HomeMy WebLinkAbout7. 2010 Currency Exchange Licenses-Res. No. 6954
CITY OF SHAKOPEE 'I
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
SUBJECT: 20 I 0 Currency Exchange Licenses
DATE: November 12, 2009
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The City Council is asked to consider applications for renewal of four currency exchange licenses.
The licenses will allow the applicants to engage in the business of cashing checks, drafts, money
orders, or travelers' checks for a fee.
Madison Financial Companies dba MoneyXchange, 1147 Canterbury Road; DRM LLC of
Shakopee, dba Excel Pawn, 450 West 1 st A venue; Cash Systems, Inc. dba Canterbury Park, 1100
Canterbury Road; and Los Gallos 13 Inc. dba Los Gallos, 582 So. Marschall Road have made
application for renewal of their currency exchange licenses.
You may remember that the City has previously approved licenses for these applicants. The
licenses are ultimately issued by the State of Minnesota. Current law requires that the local
municipality approve or deny the issuance of a license, after published notice and a public hearing.
The applicants have provided the State with the required $10,000 Currency Exchange Surety Bond.
The Police Department has advised me that they are unaware of any reason for the City of
Shakopee to object to the granting of a currency exchange license to these applicants.
