OLD BUSINESS

  1. Hotel/Motel Tax Budget – The proposal for use of the Hotel/Motel Tax for fiscal year 2006-2007 was presented and is attached.  It totals $150,000 with any surplus to be used for Met Theatre/HRM Amphitheater operations.  Current regular operating budget allocated $49,000 from hotel/motel for the Met Theatre utilities and this proposed budget only allows for $35,000.  Therefore $12,000 will be moved from the contingency line item to balance budget.  Ron Justice moved and Ed Cordwell seconded approval of the hotel/motel budget.  Motion passed unanimously.
