Recommendation;
DATE : December 05, 1994
SUBJECT Agenda Item

ENCLOSURES:
FILE :
It is recommended that the attached resolution providing for the
appointment of an equity study commission for the purpose of
recommending changes to the Occupational License rates in Chapter
31 be approved.
Background_:
Section 205 of the Florida Statutes regulates the assessment of
municipal occupational licenses and had frozen the rates at the
1981 level. Section 205 was amended by the state legislature in
1993 to allow for a reclassification and a ten percent (10%)
increase in the tax. To effectuate these changes the City
Commission must appoint an Equity Study Commission whose members
must be a representative of the City Of Miami business community.
Currently the Occupational License tax generates $4.2 million in
revenue. The ten percent (1.09,5) increase would result in $420,000
of additional revenue. Additionally, the change in the state law
allows a five percent (5%) increase every other year.
Also, by reclassifying and changing the current ordinance certain
inequities in the assessment and inefficiencies in administration
could be eliminated.
The Equity Study Commission was created by Resolution 93-418 and
by Ordinance 11130. Appointment of members is now necessary to
meet a September 1995 deadline imposed by the state legislature.
