Ayes: Clemons, Griffin, Martin, Pitts Nays: Hawks, Webb Abstained: Robinett (business interest with owner of property) - CITY MANAGER'S REPORT - 95-547 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance governing the collection of Business, Professional and Occupational License (BPOL) taxes. "As you know there was a proposal before the 1995 Virginia General Assembly to phase out the Business, Professional and Occupational License (BPOL) tax over a five year period. Although the proposal called for replacement of the lost revenue through an appropriation from the State, there was fear that such funds would eventually be cut if the State encountered a period of fiscal constraint. Fortunately, local authority to impose the BPOL tax was preserved. Portsmouth collects about $4.3 million per year in BPOL tax, one of the largest locally controlled revenues.
