STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Business License fees, with the exception of vending machines, were last increased
in 1988. During this period the salaries and other administration costs have increased
substantially.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached ordinance which will increase most licenses by $20.00 per year.
Staff further recommends that the Council direct staff to pursue a complete rewrite of
the business license ordinance. This rewrite would include updating the language,
enforcement and fee schedules. This rewrite would be pursued utilizing an advisory
panel from business, such as the Chamber of Commerce.
ANALYSIS
The City has over 16,500 licenses and generate about ($808,OOO. Our average license
fee is $56.00 per year. The average annual fee for cities of 100,000 to 250,000
population is $172.00. The average business license fee for Orange County is $96.00.
The proposed increase would generate approximately $320,000 revenue annually.
FUNDING SOURCES
1) Take no action.
2) Change proposed fees to some different amount.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
3/aS/ ' ��/97
Date March 25, 1991
Submitted to: City Council
Submitted by: Michael T. Uberuaga, City Administrator ,_,
Prepared by: Donald L. Watson, City Treasurer--
Subject: Business License Fee Increase
Consistent with Council Policy? [x] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception
Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Business License fees, with the exception of vending machines, were last increased
in 1933. During this period the salaries and other administration costs have
increased substantially.
RECOMME„DATION
Recommend that Council review and direct staff to bring back for City Council action
on April 1, 1991 to adopt the attached Ordinance which will increase most licenses
by $20.00 per year.
ANALYSIS
The City has over 16,500 licenses and generate about $808,000. Our average license
fee is $56.00 per year. The average annual fee for cities of 100,000 to 250,000
population is $172.00 The average business license fee for Orange County is $96.00.
The proposed increase would generate approximately $320,000 revenue annually.
FUI'JDING SOURCES
1) Take no action.
2) Change proposed fees to some different amount.

Le\
PI O 5/85
June 7, 1990
TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DON WATSON, CITY TREASURER
SUBJECT: TITLE 5 BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATIONS
Our Business License Ordinance needs to be updated and rewritten. The basic
ordinance was written in 1960 and has' been modified and patched for the past
30 years. The basic ordinance still refers to the City Clerk as the
responsible official although that has not been the case for many years.
The ordinance states that it was enacted solely to raise revenue for municipal
purposes and is not intended for regulation.
Our ordinance is written with the fees embedded in the various sections. Any
adjustment of the fees requires a major effort to update the ordinance. The
fees should be separated and set annually by resolution or through an
automatic adjustment of the CPI(Consumer Price Index) .
The ordinance needs to be updated to address such things as Swap Meets and
rental of boat slips. The ordinance states it is basically for raising
revenue and not regulation but we need to clarify how to handle applicants
applying for boiler room(telephone solicitation) operations, door to door
canvassing, sidewalk vendors, physical therapists, massage technicians,
singing telegrams, and psychic healing to name a few. All businesses signing
contracts and receiving fees from the City should have a business license.
We should have language that would enable us to withhold renewal of a business
• license when the applicant has refused to pay the City for valid charges for
such things as excessive false alarms and hazardous material violations.
In regard to revenue, the basic fee of $25.00 was established in 1960. In
1970 the basic fee was increased to $37.50 and in 1988 it was increased to
$45.00. Neither of these increases have kept pace with the effects of
inflation. For instance, if the $37.50 fee established in 1970 had been
increased annually by the CPI, the basic fee would now be $130.00.
We have gathered, data from 88 cities concerning their business license fees.
We have added the population figures the State Controller uses in
apportionment of revenues. These reports reflect the average fee per
license. For instance while the basic fee for Huntington Beach is $45.00, the
average fee is $56.00. .
PAGE TWO
Survey Summary Average Licenses
All 88 Cities $306.00
Cities over 250,000 population 462.00
Cities under 250,000 population 161 .00
Cities between 100,000 and 250,000 172.00
Cities in Orange County 96.00
Huntington Beach 56.00
Only 5 cities out of the 88 have a lower per license fee than Huntington Beach.
It should be noted that of the 16,736 licenses in Huntington Beach, 13,595 are
for $45.00 or less. A distribution of fees is attached.
One additional report is attached which is somewhat outdated but is perhaps
indicative of where Huntington Beach stands in relation to 22 other Charter
Cities with a population over 100,000. This report was issued by the State
Controller and for the fiscal year 1987/1988 shows the percentage of the
general fund each City received from business license fees.
22 Cities 4.28%
Statewide 5.80%
Huntington Beach 1 .49%
In our proposed budget for 1990/1991 this drops to 1 .01%.
Besides the low revenue produced by our present business license and that it
is patched and outdated, we need to examine its equity and administrative ease.
There are three major factors on which most business licenses are based:
Gross Receipts
Flat Rate
Number of Employees
Frequently some combination of these methods are used. Our system is
primarily based on a minimum fee and number of. employees. While this is
relatively easy to administer, it is not particularly equitable.
We charge the same for a barber as for a brain surgeon. We penalize a small
business because the rate per employee is less after the first three. Having
a large number of employees does not necessarily equate to profitability.
A system based on gross receipts is somewhat more equitable. By assigning
each business to a class, a different rate can be established for each. This
rate can be assigned based on profitability of each class. Common categories
include:
Retailing Rental of Property
Wholesaling Services
Manufacturing Professionals
Contractors Miscellaneous .
•
PAGE THREE
Gross receipts are now being used by the majority of cities: It is somewhat
more difficult to administer.
To insure that revenues from business licenses keep pace with the economy many
cities are tying their rates to the CPI or other economic indicators.
To implement a completely revamped business license will require time to
study, design, communicate with the business community, program the necessary
information systems, order forms. and train. We do not have the staff and
expertise in house to accomplish all this. The cost of a consultant to
provide this service would be about $30,000.
In the interim, Council could direct an increase in our base fee. This could
be implemented relatively easy. For instance, based on the following
increases, the City could increase revenues as shown:
Increase Estimated Revenue
$10.00 $160,000
25.00 400,000
50.00 800,000
75.00 1,200,000
We are in the process of modifying the business license data base so that we
can comply with State requirements. We are trying to do this with our present .
staff and the assistance of a part time temporary. These modifications will
enable us to share information with the State Board of Equalization.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. ,
