Business License No Longer Required In Lafayette
Recently, it was discovered that Bob Cullen and Don Leard do not have
business license. Don Leard has a car dealer's license and owns
commercial property. Bob Cullen is an unlicensed pool installer. (The
CCB is taking care of that.)
A complaint was filed with the Yamhill County Sheriff's office
advising of the code violation. The YCSO contracts with Lafayette as
our "Chief of Police" and, according to the contract, all code
enforcement is their responsibility.
Sgt. Tim Svenson of the YCSO has advised he was told this was not a
code that was to be enforced. So, we can only assume that this
ordinance is now unenforceable.
Eventually, it should be removed from the Lafayette Code. But, in the
meantime, since it will not be enforced, that frees all the businesses
in Lafayette to avoid that whopping $10.00 charge each year. You could
put it towards your more expensive water charges.
Let me know if you have any questions. I have the entire statement
from YCSO documented, so you can take that to court with you if it
turns out the only people not being required to have the license are
our public officials.
If you don't agree with this, please feel free to come to the next
council meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2008 at 6:30 pm – City Hall.
