No. 594,..~e: Busine,~ License Ordinance Adoption of Ordinance No. 594 Councilman Spiliotopoulos initiated discussion on the above items which were listed as a and b on the Consent Calendar. He strongly objected that the range of fees was not specific enough and needed to be more realistic. He cited the in- stance that Kaiser Sand and Gravel should pay more than $250.00, which is the highest fee, because of the damage to the City's streets and roads that their trucks cause. Councilman Spiliotopoulos also stated that he felt the entire range of fees should be based on a nattower range of gross receipts. Councilman Beratlis stated that he felt the companies with higher gross re- ceipts should accept more of the burden. Councilman Spiliotopoulos requested that this matter be delayed until the staff could determine a more realistic range. Mr. Fales objected to this request by stating that this is a revenue producing ordinance and must be approved now in order for it to become effective July 1, 1970. Discussion ensued regarding the matter of Kaiser's particular operation and Mr. Hirst stated he would provide a legal opinion on whether or not Kaiser Sand and Gravel could be charged a separate rate.
