RE: Item #5 allocation of Hotel Occupancy Taxes

Post by Steve Adler »

Colleagues,

I intend to offer the following amendment to the revised version of the ordinance provided by staff yesterday. After reviewing the resolution adopted by Council at our 08/31/2017 meeting (Item 60) as well as the 08/31 meeting minutes and transcript, I believe this amendment more accurately reflects the intent of the resolution Council adopted, and specifically the final amendment to the resolution by Councilmember Alter, and is consistent with the discussion at this week’s Council worksession.
