P.eport CD-31-88 - 2 - July 4, 1988
In May 1988, a Member of the Durham Regional Police Department attended at my office
for the purpose of requesting that the Town consider the passing of a by-law to
regulate Second Hand Shops and Dealers in Second Hand Goods. The officer was
advised that the matter had been dealt with a year earlier and tabled in Committee.
Council at the meeting of June 13, 1988, considered correspondence from Chief
Jenkin on the subject of the Licensing of Second Hand Shops and directed "that a
report and a draft by-law be prepared for the consideration of the General Purpose
and Administration Committee."
A copy of the Clerk's previous Report, (CD-1-87) and the draft by-law now amended in
Section 19 to read "thirty days" as the retention period, are attached for the
Committee's information. A new section numbered 28 has also been added to provide
for the implementation of the by-law effective January 1, 1989.
Passage of this by-law will, I am advised, be of great assistance to Durham
Regional Police and its approval is recommended by staff.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for Presentation
