HANNIBAL â Palmyra City Council members discussed an annual increase for business licenses, citing several costs which have gone up since the $10 license fee was set in 1973.
City Clerk Deena Parsons said increased costs included the hourly rate for city employees, insurance changes, exemptions for self-employed residents and more time to process the applications if a document needs to be resubmitted. City Council members agreed to assess the amount of time and the increase in costs to determine a fee increase planned for the beginning of the calendar year.
