(SECOND READING) BY ORDER OF J. S. RUSH_ __- ~.~JB~'. ($'GNED~ CLERK S. A. RENNOLDS (SIGNED) PRESIDENT THE COUNCIL MET IN SPECIAL SESSION ON THIS DATE WITH THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS PRESENT: MR. HAGGERTY~ MR. MOUNT~ MR. RENNOLDS, MR. RINEHART AND MR. VOGT. ABSENT: NONE. A REPORT WAS PRESENTED FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE STATING THAT THE REQUEST OF DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTESVlLLE~ INC. TO ALLOW BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSES TO BE PAID QUARTERLY EFFECTIVE WITH THE TAX DUE FOR MAY~ t968 HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN, AND A REQUEST MADE TO CHANGE THE METHOD OF PAYMENT TO QUARTERLY PAYMENTS BEGINNING MAY 1~ 1968,~AND OFFERED THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATION: THE REQUEST HAS BEEN CHANGED TO HAVE US REQUIRE THE LICENSEE TO HAKE TWO PAYMENTS EARLIER THAN THE PRESENT ORDINANCE REQUIRES, NAMELY A PAYMENT IN JANUARY AND APRIL, AND DEFER TWO PAYMENTS INTO A FUTURE BUDGET YEAR. IN OUR OPINION, THIS WOgb~ NOT BE TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE LICENSEE TO MAKE JANUARY AND APRIL PAYMENTS PRIOR TO THE PRESENT DUE DATE~ AND WE DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT MANY OF THE LICENSEES WOULD MAKE USE OF THIS CHANGE. AT THE SAME TIME~ IT IS FELT THAT HUgH CONFUSION COULD RESULT IN BOOKKEEPING AND ADMINISTRATION FOR BOTH THE MERCHANT AND CITY. SINCE THE REQUEST IN NO WAY CREATES A SAVINGS IN TAX TO THE LICENSEE BUT DOES CREATE A HARDSHIP ON THE CITY BY REMOVING APPROXIMATELY ~220,000. FROM THE BUDGET IN THE INITIAL YEAR IF THE INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN WAS USED, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE REQUEST BE DENIED. AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE FOR IMPOSING AND COLLECTING LICENSES AND TAXES FOR THE EXERCISE OF CERTAIN PRIVILEGES WITHIN THE CITY OF CHARLOTTES-' VlLLE FOR TWELVE MONTHS, COMMENCING THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, 1968 AND ENDING THE THIRTIETH DAY OF APRIL, 1969"~ WHICH WAS OFFERED AT THE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL ON MARCH 4, 1968, WAS ADOPTED, AS AMENDED~ BY THE FOLLOWING RECORDED VOTE: AYES: MR.
