OTTAWA — The Ottawa City Commission approved a new ordinance Wednesday that requires all pay-day loan and title-loan companies to buy $300 city licenses. There are presently 8 in the city. City planning director Wynndee Lee said the new ordinance puts limits on the types of signs such companies use and put limits on how close such companies can be. Those already in existences will be grandfathered in when it comes to to the distance requirements, Lee said.
