County outlines staffing, software and initial enforcement steps for BPOL rollout
Summary
Staff estimated administrative costs for BPOL implementation, including adding a half-time auditor position (~$47,010 salary plus ~$8,217 benefits) and a supervisory salary adjustment for the current business-license deputy; staff said new software will automate initial reporting.
Staff told supervisors that implementing a proportional BPOL system would require additional administrative capacity and that automated software will ease the initial reporting burden. The presentation listed an estimated half-time auditor position at about $47,009.68 in salary plus $8,217.05 in benefits, and a small salary classification adjustment for the current master deputy who manages business licenses.
Presenters said the county's new software rollout (scheduled for February) would automate initial filing and reduce front-end work, but auditing and reconciling filings would require staff time. Staff recommended a soft implementation for the first year (waiving penalties for late filing) and outreach with the Chamber of Commerce and county communications to prepare businesses for a Jan. 1, 2027 effective date.
"You're looking at a $47,009.68 salary for that person, with benefits to be $8,217.05," a presenter said when discussing the added half-time auditor and supervisory responsibilities. Staff clarified that DMV revenues are not being separated to offset these costs and would remain part of the general fund.
