City Council Informational Meeting – 4 PM
There is 3 presentations and an executive session, but NO linked documents in SIRE yet. Which is ironic since one of the presentations has to do with SIRE. The other two presentations will be about the USD Discovery Center and Compensation study with the city.
Regular Council meeting – 7 PM
After the council gets past the 85 alcohol licensing renewals and transfers and some rezones, we move to;
Items #109 & 111. In one last final gift to SMG, Huether digs up $500K of supplemental appropriations for the Convention Center for a new AV system out of the Entertainment tax, which they claim SMG generates anyway.
Amend the Other Capital Expenditures Program by adding AV equipment upgrade in 2018. The estimated cost is $500,000 and will require an increase in appropriations that will be funded by the Entertainment Tax Fund using funds contributed by SMG.
Funny, I thought the consumer was the one contributing the tax and SMG was the one collecting it.
