As recommended by the Committee, this amendment will place utilities in the indus- trial -manufacturing cetep-ory instead of retail, and redefines the real estate license base of $25.00. Council approved these recommendations at the meeting of July 10, 1967. Mr. K. W. Van Gundy, District Manager of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. appeared to again present their Company's objection to their inclusion in the Business License Tax Ordinance for requirement of a business license, claiming they operate under authority of PUC, and by a franchise under the City, which should exempt them from the City. City Attorney explained franchise under which PGE is operated would in effect, be judged a rental charged for use of City property for pole lines, etc.; business license tax in effect, imposed on operation of the business similar to any business paying for use of property and a license tax to operate the business. Councilman Bury advised this request had been considered thoroughly by the 'Committee and Committee had concurred with opinion rendered by the City Attorney. He also advised of the Committee's intention to continually review the operation of this ordinance, with first meeting being scheduled for October 10th and sug- gested that PGE appear at that time for a further discussion of this matter. Council questioned whether PGE had been granted an exemption in any other areas where a business license tax had been imposed and was advised by Mr. Van Gundy exemption had been granted. Motion to introduce ordinance carried on roll call vote, Councilman Rosselli being noted absent. Request for extension of time for completion of the Hoover Swim Pool.
