Second Reading Ordinances-
1. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3013-2017
An Ordinance amending Chapter 9, “Body Art Code,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, by repealing said chapter in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Chapter 9, “Body Art Code,” relating to the same subject matter.
Explanation: The Moline Code of Ordinances currently prohibits a convicted felon from obtaining a body art technician license and a body art establishment license. Per resident request, City staff has reviewed this prohibition and determined that it is unnecessary. City Council discussed this matter further at the July 11, 2017, Committee-of-the-Whole meeting and directed staff to loosen the restrictions on felons but to also add in the restrictions from the East Moline ordinance as to body art establishments. Upon further review of the Chapter, staff determined other changes should be made to the Code to reflect actual practice and to mirror the State code. This amendment reflects all of these changes. In sum, the changes are:
•Updated the training requirement for body art technicians to reflect the actual training courses required
• Per Council’s direction, revised the technician and establishment license requirements to indicate that a license may be denied for certain or multiple felonies, and drug or alcohol addiction
• Removed the provision for conditional technician and establishment licenses to be issued while awaiting results from background checks
• Reinstituted a license fee for the body art establishment license of $100
• Changed the age from 21 to 18 to obtain a tattoo without parental permission to reflect the Illinois State code requirement
• Revised the Health Officer requirements for the licensing and inspection of body art
• Revised the revocation section as to body art establishment licenses to reflect the East Moline ordinance per Council’s direction
• Amended the penalty provisions to impose a fine of not less than $250 for a first violation of the ordinance, $500 for a second offense and $750 for a third or subsequent offenses
• Made other minor changes

Explanation: Sections 2-2200(a) and (b) of the Moline Code of Ordinances sets forth the days, time and place of the City’s Committee-of-the-Whole and City Council meetings.

4. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3015-2017
An Ordinance amending Chapter 24, “Personnel,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, by repealing Section 24-2202, “Probationary Period,” in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Section 24-2202, “Probationary Period,” relating to the same subject matter; Section 24-2203, “Residency,” by repealing subsections (b)(1), (b)(3) and (b)(6) in their entirety and enacting in lieu thereof new subsections (b)(1), (b)(3) and (b)(6) relating to the same subject matter; and Section 24-2300, “Dismissal,” by repealing subsection (a) in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new subsection (a) relating to the same subject matter.
Explanation: In reviewing the current personnel code as to non-bargaining unit employees, it was noticed that the City’s current practices do not reflect the general employment status given to most non-bargaining unit public employees in other municipalities. This amendment would change the employment status of new nonbargaining unit employees to be at-will and thereby delete the reference probationary periods for those employees as unnecessary and would require the City Clerk to reside in the City.
