Backoround:
On April 20, 1992, Messrs. Jimmy Summers and V. Alan Swensen
appeared before the Mayor and Common Council concerning business
registration fees for commercial properties; more specifically,
condominiums and apartment complexes. The matter was referred to
the Legislative Review Committee (LRC).
April 22, 1992:
LRC continued the item to its next meeting on
May 7, 1992.
May 7, 1992:
City Clerk's staff gave an oral report to LRC
and set forth information relating to
concerns expressed by Messrs. Summers and
Swensen. LRC directed City Clerk's staff to
further review the rate structure and come up
with any recommended changes to MC-700.
On June 18, 1992, Cindy Buechter, Business Registration
Inspector, completed a Residential Rental Rate Analysis and
Report which was submitted to LRC. Changes recommended to be
made to MC-700 included the following:
1.
Require only one business registration

as currently required.
certificate
per building
2. Condominiums: Require only one business registration
certificate for individuals who own and rent four (4)
or more units within the same complex. Less than four
units would require one certificate for each parcel.
3. No changes to rate schedule; or, change gross receipt
schedule to include one lower range.

LRC approved the proposed changes in concept and requested that
the report and recommended changes be presented to the San

thirty days with its final recommendations.
On June 26, City Clerk Krasney, Lee Gagnon, Business Registration

appeared before the Local Governmental Relations Committee of the
San Bernardino Board of Realtors. The Committee verbally

Governmental Affairs Committee of the San Bernardino Chamber of
Commerce and they will be submitting their written comments prior
to the next LRC meeting scheduled on July 23, 1992.
In the meantime, both City Clerk's staff and City Attorney's
staff are working on drafting a proposed ordinance which will
incorporate proposed changes to MC-700.
In light of the fact that the LRC will not meet until July 23,
1992, it is requested that the matters brought forth by Messrs.
Summers and Swensen be continued until the August 3rd Council

Dear Mr. Summers:
I am responding to your letter of March 18, 1992 wherein you
asked to be placed on the City Council agenda for the purpose of
addressing the Council concerning the business registration fees
for commercial rental properties.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding your correspondence to
the City Administrator's Office so that your letter can be placed
on the City Council Agenda for April 20, 1992. The agenda should
be ready for public release on the afternoon of Thursday, April
16. Therefore, I suggest that you call this office, at 384-5102,
on Friday morning, April 17, to find out what agenda number your
item has been designated.
Council meetings begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers of
City Hall, 300 North "D\ Street, San Bernardino; however, I
cannot guarantee exactly what time your item will be heard.
Since the matter you wish to address concerns the fees collected
for commercial rental properties, I thought it might be helpful
to provide you with the enclosed copy of Ordinance No. MC-700.
Adopted in January 1990, the ordinance requires a business
license for leasing for renting residential/commercial. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 384-
5102.
Sincerely,
~~s~'
