CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS

COUNCIL POLICY

Section 277.1 of the Vancouver Charter gives Council the power to delegate the holdingof a business license hearing under section 275 or section 278, or an appeal under section 277, by Resolution, to one or more Council Members. On November 30, 1999, Council adopted a procedure relating to business license hearings whereby the hearings will generally be conducted before a panel of three Members of Council, although Council may designate that a hearing be conducted before a panel comprised of a greater number of Members of Council.

BACKGROUND

One business license application has been referred to Council by the Chief License Inspector pursuant to section 4(2a) of the License By-law, for hearings pursuant to section 275 of the Vancouver Charter in the month of March, 2000. The application is as follows:

The application by Samad Ali Rasulli and Fatima Rassuli, doing business as Diamond Fast Foods Ltd., is presently scheduled for hearing on March 7, 2000, from 9:30 to 12:30, and, if another hearing date is required, to be continued on March 27, 2000, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The new amendment to the Vancouver Charter confers on Council the power to delegate the holding of business license hearings to one or more Members of Council. Council must designate, by Resolution, Members of Council who will deal with each specific hearing. The attached Resolution will delegate the holding of the hearing in the month of March to three named Members of Council.

CONCLUSION

Staff recommend that Council pass the Resolutions contained in this report.
