As a result, local businesses have <br />experienced tremendous financial hardships. The City has recognized <br />these negative impacts and has proposed the expiration date's <br />extension for local licenses and taxes from October 1, 2020 to <br />February 1, 2021. Therefore, eliminating the penalties imposed to <br />businesses that have their local licenses and taxes past due. During <br />this fiscal year (2020-2021) businesses have the opportunity to renew <br />their local licenses and taxes until February 1, 2021 without incurring <br />any penalties. <br />Code enforcement action will resume after February 1, 2021 for local <br />businesses that have not renew their local licenses and taxes. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Description <br />Resolution <br />Item Number: 10.B. <br />
