RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2008-332 authorizing a refund of business license tax to AE Gems of $604. ITEM EXPLANATION: AE Gems made an error in calculating the amount due for their business license taxes. The Finance Department audited the account, verifying the amount of the overpayment and ensuring compliance with all other business license policies. Section 5.04.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires Council approval of any refund in excess of $500. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of a refund to AE Gems of $604. FISCAL IMPACT: The payment will result in $604 in refunds. There is no true fiscal impact, as the payment was in error. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and, therefore, does not require an environmental review.
