§ 5.12.040. Required books, accounts and records.

A.

Each licensee shall keep and use in the licensee's business such books, accounts and records as will enable the City to determine whether such licensee is complying with the provisions of this chapter and the provisions of KSA 16-707 through 16-720. The records shall include a register in which the licensee shall enter in writing a minute description of all property taken, purchased or received in the conduct of such business, including any trade name or brand, and including any serial or identification number that may be in or upon any such article, together with the time of the pledge or purchase, and the correct legal name and place of residence, giving street and number, if within the City, of the person selling, pledging, or leaving the property, an accurate description of such person, together with the driver's license number of such person if the same is available and, if not, other similar identification, and the register shall also set forth the amount paid for or loaned upon the property. Such entries shall be made within one hour after the purchase of such property, and entries shall be made in ink, and shall not in any manner be erased, obliterated or defaced. Law enforcement officers of the City and duly designated representatives of the City shall have and be given free access to all such books, accounts, papers, records, files, safes, and vaults for the purpose of inspecting property pledged or purchased, and records relating to those transactions for the purpose of determining if such licensee is complying with the provisions of this chapter and applicable laws of the State of Kansas.

B.

It shall be the duty of every licensee to deliver to the dispatcher or officer in charge of the Larned Police Station, by twelve noon of each business day, a legible and correct copy of the register of all property received or purchased since the date and time covered by the licensee's last such previous register copy. The register copy shall also contain the right thumb print of any person pledging or selling personal property, except when the licensee personally knows such person by his or her correct name.
