(2993) Councilmember Souza asked how the number of employees would be determined for the purpose of weighting the protest vote.

He noted that generally, businesses report full-time equivalents (FTEs) rather than part-time employees. Councilmember Souza requested a change to the wording in Section 4 of the resolution, which currently reads, "...nonprofit businesses falling under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) do not benefit from the proposed assessment and shall not be assessed." She pointed out that the Davis Street Family Resource Center benefits from the assessment.
