The Board of City Commissioners repealed Ordinance No. 51, Series of 2021 and adopted a new ordinance continuing the occupational license fee charged to persons who practice a business, trade or profession within Ashlands corporate limits. The ordinance specifies the fee to be charged, the compensation subject to the fee, withholding and filing responsibilities, a net-profit fee for businesses, enforcement provisions, confidentiality of records filed with the city and penalties for violations.

The ordinance was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote; the transcript does not include the specific fee rates, the compensation thresholds, or the penalty amounts. The ordinance replaces the 2021 provision and provides updated administration and enforcement language.
