Item to be presented by: Carmen Magana
DATE: July 13, 2010
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE
ADOPTING BY REFERENCE TITLE 7 OF THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY CODE PERTAINING TO BUSINESS LICENSING
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
City Council conduct a public hearing, and adopt an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, AMENDING AND
RESTATING CHAPTER 5.02 OF TITLE 5 OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
MUNICIPAL CODE, WHICH ADOPTS BY REFERENCE TITLE 7 OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY CODE PERTAINING TO BUSINESS LICENSING
REGULATIONS. "
2. Adopt a resolution establishing a schedule of business license fees for City services.
BACKGROUND
This Ordinance was introduced, and the first reading was held at the June 22, 2010 City Council
meeting.
On June 8, 2010, the City Council (the Council) discussed agenda item #12, regarding
re -adopting Los Angeles County Title 7 (business license) by reference. The Council motioned
to have the first reading moved to June 22, 2010, to further review the proposed business license
fee schedule. Instead of subjectively adopting the County's business license fee schedule by
reference, the Council has given direction to incrementally increase the City's business license
fee structure over a three-year period to be equivalent to that of the County's fee .structure. Any
fee differences between the City's schedule and the County's schedule of $100 or less will be
cw. w -,7
Adopt D i, 0-�y
fully implemented in fiscal year (FY) 2010/11. Any differences over $100 will be phased in
equal increments over a three-year period to reach the full amount of the most current Los
Angeles County business license fee schedule. It should be noted that the most significant
increases in business license fees resulting from the update to the fee schedule would be borne by
new businesses, as existing businesses would generally only be subject to the license renewal fee,
which fees are much lower to begin with and will not be increased on a percentage basis as much
as the fees associated with the original issuance of a business license.
Council also gave direction for City staff to factor the loss of revenue over the last 16 years for
not remaining current with the County's business license fee schedule. During FY 1993/94
through FY 1998/99, the City's business license fee schedule mirrored that of the County's fee
schedule. In FY 1999/00, the County adjusted their business license fee schedule based on
completing a fee study for full cost recovery of their services. For FY 1999/00, the City's
schedule and the County's schedule began to vary. This difference in the City's schedule
compared to the County's schedule has created a disparity in the amount of revenue to the City's
General Fund. The conservative estimated loss of General Fund revenue to the City for FY
1999/00 through FY 2009/10 is about $890,000. The County has not been able to obtain records
on the past fee schedules and rate increases, and in some cases the files may have been destroyed
due to the retention period expiring.
The City has a formal agreement in effect with the County of Los Angeles (County) to perform
business license permitting consistent with the County Code and the Santa Clarita Municipal
Code (SCMC). In turn, the County of Los Angeles charges the City of Santa Clarita for the cost
of the service provided. These permit revenues are collected from the business license program
users within the City's jurisdiction, based on the original 1994 fee structure that was adopted by
City Ordinace No. 94-10. The County's fee structure is based on the full cost recovery of
providing services related to the issuance of business licenses. No adjustments have been made
to the City's business license permit structure since 1994. However, in order to stay current with
the costs of providing these services, the business license permit structure of the County has been
adjusted several times since 1994. The City is authorized to adopt codes by reference pursuant to
Government Code section 50022.1 and following, including those adopted by the County of
Los Angeles. The City has previously adopted by reference Title 7 of the Los Angeles County
Code pertaining to business licenses by City Ordinance No. 94-10 in 1994; however, this
Ordinance also adopted the County business license fee schedule in effect as of 1994. The City
had not revised such fee schedule since that date; therefore, the City desires to ensure that the
most current version of Title 7 of the Los Angeles County Code is adopted by reference,
including all subsequent amendments to such title, except as such title may be amended by the
City.
As such, staff is recommending, that Chapter 5.02 of Title 5 of the City of Santa Clarita
Municipal Code be amended and restated to read as follows:
"Chapter 5.02
BUSINESS LICENSES
5.02.010 Adoption of Business Licenses, Code
5.02.020 General Amendments
5.02.030 Fees
5.02.010 Adoption of Business Licenses Code
A. Title 7 of the Los Angeles County Code, entitled "Business Licenses," as such title may
be amended from time to time, is adopted by reference as the business licenses code for
the city to the extent applicable to the city, except as amended by this code, or by any
other city ordinance or resolution that supersedes all or any portion of Title 7.
B. At least two copies of the current provisions of Title 7 of the Los Angeles County Code
will at all times be maintained and on file with the office of the City Clerk for use and
examination by the public.
5.02.020 General Amendments
The following amendments are made to Title 7 of the Los Angeles County Code:
A. Whenever "Board of Supervisors" or "Board" is used, it means the Santa Clarita City
Council.
B. Whenever the geographical limits of the County of Los Angeles are used, it means the
geographical limits of the City of Santa Clarita, unless a different geographical area is
clearly indicated by the context.
C. Whenever "County," "County of Los Angeles," or "unincorporated territory of the
County of Los Angeles" is used, it means the City of Santa Clarita, except when referring
to the officer or department responsible for issuing a license or permit, in which case,
such officer or department will continue to mean the applicable officer or department of
the County of Los Angeles.
D. For Chapters 7.04, 7.06, 7.08, 7.10, and 7.12, whenever "license" or "licensee" is used, it
also means and includes "permit" or "permittee."
In accordance with Government Code Section 50022.3, public notice has been duly given, and a
copy of the proposed County Ordinance to be adopted by reference was made available for public
inspection in the City Clerk's office no less than 15 days prior to the public hearing.
5.02.030 Fees
All references to business license or permit "fees" in Title 7 of the Los Angeles County Code,
including the fee schedule set forth in Section 7.14.010, will refer to the applicable business
license or permit fees established by city council resolution."
Because the proposed ordinance adopts another code by reference, State law requires that the
City Council schedule a public hearing on the ordinance after the first reading. The public
hearing can occur in conjunction with the second readiq of the ordinance. Pursuant to
Government Code 50022.3, the notice of the public hearing must be published once a week for
two successive weeks, with at least five days intervening between the respective publication
dates. In addition, the City Clerk is required to keep on file a certified copy of the County
Ordinance to be adopted by reference for at least 15 days before the public hearing, as well as
b
after its adoption. The revised ordinance and adjusted fees will become effective 30 days after
final passage.
Staff has been in contact with the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce to discuss this
item.
Staff is assessing the existing structure for issuing business licenses and is evaluating additional
avenues to streamline the process for businesses. The overarching goal is to provide better
service to the City's customers and to supply the City with vital information regarding the
business. Staff will be bringing forward an item for City Council consideration after the summer
break to further discuss the business license process.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Business License Program is estimated to increase annual General Fund revenue by
approximately $30,000. Revenues will be reviewed at midyear during Fiscal Year 2010/11, and
any appropriate adjustments will be recommended at that time.
