A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF MOAB BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, State of Utah regulations require cities to establish their business license fee schedule
based on actual costs incurred for providing selected types of services to the business community; and
WHEREAS, in 2001, the City of Moab conducted a cost analysis of services provided to Moab
businesses; and
WHEREAS, this analysis showed the maximum limit of annual business license fee charges that the
City of Moab could impose in 2001 dollars; and
WHEREAS, the City of Moab created a business license fee schedule based on the analysis; and
WHEREAS, the City of Moab has not adjusted the business license fee schedule to account for cost
increases or standard inflationary factors since the fee schedule was originally adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City's costs for providing services have increased at least 60% since 2001; and
WHEREAS, business license fees should be adjusted to reflect increases in costs; and
WHEREAS, an approximate 10% increase in fees across the board is necessary to cover some of the
increase in costs of providing services; and
WHEREAS, several new business license fee categories have been created to reflect the needs of the
community;
NOW, THEREFORE, WE, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF MOAB RESOLVE TO
