Approval <br />Item`bescription: <br />Background <br />� �.. <br />� <br />Request for Council Action <br />Manager Approval <br />`�� <br />Date: October 14, 2002 <br />Item Number: X. B. <br />Agenda Section <br />Organizational Business <br />Approval of draft specific to City Pawn Sho� Ordinances and Roseville Police <br />membership to "Automated Pawn System" (APS). <br />Minneapolis Police Department has developed an Automated Pawn System (APS) that was implemented in <br />1997. This APS system requires specific city ordinance language requiring local pawnshops to electronically <br />download and submit all of their daily transactions to a central site (currently at the BCA). Once this <br />information is submitted, police agencies that are members of APS are allowed to retrieve pawn shop <br />transaction data in an effort to recover stolen properiy, identify individuals that are making frequent transactions <br />or making multiple sales at different pawn shops, place an investigative "hold" on properiy that is under <br />investigation and a11ow an investigator to view pawn shop records from multiple jurisdictions. <br />To become a member of the APS, Roseville Police Department would need to pay the city of Minneapolis a fee <br />of $1100.00. This APS expense was approved under the 2001 Police Budget under a Capital Outlay specific to <br />criminal investigations. <br />Roseville would be able to recover the full cost of regulating their pawnshop by implementing the APS cost <br />recovery model that would be established by city ordinance. <br />Council Action Requested <br />Approve the draft city ordinance presented by the city attorney, which would ultimately a11ow the Roseville <br />Police Department to become participating members of the APS System. <br />
