Pursuant to EHB 2005, there are mandatory changes to city business licensing ordinances which must be in place on or before January 1, 2019. The Council Economic Development Committee forwarded the proposed changes to City Council for consideration.
The changes are outlined with explanations in the attached memo along with the following documents:
a. Redlined version of 5.52.020 which changes the definition of "engaging in business" as mandated by state law.
b. Redlined version of 5.52.040 which adds a section that specifies the minimum threshold for out-of-city businesses as mandated by state law (staff's recommendation to choose Option 2).
c. Redlined version of 5.52.050 which removes the exemption based on hours worked and changing it to an exemption based on minimum monetary thresholds for consistency with YMC 5.52.040.
d. AWC short sheet "Final city business license model threshold".
e. Proposed ordinance adopting the changes to YMC Chapter 5.52. |
