Resolution No. 9885
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Waiving the 2020
Business Registration Fee (Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 4.60),
and Waiving All Business Registration Late Fees for the 2020
Collection Cycle
The Council of the City of Palo Alto hereby DECLARES as follows:
SECTION 1. 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 and state of emergency,
including the effects of the Shelter in Place public health orders still in effect, the Council
desires to waive payment of the business registration fee by businesses that are otherwise
in compliance with PAMC Chapter 4.60.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby authorizes and approves the waiver of the
2020 business registration fee. 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 2020.
SECTION 5. The City Council hereby authorizes and approves the waiver of late
payment fees for business registration fees initially due and payable in 2020.

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.
