Dear Ms Davenport,
On November 25, 1975, I addressed the Rosemead City Council regarding
the Business License Fee Schedule Ordinance #407. I had been asked by
the City Council at that time for a report as to the feeling of the Chamber
of Commerce toward this ordinance. In my address to the Council members,
I said that the fee schedule had been discussed with Chamber members
and also that the Chamber Board had voted to take no stand on said
ordinance.
This statement is not entirely correct. A meeting was held with the Chamber
members in which a discussion of the business license fee schedule was
held. There was no official vote taken by the Rosemead Chamber Board of
Directors on this business license fee schedule. An informal discussion
was held among several Board members, with no action being taken.
I would appreciate if this letter could become part of the minutes of Nov-
ember 25, 1975 for clarification of this section pertaining to the business
fee schedule.
If you should have any questions, please contact me, or John Judziewicz
at the Chamber office.
Very truly yours,
tti LrJ. ~7c~4zti~~C-r~
