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.
