Dear City,
We have been in the city since 1987. We have always
appreciated the understanding you and your officials have for
business. Were sure you will agree with the following matter.
On January 13 we decided to move to another Vernon Address instead
of a Los Angeles Address. We didn't renew our Business licence
until we were sure we were staying in Vernon, which I'm sure
you'll agree was practical. We now are paying for the ! 992
licence and are being told that we have to pay a transfer charge
of $50.001 Irm sure the intent of the law was to charge the fee
if a business moves during the term of a business license and
We understand this. Were sure The City of Vernon wouldn't
want to penalize a company that decided to stay in the City
rather than leave. It is not possible that you would charge
a new business less than an old resident if they both were
applying at the same time. Were sure you'll not charge us for
this fee. Thankyou.
