The accounts listed have not been paid as of July 18, 2022, for the services received, although ongoing attempts have been made to collect the balances due. Prior to fiscal year 2020-2021, eligible delinquent business licenses are submitted as well. In fiscal year 2020-2021, the City opted to not include eligible business licenses due to the adverse impacts of COVID. During the past year, staff worked with the City ’s business license consultant to revisit this practice and determined that at this time, the City will utilize our consultant ’s collections and compliance departments to collect outstanding business license fees. This is in line with industry standards, and the process will be more effective enabling the City to increase overall business license compliance.
