Business fee proposal opposition expressed by local businessmen A proposal to charge ROY business license fees according to gross sales has received opposition from local businessmen. Robert Stevens from the Roy Chamber of Commerce said business licensing should be for regulation rather than for revenue. Where theres a narrow margin of profit, a merchant may have to raise prices, Stevens commented. He said perhaps volume and profit might be a means of determining whether a home oc- cupation has outgrown that designation and should be moved possibly to a business district. But gross sales should not, he said, determine business license fees. More study should be put into this matter, Stevens commented. On the concept of home occupations, Steyens said, You benefit to Roy, she asserted. Councilman Marvin Zaugg said home occupations may be desirable unless parking or traffic become a nuisence to neighbors. City Manager Wayne Kimber said there are now 89 licensed home occupations in Roy, and the number is continually growing. He also said that charging a business license fee according to gross sales is becoming a popular means of licensing across the country. Charles Arave, who holds a soliciters license in Roy, also expressed opposition to charging business license fees according to gross sales. He said he thinks that the city should control home occupations according to type, not according to volume of business done. Any business thats going to anything at all is going to grow, he said. When they feel they must move and expand, they will do it. He continued, saying he feels that he and all businessmen pay their fair share of taxes and that further restrictions would be unfair. City councilmen had asked for persons interested in business licensing and home occupations attend city council meeting and express their opinions on proposals and problems involved with regulations. There is presently a moratorium on home occupation license issuance until councilmen determine what, if any, changes they would like to make in home occupation regulations and licensing. do officers bravely face this throw was one booth at the Sand Ridge Park carnival. ROY KIWANIS CLUB wont let manufacturing operations in a commercial zone, yet you let businesses in residential zones. Neza Jensen, who operates Jensens Health Food Store as a home occupation at 4997 S. 2500 J&'jSr W., said she would be disturbed if she would have to open her y books to the city. She says that gross sales are not always a good way to determine a license, as her store works with a high volume of goods and a low margin of profit. She supports herself and her children with this home oc- cupation, she said. Her health food store is now with the present home occupation ordinance. When she began her store, it was permitted under the old ordinance. She may keep her store under the new laws provided she does not expand her operation or change it. Mrs. Jensen said she understands there needs to be controls on such businesses. She also pointed out that people have the idea that home occupations are an undesirable element in the city.
