ITEM TITLE RESOLUTION 8645 _- Giving Notice of Intention to Revoke the Pawnbroker
License of Martin L. Altbaum doing business as a Pawnbroker at Premises
Located at 255 Third Avenue in the City of Chula Vista Known as the Coin Mart
SUBMITTED BY~ City Attorney
ITEM EXPLANATION
As the Council is aware, on August 20, 1976 the San Diego Police Fencing Detail, acting
through proper search warrants, searched the premises located at 255 Third Avenue in the
City of Chula Vista known as the Coin Mart, a pawnshop operating under a license issued
to Martin L. Altbaum.
Certain properties were seized and it was noted that no records were maintained for said
properties as required by the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The Code provides that a failure
to comply with or a violation of any provision of the chapter regulating and licensing
pawnbrokers imposes a duty upon the Council to revoke the license of said pawnbroker.
Prior to such revocation, the Council must conduct a public hearing which has been duly
noticed. Therefore, such a notice has been prepared for the adoption of the Council
setting the public hearing for June 28, 1977. The hearing to be conducted will be admin-
istrative in nature and will not require a strict adherence to rules of evidence. However,
it is recommended that all witnesses who testify before the Council be sworn and that a
court reporter be retained to prepare a record of the hearing since the matter might be
challenged in the courts should the Council determine that grounds exist for the revoca-
tion of Mr. Altbaum's license. The City Attorney will contact the Police Department and
the Finance Director so that all necessary witnesses and records will be available for
presentation to the Council at the hearing. A procedural guide and order of witnesses to
be called and evidence to be presented to the Council will be set forth in the A-113
covering the hearing on the 28th of June, 1977.
