<br />HASTINGS <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />POLICE <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor Mike Werner <br />& Hasting City Council Memp.irs <br />Chief Mike McMenomy ,,-rc <br />& Sgt. Valerie Scharfe V5 <br />OS/29/03 <br />Pawn Shop Compliance <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />On January 18th, 2003, the Old Mill Pawn Shop was mailed a bill from the City of Hastings <br />for their APS Fees that were due by them. The amount was for $613.50. These fees <br />covered the amount due for Oct-Dee 2002. They were then sent a statement on March 1 s\ <br />and April 1 st, 2003, reminding them that the balance was past due. The April 1 st statement <br />was sent by certified mail, which was signed for on April 2nd. As of today's date they have <br />still not paid this balance. I also have not been notified that they have paid their Jan-March <br />2003 bill. . <br /> <br />Also, the Old Mill Pawn Shop was mailed their license renewal letter on April 1 st, with an . <br />amount of $1000.00 due by May 1 st. This balance was not paid until May 15th, only after I <br />contacted them twice. <br /> <br />The overall compliance with the Old Mill Pawn Shop has been fairly consistent. Their <br />reporting has improved and they only have a few errors in their system. They continue to <br />have errors in the area of reporting jewelry. This seems to be a program glitch that they <br />have to figure out how to get around. <br /> <br />I am requesting direction on the non-payment of their bill. I n the past I would charge them <br />criminally through the City Attorney, but due to the long, ongoing problems I believe it <br />would be best if the City Council consider suspending their license until payment is <br />received. <br /> <br />Please contact me or Sgt. Valerie Scharfe if you have any questions. <br />
