Analysis
This ordinance establishes 2 additional factors on which the recommendations of the licensing committee can be based regarding denial, non-renewal, revocation and suspension of home improvement contractor and salesperson licenses. In addition, this ordinance allows for the business address of a home improvement contractor license holder to change one time during the license period, by filing a transfer application. If the business address changes more than once, the license holder shall file an application for a new license with the city clerk.
