ITEM TITLE Ordinance 1761 Amending Sections 5 . 38 . 210 And 5 . 38 . 220 of The
Chula Vista Municipal Code Relating to The Basis for The Revocation
And Suspension of Pawnbroker And Secondhand Dealer Business Licenses
SUBMITTED BY city Attorney SECOND RE,4DI�\G AnD ADOPTION
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES_ NO X )
As the Council is aware, because of the recent processing of the revocation
of the pawnshop license for the Coin Mart, the present ordinance requires
that the Council hold a public hearing prior to the revocation of a pawn-
shop or secondhand dealer ' license . This in effect, places the burden of
proof on the City to show non-compliance with the ordinance by a failure
to properly report pledged goods .
The City of San Diego and other cities take a conditional approach . If
during the course of a routine inspection, the police find goods which
have not been reported pursuant to the ordinance, the license is revoked
forthwith and the pawnshop operator must appeal to the Council for re-
instatement of the license .
An ordinance showing modification of the Code has been prepared for
Council action.
