STAFF RECOMMENDATION | |
|
|
|
That Council suspend, for a period of 14 days, from June 1 to 14th, 2007 inclusive, the business licence of Pan Pacific Recycling Inc., at Unit # 140-13900 Mitchell Island Rd., Richmond, B.C., for the following reason(s): | |
|
|
|
(1) |
In eight business transactions conducted between April 25 to May 3, 2006, Pan Pacific purchased, from undercover police officers, a total of 74 municipal signs of which 57 were the property of the City of Richmond. The licence holder took no steps to ascertain whether the Cities had authorized the transactions. These transactions, carried out at the business premises of Pan Pacific, demonstrate conduct that is unacceptable to the City as a licensing authority, in that the holder has demonstrated willingness to trade in property without regard to the lawfulness of various transactions. In particular, it has demonstrated a willingness to acquire items that in the circumstances, cannot reasonably be assumed to be lawfully owned or held by the persons offering them for trade. |
|
|
|
(2) |
In accordance with the authority granted under the Community Charter Sec. 60 (2), the City deems that by failing to maintain the standard of qualification required for the issuance of a City Business Licence, this business has violated the Business Licence Bylaw No 7360 at section 5.1 (b) & (d) and Business Licence Regulations Bylaw No 7538 at section 22.1 (b) & (d). |
