BUSINESS LICENSE APPEAL BY FREDERICK W.AFFELD
A letter from Mr.Frederick W.Affeld of 2707 W.Peninsula
Drive was read. Mr.Affeld was objecting to Ordinance #538
which provides for the annual business license.Mr.Affeld
owns a four-plex apartment,one of which he occupies.He
does not regard his property as a business,but as an
investment;therefore,he does not feel that he should be
required to obtain a business license.Last year Mr.
Affeld grossed $1,756.00 and would therefore be over the
$1,000.00 gross as set forth in the ordinance.

Mayor Stadshaug pointed out to Mr.Affeld that this is
a business license not a B & 0 Tax.
Mr.Hardin pointed out that a lot of thought and study had
gone into the matter of setting a fee for business licenses
to make it as fair as possible to everyone.He mentioned
that there would always be someone with a borderline case,
but that under the circumstances where Mr.Affeld's income
was over the $1,000 gross that the request should be denied.
Mr.Jones felt that the Council had to draw a line somewhere
even though there would always be some close to the line.It
would have to be enforced.
Mr.Affeld was in the audience and reiterated the statement
in his letter that he did not feel that he was in business,
but that his apartments are an investment.
Motion by Hardin,seconded by Eng,that the request be denied
Motion carried.
Mayor Stadshaug welcomed Mr.Ray Norman and the other visitors to
the meeting.
Meeting adjourned.
