Licensing By-Law
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council pass the licensing by-law listed on tonight's agenda.
BACKGROUND:
ByIlaW 76-102 is a byilaw respecting the issuance of business licences in the City of Niagara Falls.
Businesses which require a licence to operate within the City are contained in Schedules to the by-
law. For example, amusement places, camping establishments, pawn bre,kers, public halls and
restaurants are some of the businesses which require a licence to operate in Niagara Falls.
Subsection 24(3) of the Savings and Restructuring Act, 1996 (Bill 26) states that, unless re-enacted,
a by-law of a local municipality licensing a business under any Act expires on January 30, 2001.
If By-law 76-102 is not m-enacted, or a new licensing by-law enacted in its place, the Municipality
would be without a licensing by-law effective January 31, 2001. This is a result which will be
avoided with the enactment of the proposed licensing by-law listed at the end of the agenda.

An ongoing review of business licensing will continue between the Clerk's and Legal Departments
to ensure the licensing by-law remains current and up-to-date as business conditions change in the
City.
