A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO. 1875 AND ADOPTING A
REVISED BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE.
WHEREAS, the City has analyzed current business license fees; and
WHEREAS, the City has received multiple public comments that the existing
business license and revenue generating regulatory license (RGRL) fee calculation
based on full-time equivalent (FTE) can be difficult to calculate correctly; and
WHEREAS, calculating the fee by "Employee" rather than FTE will simplify the
calculation process for the public and City staff; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that in the interest of compliance with the state
law (per Engrossed House Bill 2005), to improve current practice and to provide a
simplified fee calculation process for the public and City staff, the City should set its
business license fee pursuant to RCW 35A.82.020 for revenue generating purposes,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Repealer. Resolution No. 1875 is hereby repealed.
Section 2. Fee Schedule. For 2018, Business License fees will be charged
