Further information was provided about the County ' s general policies regarding Equivalent Residential Units and about the particular circumstances of the County accepting back the ERU ' s from Pelican Pointe . 13. F. PAINMANAGEMENT CLINIC ORDINANCE Attorney Polackwich recalled that on July 20 , 2010 , the Board adopted Ordinance 2010 - 016 , providing a twelve -month emergency moratorium on the issuance of business tax receipts (formerly occupational licenses) to pain management clinics, and said that staff had been directed to return with a permanent Ordinance before the moratorium ' s expiration on June 8 , 2011 . He recapped his memorandum of April 4 , 2011 , to point out the primary highlights of the Ordinance , including a requirement for pain clinics to obtain a County permit, and for pharmacies to limit the amount of controlled substances dispensed to no more than 20% of their total monthly prescriptions . He discussed enforcement mechanisms , and told the Board that existing clinics had sixty days in which to apply for the County permit . Attorney Polackwich thereafter requested Board input on the proposed Ordinance . Attorney Polackwich responded to Commissioner Davis ' s questions on what groups have reviewed the Ordinance . Commissioner Davis also sought information for the cost of the County permit, and learned from Attorney Polackwich that the amount would be set by a Rate Resolution of the Board, when the Ordinance is brought back for final approval . Commissioner Davis was concerned about any existing legitimate clinics that may have just paid for a business tax renewal , having the additional expense of getting the County permit .
