Councilman Hawes as an amendment to Ordinance No. 7822, relating to the licensing and regulation of merchants and business establishment of Jefferson City. The Committee voted unanimously against approving this Bill. In our opinion it would benefit only two or probably three of our larger business establishments. The Committee felt that rather than decrease the license of these larger establishments that they should be in- creased in conformity with other Cities in Central Missouri such as, Sedalia, Moberly, Mexico and others . The Committee will submit to the Council some recommendations in this regard at a later date. The Committee further felt that Bill No. 84 is discriminating and unfair to a number of our fine business establishments who operate at two or more locations that are not located within 300 feet of each ,other, therefore, they are required to purchase a license for each location. The Committee, therefore, unanimously recommended that 144 Regular Council Meeting, December 4, 1967 Bill No. 84 be rejected. Respectfully, /s/ 0. E. Stone, Chairman Councilman Stone moved that the report be approved. The motion passed, with one dissenting vote.
