If the fee is calculated using number of employees multiplied by a flat fee, the <br />applicant could easily calculate the fee with little effort or error, There would be significantly less <br />misreported hours or loss of revenue. The city would also benefit by having accurate statistics on <br />the number of employees in Tukwila, These statistics are not currently available as the way the <br />fee is calculated leaves room for error and/or omission on numifr-jowl CANO <br />_PAFM*J� <br />1 q" Vie <br />State requires that the application and/or fee should be within the DOR's technical ability to <br />administer, which may not be possible under the current method. <br />Proposed Change to Fee Structure <br />The City is proposing to change the fee structure to $70 for each full-time employee (defined as <br />30 hours or more each week*-Ous !Z50 for ea -ch -cart-tj . . . . . . . 9 '. - f r. -M e. f 6_4 k � koycol a - K- W <br />to increase from $67 to $70 per employee, or approximately 5%. This is equivalent to less than <br />1% increase per year since the business license fee was enacted in 2011. A reduced rate for <br />part-time employees is suggested as a way to minimize the impact to those businesses with <br />significant part-time staffing levels. <br />Update Following July 24, 2017 Committee of the Whole <br />This item was presented at the July 24, 2017 Committee of the Whole for discussion, Regardim <br />111112M MM 0 a aijwy'rlll��* <br />M.
