Centerville City Council June ] ], 2003 Meeting Minutes 2. Ordinance #31 - Providing for Licensing and Bonding of Individuals, Firms, Corporations, Contractors and Subcontractors Mayor Sweeney opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the Planning Commission reviewed this Ordinance and recommended repealing it. The Ordinance was brought back to them for reconsideration and the recommendation is still to repeal it with a direction to Staff to obtain the Minnesota license numbers and place them on the building permits. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the State of Minnesota provides an adequate procedure for licensing contractors and she does not feel it is necessary for the City to spend Stafftime licensing them if they are already licensed with the state. Mayor Sweeney indicated he brought this up to Staff because he feels that Staff issuing building permits without having proof of Minnesota licensure opens the City up to liability. Council Member Lee indicated the license number on the application would solve the problem. Mayor Sweeney indicated he does not feel the City should issue a building permit unless there is proof of a license or it is for the homeowner. Ms. Paulseth indicated the Department of Commerce requires it. There was consent not to issue a permit until there is proof of a contractor's license from the State of Minnesota. Mayor Sweeney indicated the licenses expire on March 31, of every year and there has to be continuing education to have that license renewed.
