Council advances proposed business-license, solicitor ordinance toward vote

Sierra Vista — City staff reported that a proposed amendment to the city's business license and solicitor ordinance, which the council discussed in October, will move into the ordinance phase after an earlier resolution. Ms. Adams (Speaker 5) told the council she had "received absolutely no input, 1 way or another, from the citizens" since the resolution was approved; staff said council concerns had been addressed in the initial review.

Ms. Adams told the council that if the ordinance is adopted at the council's Thursday meeting it would go into the city code and become law 30 days later. The transcript references the ordinance number in garbled form (transcribed as "20 20 five-six"); the meeting record did not provide a clear ordinance number or additional fiscal details in the working-meeting segment.

There was no public testimony recorded on this item during the working meeting and no formal vote reported in the transcript excerpt provided. The item was scheduled to return for the Thursday meeting for final action.
