This chapter is adopted pursuant to authorization in § 134.71,
Wis. Stats.
This chapter shall be known as the "Pawnbrokers and Secondhand
Article and Dealers Ordinance for the Village of Argyle."
All of the terms of § 134.71, Wis. Stats., except
as otherwise provided herein, are expressly incorporated herein and
made a part of this chapter.
As an additional requirement to obtain a license from the Village
to operate as a pawnbroker, secondhand article dealer or secondhand
jewelry dealer, the applicant shall provide a photograph of the applicant.
The photograph shall be kept on file with the Clerk-Treasurer. In
the event an applicant is more than one person or is a corporation,
a photograph of each and every person who is applying or all shareholders,
officers and directors of the corporation shall be provided to the
Village. Additionally, all employees of the applicant shall be photographed
and such photographs provided to the Village Clerk-Treasurer. This
is a continuing obligation, in other words, at the time that the licensed
pawnbroker or secondhand dealer has any new or additional owner, agent,
officer, director or employee, the dealer shall provide a photograph
of the new or additional party to the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
The penalties of § 134.71, Wis. Stats., are also incorporated
herein, except that the Village of Argyle shall be entitled to collect
such penalties as an ordinance forfeiture herein. Additionally, the
failure of a dealer or its owners, officers, directors or employees
to comply with the photograph requirements set forth above shall constitute
a violation of this chapter and subject said persons to the same penalties
as otherwise provided in this chapter.
