File Number: 25-203 <br />To cover the increasing costs of providing services, each tax is adjusted annually by the amount <br />of the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Municipal Code §2-2-500, §2-13-140, and <br />§2-18-210 guide annual CPI adjustments.

In <br />accordance with the Municipal Code, the tax schedules for business licenses, EMS, and 911 <br />access are adjusted by 2.4%. as follows: <br />·Business Licenses: annual base fee and the unit fee for retail, wholesale/distribution (large <br />local seller), and manufacturing will increase from $167.00 to $171.00 and from $50.60 to <br />$52.70 (per each owner and each employee) <br />·Emergency Communications System Access Tax: single access line rate for 911 will <br />increase from $3.14 to $3.22 <br />·Emergency Medical Services and a benefit unit tax under the EMS will increase from <br />$22.08 to $22.60. <br />Committee Review and Actions <br />The City Council Finance Committee reviewed FY 2025-2026 proposed fees at Finance <br />Committee meetings from June 2024 to March 2025.
