BACKGROUND: Chapter 8 governs the County business license requirements, taxes, and fees, as well as those for alcoholic beverage sales and going-out-of-business sales.
On April 17, 2019, the Board adopted an ordinance to amend Chapter 8, to reorganize the chapter to more closely conform to controlling State law, as well as other changes, one of which was to create separate articles for business licenses and other licenses, to clarify that businesses serving alcoholic beverages are required to obtain both business licenses and alcohol licenses. This ordinance would make alcoholic beverage license filings and payments subject to the same deadlines as those for business licenses.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission - To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all community members through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: The County Attorney's Office has prepared the attached ordinance (Attachment A) to add language to Chapter 8 that will apply the same deadlines to alcohol beverage license filings and payments as for business licenses.
BUDGET IMPACT: This amendment is not anticipated to have an impact on expected revenues.
