MEMORANDUM To: The Honorable Carrie M. Austin Chairman, Committee on the Budget and Government Operations From: Rosemary Krimbel Commissioner Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection CC: Maria Guerra Mayor’s Office of Legislative Counsel and Government Affairs Date: Thursday, November 15, 2012 Re: Request for Information from Annual Appropriation Committee Hearing The attached information is in response to questions posed at our department’s hearing on Thursday, October 25th 2012 to discuss the 2013 budget. Alderman Reilly requested data comparing Cease and Desist orders issued for the 17 months when BACP physically participated in CPD’s night missions vs. the following 17 months when BACP’s collaboration with CPD did not include BACP staff being physically present. By providing CPD with access to licensing data and following up on police reports during normal daytime work hours, BACP has increased the number of Cease and Desist orders issued while eliminating the use of overtime and stopping the practice of inserting BACP investigators into dangerous situations for which they are not trained or equipped in the same manner that Police Officers are trained and equipped. The data is below by ward in table format. # C&D’s ISSUED # C&D’s ISSUED WARD 2010-2011 2011-2012 Proco Joe Moreno 1 9 11 Bob Fioretti 2 1 3 Patricia R. Dowell 3 1 0 William D.

In 2012, to date, BACP has not issued any enforcement against street performers, nor has it revoked any street performer’s license.
