1.1 0 1 Board of Commissioners Page Two. September 13, 1985 Question; Can the ordinance be written so that it is clear that licenses obtained under it are not transferable? Yes. It is already implicit in the draft ordinance that transferability is not permitted. Making this point explicit is easily accomplished. Question: Is it necessary for license applicants to present fingerprints as part of the application process? We have determined that a positive identification of a person with a criminal record can only be determined through the State police information network by the use of fingerprints. Furthermore, the regulations and policies of the State of North Carolina governing the use of the State police information network for the purpose of local licensing requirements require confirmation of a criminal conviction record by the use of fingerprints. In other words, Orange County could not use the State system for determining criminal convictions without fingerprints of those being checked if it intends to use the existence of a criminal conviction as a basis for denying a license. The Board therefore must require fingerprints if it wants to condition licensing on the applicant having no convictions of the crimes listed in the draft ordinance. Alternatively, this requirement for licensing can be removed in which case fingerprints would be unnecessary. The change to the ordinance detailed in the Manager's recommendation as new Section 1-4 (D) accomplishes, in the least intrusive manner we could devise, the positive identification needs of the licensing requirements.
