City Manager
SUBJECT: Regular Agendaltemfor

Meeting
FROM: Humberto HernandezX
REFERENCES:
Commissioner ENCLOSURES:
I have been contacted by several Second -Hand dealers that are not in favor of, Ordinance
#11425 (Charter 42, Section 42-8) of the Code of the City of Miami, which establishes
fees for Second Hand Dealers and Pawn Shops. In addition to the new $1.50 per
transaction for fingerprinting and application fees, they are now required to pay $253.00
to the Police Department as administrative fees for processing inspections and
transactions. These Second Hand Dealers feel that these new fees are not only excessive,
but they violate the rights of the individuals that do business with them. They want to
stress the fact that they are not pawn shops.
Attached please find a letter listing the numerous licenses now required to operate a
business in the City of Miami and a comparison study with the city of Coral Gables
showing that the first surpasses the last by a large margin. They have also compiled a
list of business owners opposing these new fees.
Thank you for your cooperation.

! Comm.Dr. Humberto Hernandez
City of Miami
City Hall
Dear Sir:
The Second -Hand dealers (Antique dealers) that
have licenses to operate in the City of Miami are not in
favor of ordinance # 11425. We feel that the polliee is
being an obstacle because they are disrupting our
business activities and they are performing a task that
is not included in their line of police work.
We Antique dealers are not pawn shops and we
believe that the individual freedoms of the people who
sell to us are being violated because they are being
1 forced to fill out applications and have their finger-
prints taken.
We are including copies of our most recent
licenses and a comparative statement of the licenses, and
charges of the City of Miami and the City of Coral Gables.
Also, we are including a list of the people who
are not in favor of ordinance # 11425.
