Mr. Willi-Olhner •poke aa an inveator in ca11eroit.' •roperty upon

that th• City of 8ngl.wood and th• Chamber of CO ere• have the .... baaic
intereat, that ia, to make Bnglewood attractive and th• Bu•ine•• and Occu-
pational Tax ia a nuiaance tax in hi• opinion.

Tb• Mayor inquired aa to whether th• City o-l i•nv•r can legally collect

it• U•• Tax Ordinance. Councilman Love co1 ented upon pa)'9enta mad• by
8n9l.wood buain••• -n to the City and County of Denver and that corr••-
pondingly any auch ordinance on behalf of Bngl.wood would be very difficult
to enforce.

Manager aa to continuing with th• preaent licen•• ordinance or another ordi-
nance be prepared for conaideration by th• Council at it• aecond meeting in

tation. Be expreaaed the viw that Mny of the -ara of the Chamber think
of the Buaineaa and occupational Tax aa a t-.porary thing and would not look
a1*ilarly upon a Buain••• Licen••·

Gentlemen:
Purauant to directive of th• City council at it• ... ting of May 6,
I have checked th• referendum petition on Downtown Improvement Diatrict Ro. 1.
!'be petition appear• to be aubatantially r9911lar, and to have 685 aignatur••
thereon. The City Clerk atatM that the number i• well in exc••• of lOJ' of
the n\lllber regiatered to vote in th• laat general aunicipal election aa
required by Section 47 of th• Chartu.,;.
The above aection of the Charter alao provide• aa follow•: "The refer-
endUll •hall apply to all ordinance• paaaed by the council, except ordinance•
making the tax levy, th• annual appropriation ordinance, or th• order of
t::dov ... nta initiated by petition and to b! paid for by apecial aaaea ... nta."
underacoring auppliea)
Downtown I11prov .. nt Diatrict llo. 1 wa• ordered by action of th• Council
and wa• not initiated by petition. In view of the fact that th• Charter •pa-
cifically except• from th• referendua local illprov ... nt• initiated by petition,
but doe• not -ntion tho•• initiated by Council, I -of the opinion that th•
referendum i• intended to apply to iaprov ... nt di•tricta initiated by Council
action. It ia, therefore, my conclu•ion that purauant to Section 47 of the
Charter th• City council auat either repeal Ordinance •o. 15, Seri•• of 1963,
er-ting the iaprov-•nt diatrict, or au•t •ulait it to a vote of th• quali-
