13Council Member Catlin stated that if the subject business is included in the category 20 because of disproportionate calls then the increase in license fees is not justified Mark McGrath gave

appeal it will have to determine which other category in which to place this particular business 47Chairman Pratt clarified that even if a separate category were established for this type 22 20 of business the number of disproportionate calls on record for the two businesses identified in Taylorsville would result in a higher number of calls and may justify an even higher fee 01 Mayor Wall
