RE: Municipal Code - Auctioneers (County Code Title 2, Chapter 4)
and Secondhand Dealers (County Code Title 2, Chapter 5)
In our review of the County Code I , noted we would keep Title 2,
Chapter 4, dealing with auctions and auctioneers. These
provisions are no longer necessary. Business and Professions Code
§ 5700 et seq ( "Auctioneer and Auction Licensing Act") provides
for the licensing of auctioneers by the State. It contains
detailed requirements for licensing, bonding, suspension and
revocation of licenses, etc.
Likewise, it is not necessary to require secondhand dealers to
obtain permits. Business and Professions Code §§ 21625 - 21667
require secondhand dealers to obtain a license from the Chief of
Police. These sections require retention of goods, reporting,
etc. Although a city can enact an ordinance dealing with
reporting, holding or releasing of such goods, such an ordinance
cannot be inconsistent with State law. It does not seem necessary
to me to duplicate the State law.
I would suggest we include a section in the Municipal Code
indicating that auctioneers and secondhand dealers are subject to
State licensing requirements and specifying that any such
businesses must comply with the City Zoning Ordinance. This will
assist City staff and the public in determining what requirements
apply to auctioneers and secondhand dealers. Attached is a
suggested ordinance.
