Polk County News 10A Polk County Itemizer-Observer • February 1, 2017 Business: Lawson proposes a possible compromise Continued from Page 1A Committee Chairwoman Kelly Gabliks said she’s supportive of the purpose behind the business registration. “This is not a license; this is not trying to be a moneymak- er,” she said. “The idea is once you came to town, the first place you would go is the city to register the business so we could make sure that you had all the information you need- ed.” She said new business owners would receive information on city zoning and sign code, future changes being considered, and information on facade grants and loans. The city could also collect contact information and find out whether hazardous materials are stored at businesses. Questions arose about whether the same information is gathered by the state through business licenses or if fire de- partment had the staff to col- lect contact and fire safety information. City officials said the answer is no on both counts. Gabliks Co m m i t t e e member Jackie Lawson offered a compromise: making the reg- i s t ra t i o n mandatory for new businesses but voluntary for those al- Lawson ready open. “That way we have something versus noth- ing,” she said. She said paying $10 per year — the renewal fee — and have advertising online through the registration would be appeal- ing to businesses. POLICE REPORT Information for the police report comes from law enforcement agen- cies. Not all calls for service are in- cluded. The status of incidents report- ed may change after further investi- gation. Individuals arrested or sus- pected of crimes are considered inno- cent until proven guilty. — DALLAS Arrests/Citations Chad D. Chitwood, 25, of Sheridan, on SW Leven St. on Thursday on charges of misdemeanor driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless endangering – simple assault. Keven S. Gandy, 35, of Grand Ronde, at the corner of SE Lyle and Washington sts. on Friday on charges of misde- meanor DUII and reckless endanger- ing — simple assault. Wade W.

Jesus Gerardo Najar, 18, of Independ- ence, in the 700 block of S. Fifth St., on Jan. 24 for second-degree criminal tres- pass. Government And with the change it be- comes the business owner’s choice to participate. “I think you would have much better buy-in if it became a choice,” Lawson said. “You would find that most people would want to participate versus being told they have to. I would say that is probably your biggest obstacle.” City Attorney Lane Shetterly said he would draft a new busi- ness registration ordinance re- flecting those changes for the committee to review at its next meeting in March.
