Councilman Alexander dissenting. SCHEDULED ITEMS Director of Finance Craig addressed Council stating that when Center Stationers relocated to a different location, due to a change of address, and a computer problem, their business license was dropped from the computer systerm, which resulted in non-payment of the business license fee for three years. The amount totaled $900.00, of which $600.00 has been paid, but, the owner wishes a waiver of the balance. Staff recommends against any waiving of business license fees in the City. Mr. Chiman Rotecha, owner of Center Stationers addressed Council requesting that the prior business license fee balance be waived due to the economy as well as the various problems that occurred creating the delinquency. He voiced his opinion regarding the unfairness of the situation. Discussion was held between Councilmembers, staff and Mr. Rotecha pertaining to the details of the issue. Schad.
