Re: Currency Exchange Application
Council Action Re nested:
Order a public hearing for November 19, 2007 to consider approving a renewal of a currency
exchange license for Wal-Mart.
Background Information:
The City has received an application from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, from Wal-
Mart to renew their currency exchange business at the Hastings location. While currency
exchange is not specifically addressed in our code book, MN State Statute 53A.04 (s) requires
that a local jurisdiction hold a public hearing and-adopt a resolution either approving or denying
the request. There is no corresponding City license or fee that goes along with this request.
Following a public hearing, should the Council choose to approve this request, the appropriate
resolution and supporting paperwork will be sent up to the State Department of Commerce.
The Council first approved the license in 2003 and has renewed the license the last few years.
Prior to that, the Council approved a similar request in 1994 for Dakota Currency Exchange to
operate at 275 West 33rd Street.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know
