C. REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF OCCUPANCY PERMIT FEES FROM CLIFF
MARCUSSEN, OPTIONS, 3505 NORTH HART AVENUE, #230
Councilmember Bruesch stated that if this waiver is approved for Options, then a policy
will have to be established for all non-profit organizations to waive Occupancy Permit Fees.
Councilmember Taylor asked how many non-profit groups are in the City and what fees
have they paid.
Mr. Tripepi pointed out that if a policy is established, will the organizations that have
paid fees previously be entitled to a refund.
Councilmember Taylor stated that his concern is that many organizations will change
their status to non-profit to avoid paying the fees.
Cliff Marcussen, Executive Director of Options, 3505 N. Hart Avenue, Rosemead,
explained that this would be unlikely as attorney fees to become a non-profit organization are
much greater than permit fees. Mr. Marcussen stressed that non-profit groups are valuable
to the community, provide services that the government cannot, and meet critical needs in
the City. Mr. Marcussen continued that Options provides such services as child care, head
start, and child abuse counselling.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Marcussen how Options is funded and what
percentage is government funded.
Mr. Marcussen replied Options is funded through Federal and County funds, parent
fees, some donations, and that approximately 85% is government funded. Mr. Marcussen
explained that their organization has been successful in obtaining Federal and State funding
for child care services over the past 12 years.
