"Business" includes any activity engaged in by any person or persons or caused to be engaged in by him or them with the object of gain, benefit, or advantage, either direct or indirect. For the purposes of this chapter and chapter 5.08 of this title, the determination of a business shall be vested in the city's finance director, or the director's designee.

(Ord. 1916 § 1, 1986: prior code § 2102.3)
5.04.040: EMPLOYEE DEFINED:
An "employee" is a person who receives his compensation from an employer that carries workers' compensation insurance, makes all necessary payroll deductions from such compensation, and assumes all other responsibilities as an employer.

Such location shall be staffed and open for business the hours and days customary to such a type of business activity. The determination of the requirements necessary to establish a permanent location shall be vested with the city's finance director, or the director's designee. The assessment of city and county property taxes on the stock in trade and/or equipment and supplies at such location and the payment thereof shall be deemed as contributory evidence of a fixed place of business.
