Discussion – Hotel/Motel Tax - Commissioners
Those present asked for clarification on what can be allocated from the Hotel/Motel Tax. The state used to fund the VIC’s then later said "you can fund them with your 2%". There was quite a lot of discussion regarding the legalities of funding the VIC for operating expenses. The Board determined that since the list was approved prior to learning that Operating Expenses could not be paid from the Hotel/Motel Tax that the requests submitted would be paid this year. However, the TAB Board would have to let everyone know that it cannot be done next year.
