Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
SUBJECT: 2012 Pawnshop Licenses
DATE: December 15, 2011
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 2012.
Both DRM LLC of Shakopee, dba Excel Pawn and PawnXchange LLC have applied for renewal of their
licenses. The applications are 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.)
