Recommended motion: That the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance amending Municipal Code Section 5.04.525, Subsection C, Retail Food Merchants, together with such resolution as may be appropriate, to raise the business license rate to $60.00, plus .00066, on all dollar value of annual gross receipts in excess of $15,000.00. , _/ ~ /(~/ - -..------- - !

DESCRIPTION) Finance: Cr ....cll Notes: H-0262 Agenda Item No. ~ 7 CITY OF SAN BERNkRDINO - REQUEST FvR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT A survey was conducted recently in the City of San Bernardino to identify the sources that contribute to blight. It was discovered that a major portion of the trash found near bus stops, fences, parkways, and vacant lots consisted of bags, wrappers and various other containers used to carry out food from fast food restaurants, drive through establishments, and other stores with fast food items. Another survey was then conducted of various cities in the surrounding area to determine if they had any means by which to assess carry-out food businesses for the cleanup of trash generated by those types of businesses. No particular assessment practices were identified relative to fast food businesses. However, it was found that eight out of ten cities licensed all retail operations under one retail gross receipt formula. The City of San Bernardino provides a lower retail rate for restaurants, fast food or carry-out food businesses. Since most businesses now included in the retail food category offer some form of carry-out food we propose that Municipal Code Section 5.04.525 subsection C, Retail Food Merchants, be amended to change the license rate from $40.00 plus .00050 on all dollar value of annual gross receipts in excess of $25,000.00, to a license rate of $60.00 plus .00066 on all dollar value of annual gross receipts in excess of $15,000.00. The proposed amendment would change the average license fee paid by these businesses from $194.88 to $271.81 per year. The license fee would fall within the median currently charged by the other cities surveyed. This amendment would increase revenue by $70,000.00 which would be used to offset the cost for cleanup of trash accumulated in the areas pre- viously indicated. 75-0264 .l MAR 28 'ge 14:49 TACO L.

Wilson Assistant to the City Administrator City of San Bernardino Administration Department 300 North "D" Street San Bernardino, California 92418 Dear Fred: Attached, as you requested, please find an update on the efforts of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce Anti-Litter Task Force and its constituent members. Speaking for one of those members, Taco Bell Corporation, we go out of our way to assure an attractive environment in which to do business, not only in San Bernardino, but in all 48 states and seven foreign countries in which we have business locations. It just makes good business sense. We instruct our Restaurant General Managers to keep our properties and adjacent areas free of litter. In one location in San Bernardino, our employees even empty the trash can and clean the bench at a bus stop adjacent to our restaurant! Part of our Restaurant General Managers' bonus is determined through a "Mystery Shopper Program", in which company-employed persons posing as customers visit each location regularly. And one of the categories on which they're judged is litter abatement effort. Further, last year, one of our locations in San Bernardino was nominated for a Beautification Award, and I have been informed that it has won that award. The reason that occurred is because of our insistence and our Restaurant General Managers' commitment to a clean community. @ t i MAR 28 '90 14:50 TACO _L EXECUTIVE P.3 MR. FP51@'lCK A. WILSON page two~- All of the member companies on the Chamber's Anti-Litter Task Porce are working hard to support Mayor Holcomb in his Wu on Blight and believe, as the attachments indicate, we have made substantial progress. We believe we are doing more than our share to take care of this problem. Frankly. if all segments of San Bemudino society were to show the same kind of support for Mayor Holcomb's effortS. make a commitment and put forth a similar effort to clean up the City as have the quickservice restaurant and convenience store sectors, there would be no problem. And that's why a trUly comprehensive program aimed at building consensus that everyone must do their fair share clearly is the best solution. Again, speaking on behalf of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce Anti~Litter Task Force, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity Mayor Holcomb and City Staff have given us to work in a public/private partnership to come up with solid solutions to support the Mayor's efforts, and we look forward to continuing our pursuit of a fair, equitable, comprehensive long-term solution. Should you have any questions, please call me at (714) 863-4679. Thank you. Sincer::.6 ~T-W. PHILLIPS Attachments cc: Anti-Litter Task Force Sam Catalano, Chairman, More Attractive Community Fdn.

February 14, 1990 Bob Phillips Mail Drop 1008 17901 Von Karman Irvine, CA 92714 Thank you for the opportunity to be involved with the Anti-Litter Task Force. At Circle K we feel it is our duty and responsibility to maintain not only a clean environment inside our stores but also the outside areas of our store. We have outside landscape service. who maintain a certain number ot our locations and part ot the aqreement is to pick up any litter present at the time ot service. Our sales people are instructed to thoroughly walk the outside perimeter of their stores on every shitt and pick up all litter, this includes adjoining vacant lots. In some instances we hire outside people to clean up lots even though the litter is not necessarily that of Circle K. Our Zone Managers are instructed to visually monitor all outside perimeter of their stores at every visit and to clean up any litter they encounter. As Division Manager I personally go out to store. and reiterate the importance of a clean environment tor our customers to the store manager. My District Managers do monthly inspection reports of their store. which include the outside perimeter of the store. The inspection is used to reward those that do a good job and to help correct deticiencies in stores that are not maintained as timely as we want. r propose that decals be made available to all businesses reflecting the "Keep America Clean" campaign. These decalS can be placed on outside trash containers, gasoline islands and inside at the sales counter. PurChasing the decals in bulk would result in a savings and then the decals can be distributed to the businesses. I look forward to seeing you on March 6th.
