enacted Title 3 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, which provide for the imposition and collection
of a business license tax on persons for the privilege of transacting and carrying on any business,
trade, profession, calling and occupation specified in Title 3; and

destroyed (collectively referred to herein as the "Processing Fees"), which Processing Fees shall
be in such amounts as may be established from time to time by resolution of the City Council;
and
WHEREAS, as mandated by State law, the City of Anaheim currently collects an
additional fee of $1.00 from applicants for a business license, or renewal thereof, which is used
to fund the State Certified Access Specialist (CASp) Program in order to increase the availability
of CASp services and improve compliance with state and federal construction -related
accessibility standards; and
WHEREAS, on October 11, 2017, the Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 1379,

collect this additional fee on and after January 1, 2018; and

wage rates and fringe benefits and purchasing or leasing of supplies, equipment, materials and
