CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council ~
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Pawnshop License Renewals
DATE: December 13, 2007
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On April 19, 1994, the City Council adopted an ordinance requiring the licensing of
pawnbrokers, precious metal dealers, secondhand dealers, pawnshops, and their employees. The
City received applications from two pawnshops and their employees and licenses were issued. It
is appropriate at this time that the licenses are renewed for 2008.
Both DRM LLC of Shakopee, dba Excel Pawn and PawnXchange LLC have applied for renewal
of their licenses. The applications axe in order. I have checked with the Police Department and
they advise that they are unaware of any reason that the licenses should not be renewed.
(Pursuant to the City Code, the City Clerk will be issuing the pawnshop employee licenses to the
qualifying applicants.)
