CHULA VISTA CITY COWiCIL 6fEETING OF: December 17, 1974
ITEM TITLE: Ordinance - Amending Section 18.58 of the Chula Vista City Code
Relating to Business License Fees Charged to Professional Men -
First Reading and Adoption
I�ITIATED BY: City Attorney
BACKGROUND
For the past several years, there has been a growing practice on the part of
professional men (doctors, lawyers, etc. ) to incorporate and to become, in
effect, employees of the corporation.
Under the terms of the existing business license ordinance, professional men
must pay the sum of $25.00 for their business license. If a corporation is
formed, we are then confronted with the problem of charging the standard
$12.50 fee for that corporate entity, plus $3.00 for every employee of the
corporation. • •
Therefore, the professional people are paying what, in effect, amounts to a
double license fee. Although it is certainly not an extremely high fee or
an onerous burden, there have been many complaints as to the inequities o£
such an arrangement.
It is reco�nended that the license ordinance be amended to clearly provide
that the fee of $25.00 be applicable to the professional man personally and
that the corporation not be required to pay any additional license fee.
