of any person that engages in business activities within the city must partner with
either the State by December 31, 2027 or be under contract with Filelocal by July
2020 to have such license issued and renewed.
Next steps include participating in a conference call on June 2L,2OL8, to discuss the
response of the business leaders, adopt a model ordinance on general business
