taxes remain a significant portion of total revenue available to
meet expenditures, provided, that the recommended license tax rates
shall not exceed the maximum tax rates authorized by this chapter.
A complete license tax and fee schedule shall be adopted by
resolution of the city council. Should the council, for any
reason, fail to adopt such a resolution, the maximum tax rates as
determined by this section shall be deemed the schedule of taxes to
