The current ordinance, Yakima Municipal Code 5.01.060(B) and (C), provides two different appeal methods for a person who is appealing their business license revocation/denial, which could create confusion. This is a housekeeping issue to correct the ordinance. Amending the ordinance to provide one avenue for appeal simplifies the process and allows for a clear method to appeal.

The appeal method in the current subsection (B) that is proposed to be removed relates to a taxpayer aggrieved by a fee or tax.  The more appropriate method to appeal is in subsection (C), which is the standard way to appeal a decision of the code administration manager.
