(Added by Ord. No. 168,368, Eff. 12/4/92.)
If any section, subsection, part, clause, sentence or phrase of this article or the application thereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining portions of this article, the application thereof, and the tax imposed shall not be affected thereby but shall remain in full force and effect, it being the intention of the City Council and the voters to adopt each and every section, subsection, part, clause, sentence or phrase, regardless of whether any other section, subsection, part, clause, sentence or phrase or the application thereof is held to be invalid or unconstitutional.
All applicants seeking an Enterprise Zone Hiring Tax Credit Voucher as authorized by Sections 17053.74 and 23622.7 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code shall pay a service fee to the Community Development Department, the City’s Enterprise Zone Administrator for processing such applications.
The State of California has established a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) for each application submitted to the State by the local Enterprise Zone Administrator effective November 1, 2004 pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 7086. The City has determined that an additional twenty-five dollar fee ($25.00) is required to offset the cost of processing such applications by the City. Applicants for an Enterprise Zone Hiring Tax Credit Voucher shall pay a service fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) to the Community Development Department. The Department shall submit ten dollars ($10.00) of this fee to the State of California as required by State law. The balance of fees collected shall be used to offset costs of administering the program by the Community Development Department.
If the State determines that the fee to be collected by the Enterprise Zone Administration is to be increased above the ten dollars ($10.00) currently authorized, the General Manager of the Community Development Department or an authorized representative shall issue adequate public notice of the fee increase and shall adjust its collection of the fee in conformity with the State requirements.
Neither the adoption of this ordinance which provides authority for the collection of the State’s Enterprise Zone Tax Credit Voucher Application Fee, nor any action by any representative of the City in carrying out this ordinance shall constitute City approval of or ratification of the State’s law.
(Added by Ord. No. 186,337, Eff. 11/27/19.)
The Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) shall have the authority to utilize all unencumbered Enterprise Zone Hiring Tax Credit Voucher fees, previously collected pursuant to this Article, for economic development activities which are consistent with its mission.
