3-1A-2: PURPOSE:

The City finds that public health, safety, and welfare require that certain occupations and businesses within the City be regulated without restraining, burdening, or over-regulating the businesses or occupations. The City issues a license pursuant to this article and the regulated business' pertinent licensing in this title, to assure, as is reasonably practicable, that each person and business licensed in accordance with this title is in substantial compliance with these minimum standards and procedures. The issuance of a license pursuant to this article, however, does not constitute a representation of any affirmance to any person who transacts business with a person or business licensed pursuant to this article that said licensee is free from risk. The City shall not be liable for nor shall a cause of action exist for any loss or damage based upon the failure of any person or business licensed under this article to meet the standards contained herein. (Ord. 2-26, 2-10-2026)
