DEC 10 1W 800K FAr� 4. It shall be the duty of every person taking over or purchasing an existing business which is=required to be licensed under this chapter to notify the tax collector of the county within thirty (30) days, and upon failure to do so the person shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction tnereOT snall De flnec no more than one hundred'dollars ($100.00) or -confined in the county jail for not more than six (6) months, or both, in the discretion of the court. Section 207.06 Issuance of license; compliance with state laws No license shall be Issued until a.11 applicable state laws are complied with, including, but not limited to required licensing and qualification standards. Section.207.07 Making false statement in application or license Any person who, in applying to the tax collector for a license based upon capacity-, number of persons employed, or any other contingency, shall make a false statement of capacity, number of person employeed, or other contingency, shall be eme of latio f a county ordinance and SUbfeCt to penalties provided therein. Attorney O'Brien felt those provisions and the penalty provision on the final page of the ordinance could be deleted if the Board wished since we have a general provision in Section 100.05 for any violation of Indian River County Code He advised that the only state requirements here are the amount of money you can charge, and we cannot change that. The last increase in charges was in 1986. The Board agreed on the deletion of the misdemeanor and violation language in Sections 207.05 and 207.07 and the deletion of Section 207.106 in its entirety. Chairman Bird asked how we handle attorneys in -the licensing of professionals, and Attorney Vitunac explained that each attorney pays a charge and if there is a corporation, the corpor- ation pays a charge. In other words, if there are 20 attorneys in a corporation, there would be 21 licenses, the same as doctors. The question is whether a doctor must pay two fees if the office gets down to only one doctor. In the case of real estate offices, just the real estate broker pays the fees, not the real estate agents. Commissioner Scurlock felt we need to be consistent if we are charging professionals, and wondered why realtors would not be included. Y�!
