CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO — REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject: I
An Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino amending Section 5.04.525(D) of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code and adding Section 5.04.525(H) to the San Bernardino
Municipal Code relating to Business Registration fees based on gross receipts.
Background:
At the direction of the City Manager's Office, the City Clerk's Office analyzed the fiscal
impact of placing a $10,000 cap on business registration fees for motor vehicle sales in the
City of San Bernardino. In August of 2001 a survey of surrounding cities was conducted
relating to fees charged to auto dealerships. Each city was contacted again in August 2006
and the rates have not changed, with the exception of Riverside, whose cap is adjusted
annually according to the CPI. Survey results are attached as Exhibit#1.
Currently, there are 17 businesses categorized as "New Motor Vehicle Sales" and 43
businesses under the category of"Used Motor Vehicle Sales". The 43 businesses selling
used vehicles would not be affected by a $10,000 cap. There would be 9 dealers selling new
vehicles that would be affected should a cap be approved.
It is proposed that the $10,000 cap be adjusted annually, upward or downward, equivalent
to the most recent change in the annual average of the CPI or five percent, whichever is
less. This change would become effective January 1, 2007. An amendment to Resolution
96-168, which sets Business Registration fees, will be brought forward to Council following
the adoption of the proposed Ordinance.
Financial Impact:
Based on business registration fees paid during the last renewal period, business
registration revenue will be reduced by $82,000.
Recommendation:
That said Ordinance by laid over for final adoption.
