Thank you. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Please read item 34 through the first semicolon. Agenda item 34 accountable 118 596 relating to the creation of a Title six business license. Thank you, Councilmember Licata. This knowledge is great. This legislation creates a new Title six business license that nearly all businesses engaging in business in the city will be required to obtain. It will be issued currently concurrently with the business license tax certificate that businesses currently obtain under the settlement civil code. And there will be no separate fee for the Title six license. In addition, the legislation amends the code to remove the regulatory provisions in that chapter that are not related to the tax code and then pushes the regulatory provisions in the new newly created code, which is basically the permits Title six. So what we've done is we've separated the regulatory functions of providing a permit, which would be Title six, from just the acknowledging of doing business in the city. That should be the Title five. This will give the city some greater authority to address any problems that may arise from businesses that are in violation of our codes or various laws by, if necessary, suspending the Title six, which would then create the force. The business owner no longer be in business, but the Title five, if it remains in force, will allow us to collect taxes that are due. Thank you. Questions or comments?
