Tossing a $1,200-a-year fee may be in the cards for fortune-telling businesses in Apache Junction.
The Apache Junction City Council at a meeting May 6 is to direct city staff to reduce or remove the fee, based on discussion at a recent work session. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.
Two fortune-telling business licenses have been approved in the past six years. By city code definition, a fortune teller is a person who purports to have the ability to predict a person’s future by palmistry using a crystal ball or cards, or similar methods, Senior Planner Nick Leftwich told the council during an April 14 work session.
