Title
CITY BUDGET PROJECTED SHORTFALLS / REDUCING BUDGET GAP / REVENUE COLLECTING
Subject
Motion - That the City Council request that the City Attorney prepare and present the following ordinances within 30 days: 1. Amend the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to facilitate the application of a "look back period" for new business registrations, in order to collect back taxes owed to the City consistent with the policies used by the Federal Internal Revenue Services. 2. Amend Ordinance No. 177469, and related provisions, to authorize the Office of Finance to collect a fee to cover all costs associated with the collection of delinquencies owed to the City, replacing the flat rate currently charged to some delinquent accounts. 3. Amend the LAMC to require compliance with all of the City's business tax and Parking Occupancy Tax laws as a condition of granting a new permit, and authorize the suspension or revocation of a business's Police Permit for non-payment of business taxes or parking taxes. 4. Authorize Office of Finance to charge transaction fee for online credit card payments to cover the full cost of processing those payments.
