Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for City Council consideration is a resolution amending the Comprehensive Fee
Schedule for certain business license user fees on tax-exempt businesses.
Funding Source:
Not Applicable.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Adopt Resolution No. 2009-54 of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
supplementing Resolution No. 2009-31 entitled "A Resolution of the City Council of the City
of Huntington Beach establishing a citywide user fees schedule setting business license
renewal and application fees for tax exempt organizations."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the Resolution.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach charges user fees for providing various services to both
residents and visitors. The city currently exempts certain businesses from paying the
business license tax, though it does still require the business to register and procure a
license. The businesses that are exempt from the tax payment are technically required to
pay either a new application-processing fee or an annual renewal-processing fee, even
though they are exempt from the tax.
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 9/21/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 09-007
This request to amend the citywide user fee schedule will make it clear that a tax-exempt
business operating in the city will not be required to pay a tax, renewal fee, or application fee.
This request impacts about 220 tax-exempt businesses citywide.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Improve internal and external communication.
Environmental Status:
Not Applicable.
