Under the City of Palo Alto Business Registry Program (Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 4.60), Palo Alto businesses are required to annually register and submit an application for a business registration certificate, together with payment of a registration fee, which is currently $50. In compliance with state law, the City also collects with each business certificate application a $4 fee to support the Certified Access Specialist (CASp) program. SECTION 2. Due to the substantial detrimental impacts on businesses in Palo Alto resulting from the ongoing coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, state of emergency and economic contraction, the Council desires to waive payment of the business registration fee by businesses that submit registrations by the due date of July 15 and are otherwise in compliance with PAMC Chapter 4.60. SECTION 3. The City Council hereby authorizes and approves the waiver of the 2022 business registration fee for businesses that register by July 15. This waiver applies only to the $50 registration fee and not to the $4 state-mandated CASp fee which remains due and payable with each application. SECTION 4. The City Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to return or reimburse any payments of the business registration fee already made by businesses for 2022. SECTION 5. The City Council hereby authorizes and approves the establishment of late payment fees for business registrations that are made after August 15. / / / / / / DocuSign Envelope ID: C6EC17BE-002B-49D2-8ABC-E8E4604AA87E 20210517 tlh 0140217 SECTION 6. The Council finds that the adoption of this Resolution does not meet the definition of a project under Section 21065 of the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, no environmental impact assessment is necessary.
