COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: CAP on Business License Taxes Community Development Director Zamora submitted staff s analysis on fiscal impact to the budget if a CAP to the City's business license tax was implemented. Director Zamora cautioned that a CAP on the business license tax would result in a significant loss in revenue for the City, which would have immediate and significant impact on the present fiscal budget and each year thereafter. Staff recommended that Council continue with the existing method and that there be no change to the current ordinance. If Council elected to implement a CAP, Director Zamora recommended that the CAP be set at $10,000, in an effort to minimize the loss to anticipated revenue for the City. CM Hutton, seconded by CM Sandoval, moved to continue the item until mid -year budget for review and reconsider it if necessary and it was also moved to refer this item to the Blue Ribbon Committee for a report for mid -year review.
