Biz registration may be approved

DALLAS — The Dallas City
Council is considering imple-
menting a registration pro-
gram with to-be-determined
fees for businesses in the city.
If approved, registration
would be required for non-
profits, such as charitable,
religious, educational, or
civic organizations, but they
would be exempted from
the initial and annual re-
newal fees.
The city now requires li-
censes and/or registration in
some form for taxicabs, so-
licitors, tent and carnival
shows, amusement games
and places, itinerant mer-
chants, hotels and motels,
Government
garage sales and home oc-
cupations. Those businesses
would be exempt from the
requirement entirely.
Discussion about requir-
ing registration of more
businesses began in Sep-
tember 2015 with the city’s
administration committee.
Since then the committee
has revised the proposed or-
dinance five times before
forwarding its final draft to
the full council in July.
Before recommend ap-
proval, committee had the
Dallas Area Chamber of
Commerce asked for feed-
back from its members.
Only 23 replied, but those
who did were mostly in
favor of the proposal.
“That’s not a huge sample,
but you can’t force people to
reply to a poll,” said Jason
Locke, the city community
development director, at the
committee’s July meeting.
“There was nothing that
came back of any concern
related to comments from
those folks. Our recommen-
dation is to move it the full
council.”
The council reviewed it
for the first time on Aug. 15
and it will be on the agenda
for a second reading, on
Sept. 19, the same night a
resolution determining fees
will be presented.
In other business, the city
council:
• Approved a city invest-
ment policy that would
allow it to make longer-term
investments than previously
allowed.
Finance Director Cecilia
Ward said the city isn’t want-
ing to make long-term in-
vestments right away, but
said adopting the policy
would put the city in line
with recommendations
from the Government Fi-
nance Officers Association
(GFOA).

port comes from law enforce-
ment agencies. Not all calls for
