CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETZNG OF Decemberl9? 1972
Item Title : FOrd•inancec�o:d14343Ging - Ordinance Adding Sect. 18. 73 to
Chapter 18 of the City Code Relating to Licensing of all
: Persons Engaged in Business of Selling Subscriptions for
Pay Television- Second reading and adoption
Initiated by: City Attorney
Attached is a copy of Resolu'tion ( ] Ordinance (XX7 �_areemenr � 1 P1at ( ]
Backgrnund:.
Council has expressed concern in discussions of the amendment to
the franchise of Mission Cable TV over the revenues that might be
derived from the operation of pay television. �It was suggested by
the City Attorney' s Office that this matter could best be handled
through the business license procedure .
An ordinance has been prepared establishing a license fee of $250. 00
per annum plus 5� of gross receipts, payable semi-annually.
Zt is not expected that this operation will come into being for
several months, but I would recommend that the ordinance be adopted
as soon as Council deems it advisable. It should be noted that this
is the only business that is being taxed on gross receipts, but it
is the opinion of the City Attorney' s Office that such a classification
would be appropriate. 'It may be that in the near future the entire
business license ordinance , which is being revised, would relate to
gross receipts rather than flat fees as it is at present.
