[Formerly numbered Section 8-80; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; Amended by Ord. No. 3828, eff. 8/24/12; 3623, 2492, 2434.]

3-4-1105: SOLICITORS’ PERMITS, LICENSES AND FEES:

A. In General: No person shall engage in the business of solicitor or canvasser without first obtaining a permit and license therefor from the Community Development Department and paying the prescribed application fee and license fee. Unless a blanket permit and license is obtained as hereinafter provided, each such solicitor or canvasser shall pay an application fee in the amount set forth in the Burbank Fee Resolution.

B. Adjustment of License Fees Due to Undue Burden on Interstate Commerce: None of the license fees provided for by this section shall be so applied as to occasion an undue burden upon interstate commerce. In any case where a license fee is believed by a licensee or applicant for license to place an undue burden upon such commerce, they may apply to the City Manager for an adjustment of the fee so that it shall not be discriminatory, unreasonable, or unfair as to such commerce. Such application may be made before, at, or within six (6) months after payment of the prescribed license fee. The applicant shall, by affidavit and supporting testimony, show their method of business and the gross volume or estimated gross volume of business and such other information as the City Manager may deem necessary in order to determine the extent, if any, of such undue burden on such commerce. The City Manager shall then conduct an investigation, comparing applicant’s business with other businesses of like nature and shall make findings of fact from which they shall determine where the fee fixed by this section is unfair, unreasonable or discriminatory as to the applicant’s business and shall fix as the license fee for the applicant, an amount that is fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, or, if the fee has already been paid, shall order a refund of the amount over and above the fee so fixed. In fixing the fee to be charged, the City Manager shall have the power to base the fee upon a percentage of gross sales, or any other method which will assure that the fee assessed shall be uniform with that assessed on businesses of like nature, so long as the amount assessed does not exceed the fees as prescribed by subsection A of this section. Should the City Manager determine the gross sales measure of the fee to be the fair basis, they may require the applicant to submit, either at the time of termination of applicant’s business in the City, or at the end of each three (3) month period, a sworn statement of the gross sales and pay the amount of fee therefor, provided that no additional fee during any one fiscal year shall be required after the licensee shall have paid an amount equal to the license as prescribed herein.

Blanket Permit and License: Whenever any person necessarily employs, or wholesales goods to, solicitors or canvassers in the conduct of their business, they may, in lieu of the application fee and the license fee or fees required to be paid hereunder by such solicitor or canvasser, pay an application fee in the amount set forth in the Burbank Fee Resolution for each solicitor or canvasser and a blanket license fee in the amount set forth in the Burbank Fee Resolution per solicitor or canvasser so employed or engaged for the one year period commencing with date of issuance, provided they:

3. Agree to collect and remit any and all local sales and use taxes accruing on taxable sales made by such solicitors or canvassers, and to cause the required reports to be furnished in connection therewith; provided, however, that this shall not relieve the solicitors or canvassers themselves of any obligations they may have under the sales and use tax ordinance of the City if taxes are not collected and paid or reports made in connection therewith; and

4. Keep and maintain a current list of the solicitors and canvassers employed by them or associated with them as retailers, setting forth the name, address and criminal record, if any, of each such solicitor or canvasser, which list shall be furnished the Community Development Department or Chief of Police on request.
