PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland mayor Charlie Hales said he wants to raise the Business License Tax, generating an additional $8.7 million a year. He made the announcement as he outlined the details of his proposed 2016-2017 budget during a press conference outside City Hall Monday.

About 25,000 will see an increase ranging from $61 to $1,532 a year.
 
The Office of Neighborhood Involvement is proposing increases across the board for all noise variance fees. These are the fees the city charges applicants to ask for a variance from the Portland Noise Code, or Title 18. These new fees would go into effect for the new fiscal year starting on July 1, 2016.

The Noise Variance Board meets today and again on Monday, May 16, 2016.

Written comments will be accepted until the end of day on Tuesday, May 17th.

We last met with Samir Mokashi from CODE UNLIMITED in 2012. As you know, there are changes/updates we all should be aware of ? and Samir is the go-to person for ADA questions.

BOMA strongly supports the "next generation" of accessibility requirements in new buildings and alterations while "grandfathering" conditions that meet current Department of Justice standards (2010 ADA Standards). BOMA continues to work to ensure that new regulations, codes and standards provide increased consistency in accessibility requirements, offer more reasonable and clearer technical requirements and lead to more consistent interpretation, application and enforcement.
