Recorder Jodi Walters briefed the council on business license compliance, reporting that 75 business licenses have been issued, two applications are pending because payment was received without paperwork, and about 34 businesses listed on the 2025–26 roster have not submitted applications. She advised legal follow-up and recommended the city attorney draft a letter outlining ramifications for noncompliance.
Walters told the council, "Everyone has until July 1, 2026 to submit their paperwork." She noted the list of noncompliant businesses included Main Street Diner, Mama's Brick Oven Pizza Place, Shades Bar, Drake's, both thrift stores, some food trucks, Subway, Smoker Friendly, Pioneer Auto Wash and several out-of-county businesses. The Recorder also asked for a reminder to be published in the Democrat. The minutes do not record a formal vote on enforcement steps; Walters’ recommendation to involve the city attorney was recorded as a staff recommendation for follow up.
