AN ORDINANCE
PROVIDING FOR VARIOUS EDITORIAL
AND TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO THE
ELGIN MUNICIPAL CODE, 1976, AS AMENDED
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS
Section 1. That Section 6.42.160 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976, as amended,
entitled “Record of Transactions” be and is hereby further amended to read as follows:
VOLUME LXXVIII JANUARY 23, 2013
35
“6.42.160: RECORD OF TRANSACTIONS:
Throughout the term of the license, every pawnbroker shall report/upload to
LeadsOnline, or the city’s current electronic reporting system, the below listed
information for each and every transaction conducted during each day they were open for
business by the end of that business day. All information shall be recorded in the English
language.
A transaction shall consist of all articles brought into a pawnbroker for sale, barter, trade,
pledge or pawn by an individual (pawner/seller) at the same time and date, and includes
the sale of non-junk/scrap articles by a pawnbroker or secondhand dealer to another
person. Non-junk/scrap articles purchased by a pawnbroker from another business shall
not be considered to be transactions for the purposes of this section, and are exempt from
the reporting requirements of this section, and are also exempt from the waiting period
established under Section6.42.190. Articles brought into a pawnbroker by an individual
(pawner/seller) for sale, barter, trade, pledge or pawn at different times on the same date
by the same person shall be considered as separate transactions, regardless of how short
the difference in time is between those transactions. Separate transactions, either from
the same person or different persons, shall not be combined and reported collectively.
A. Transactions involving individually identifiable articles.
1. Purchases/receipts by licensees. Each individually identifiable
article brought in to a pawnbroker by an individual (pawner/seller) for sale, barter,
or trade during a single transaction shall be itemized separately. Licensees shall
not lump such articles together, but must provide a complete and thorough
description of each item to include the following:
a. Type of article
b. Brand name/make/manufacturer (if applicable).
c. Model number (if applicable).
d. Serial number (if applicable).
e. Color/finish.
f. Any other identifying marks, writing, engraving, etc.
2. A digital photograph(s) shall be taken of each individually identifiable
article, sufficiently detailed to allow reasonable identification of the article. The digital
photograph(s) shall capture any identifying numbers, marks, writing, engraving, etc., or
any other distinguishing characteristics.
3. A photographic or scanned image of a photo ID card of the
pawner/seller, sufficiently clear to allow the information on the ID to be read.
The photo ID must be a currently valid (not expired) card issued by a government
entity of the United States, and must include the seller’s first and last name,
current address, date of birth, and physical descriptors. If the seller is selling on
behalf of a company or business, the name, address, and telephone number of
such company or business shall also be recorded/reported.
JANUARY 23, 2013 VOLUME LXXVIII
36
4. The date and time of the transaction.
5. A signed statement of the person from whom the property was
obtained that he or she is over eighteen (18) years of age and the legal owner of
same clear of all attachments and with the legal right to sell.
B. Transactions involving non-individually identifiable articles.
1. Non-individually identifiable articles may be recorded/reported in bulk,
but must specify the weight, type and form of the bulk material.
2. Each different type and form of non-individually identifiable
articles brought in to a pawnbroker by an individual for sale, barter, or trade
during a transaction shall be associated with the person who brought the material
in.
3. A photographic or scanned image of a photo ID card of the
pawner/seller, sufficiently clear to allow the information on the ID to be read.
The photo ID must be a currently valid (not expired) card issued by a government
entity of the United States, and must include the seller’s first and last name,
current address, date of birth, and physical descriptors. If the seller is selling on
behalf of a company or business, the name, address, and telephone number of
such company or business shall also be recorded/reported.
4. A digital photograph or, if the licensee has a video system, video
segment of each individual type & form of bulk material purchased by the
licensee shall be linked to the record of that transaction in LeadsOnline or the
city’s current electronic reporting system.
5. The date and time of the transaction.
6. A signed statement of the person from whom the property was
obtained that he or she is over eighteen (18) years of age and the legal owner of
same clear of all attachments and with the legal right to sell.
C. Coins and paper money.
1. Purchases/receipts by licensees.
a. Coins have no distinguishing characteristics that separate
them from other coins of the same mintage, and although paper money is
serial numbered, those serial numbers are so seldom known by their last
possessor that paper money is effectively indistinguishable from other
paper money of the same denomination. Furthermore, unlike coins made
of precious metals, paper money seldom carries any value significantly
VOLUME LXXVIII JANUARY 23, 2013
37
beyond the face value of the bill, and when stolen is usually used directly
as cash and not sold to a currency dealer. Accordingly, coins or paper
money brought in by an individual (pawner/seller) for sale, barter, or trade
during a single transaction do not need to be itemized individually, but
rather may be recorded/reported in bulk.
b. Coins or paper money brought in to a pawnbroker by an
individual (pawner/seller) for sale, barter, or trade during a transaction
shall be associated with the person (pawner/seller) who brought the article
in. The licensee shall record/report the following information for each
such transaction:
i. The name, current address and date of birth of the pawner/seller.
ii. A digital photographic or scanned image of a
photo ID card of the pawner/seller, sufficiently clear to allow the
information on the ID to be read. The photo ID must be a
currently valid (not expired) card issued by a government entity of
the United States, and must include the seller’s first and last name,
current address, date of birth, and physical descriptors.
iii. The date and time of the transaction.
iv. The quantities and types of coins or paper money
present. If coins are all of the same type, they shall be reported by
either quantity or weight, and type (e.g., 5 Morgan silver dollars,
25 buffalo nickels, 5 lbs. of wheat pennies, etc.). If coins are from
a collection, a description of the theme of the collection (e.g.,
Bicentennial coins, state quarters, etc.) along with the number of
coins shall be provided. If coins represent an accumulation of
disparate coins with no overall theme, a generic description of the
type and quantity of coins shall be provided (e.g., approximately
200 U.S. coins of miscellaneous dates & denominations,
approximately 100 foreign coins from various countries, etc.).
Paper money shall be reported by quantity and type (e.g., 25 U.S.
$5 silver certificates, etc.).
v. A signed statement of the person from whom the
property was obtained that he or she is over eighteen (18) years of
age and the legal owner of same clear of all attachments and with
the legal right to sell.
2. As a photograph of coins or paper money conveys no more
information than can be obtained from the written descriptions required by
Paragraph 3 (A)(II)(d) of this section, no photographs of coins or paper money are
required.
JANUARY 23, 2013 VOLUME LXXVIII
38
In the event the electronic reporting system malfunctions or is otherwise not
operational, the licensee shall, at all times during such malfunction or non-
operation, be required to keep written records of any and all transactions made
during the period of malfunction or non-operation, to include all information
required by this section. These written records shall be reported/uploaded to
LeadsOnline, or the city’s current electronic reporting system, as soon as
practicable after the electronic reporting system is functional. No such written
records shall be erased, mutilated or changed. Written records shall be open and
available for review upon request by the city treasurer or any peace officer during
regular business hours."
Section 2. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the
provisions of this ordinance be and are hereby repealed to the extent of any such conflict.
Section 3. That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its
passage and publication in the manner provided by law.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Elgin finds that such property maintenance
efforts are critical to maintaining property values and promoting economic development; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that obsolete signs, more specifically sign copy

WHEREAS, written application has been made to amend the Elgin Zoning Ordinance to
require the removal of such obsolete sign copy; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing concerning the

entitled “Definitions” be and is hereby further amended by adding in alphabetical order an

“T. Obsolete Copy: Notwithstanding the nonconforming provisions of this
Chapter 19.50, all obsolete copy shall be removed within 30 days of the
discontinuance of the activity which is the subject of said copy. Compliance with
the requirement to remove obsolete copy is not satisfied by reversing (i.e. turning
such copy so that it faces inward), rotating, altering, covering, or otherwise hiding
or obfuscating such copy. In the case of obsolete copy upon panels within a street
graphic frame, such panels shall be removed and replaced with a blank panel or
panel with lawful copy. Similarly, no street graphic frame shall remain unfilled
or allow any internal part or element of the street graphic structure to be visible,
rather such frames shall contain a blank panel or panel with lawful copy.
Notwithstanding the requirement in this section to remove obsolete copy, the
development administrator upon written application from the property owner may
authorize obsolete copy to remain on a street graphic located on a property within
the CC1 or CC2 center city zoning districts, or on a property within a designated
historic district or upon a designated historic landmark, upon a written finding by
the development administrator that the obsolete copy conforms to at least one of
the guidelines for retaining historic signs listed within the most recent version of
Preservation Brief No. 25, ‘The Preservation of Historic signs’ issued by the
National Parks Service, U.S. Department of Interior.”
