You
mayor
I'll
take
that
in
to
fast-track
things
with
our
new
technology.
I'll
just
stay
right
here.
If
it
please
the
mayor.
Okay,
this
is
an
ordinance
to
amend
chapter
90,
article
7,
section
92
31
of
the
Code
of
Ordinances
Aseema,
no
Georgia
regarding
cities,
hotels
and
for
other
purposes.
Just
as
a
brief
introductory
to
this,
the
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
clean
up
just
a
couple
of
sections
of
our
ordinance
at
the
request:
/
insistence
of
the
Department
of
Community
Affairs,
so
that
our
ordinance
is
more
more
in
compliance
with
the
DCA's
regulations.
D
There
were
basically
some
definitions
and
a
couple
of
references
to
the
state
enabling
legislation
that
they
wanted
modified
so
that
they
felt
then
that
our
hotel-motel
tax
ordinance
was
then
proper
and
in
compliance
of
Georgia
law.
So
that's
the
purpose
of
this
amendment.
The
mayor's
Council
of
City
of
Monroe,
hereby
ordain
as
follows:
article
1
chapter
90,
article
7,
section
92
31,
the
Code
of
Ordinances,
is
hereby
a
minute
by
removing
section
92
31
and
replacing
it
with
the
following.
D
In
lieu
thereof,
she
said
they
attached
Exhibit
A
for
the
complete
text
of
section
92,
section
92,
31
taxation,
article
7

article

all

are
parts
of
ordinances
in
conflict
with
or
hereby
repealed.
Article
3.
D
This
ordinance
shall
take
effect
from
an
after
the
doctrine
by
the
mayor
and
council,
the
city
of
Georgia.
This
constitutes
the
first
reading
mayor
10th
day
of
October
2017.
Also
just
one
other
point:
this
does
not
change
the
hotel-motel
tax
percentage.
It
remains
at
five
percent.
It's
just
cleaning
up
some
legal
language.
Okay,
any.
A
B
I'd
I'd
like
to
bring
this
up
because
I
know
we've
had
a
couple
months
ago.
We
we
new,
have
some
appointments
that
need
to
be
made,
and
we
have
some
deliberative
discussion
on
the
process
to
be
used
for
point
things.
Various
boards
and
I'd
like
to
hear
counsel
feelings
tonight
until
we
have
some
discussion
on
maybe
the
best
way
that
people
think
it
is
to
make
these
appointments
and
I
would
hope
that,
probably
after
tonight,
if
there's
a
general
consensus
and
discussion,
then
staff
an
attorney
whatever
could
draw
up
something
to
match
this.
B
That
we
could
then
vote
on
hopefully
next
month.
So
we
can
complete
the
filling
of
the
board's
permit
to
need
to
be
today.
I've
looked
at
these
and
I'm
just
going
to
give
just
my
general
thoughts
and
then
hopefully
other
people
will
have
some
thoughts
too
about
half
or
so
of
several
of
our
current
boards.
B
The
way
the
wording
is
in
the
the
way
there
was
a
written
up
right
now
called
for
members
to
be
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
ratified
by
the
City
Council
I,
like
that
idea
for
those
that
are
specifically
mentioned
to
be
done.
That
way,
so
the
mayor
can
look
over
the
qualifications
and
make
that
a
format.
B
There
are
three
of
the
boys
that
I
think
should
come
before
the
full
of
council
for
discussion
and
appointment
in
those
three
of
the
historic
of
the
Planning
Commission
I'm,
sorry,
the
Planning
Commission,
the
DDA
and
the
Airport
Commission,
and
on
those
three.
What
I'd
like
to
see
is
we
actually
advertise
when
there
are
openings
to
give
people
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
with
their
qualifications
and
the
reason
they
desire
to
be
on
it?
B
And
then
all
of
those
come
before
the
council
with
those
people
that
have
applied
and
then
the
way
I
would
say
it
is
that
if
a
council
member
has
someone
that
they
think
meets
those
qualifications,
they'd
like
to
see
they
nominate
that
person.
Another
council
member
may
have
another
person
supplied.
That
they'd
also
like
to
nominate-
and
if
that's
the
case,
if
it's
more
than
one,
then
the
council
members
would
vote
on
which
of
these
people
that
have
been
nominated
there
like
to
see
selected.
So
that's
my
thoughts
on
it.
A
B
A
And
in
the
past
it
was
the
first
one
nominated
with
a
vote
on
so
I
mean
it
generally
worked,
but
you
know
we
did
that
we
did
have
a
difference
of
opinion.
The
last
last
time
we
had
committee
appointments,
which
did
bring
this
discussion
forward,
so
I
do
think
it's
probably
a
good
idea
that
you
know
if
you
do
have
a
more
than
one
qualified
person.
B
I
do
think
yeah
that
you
talk
about
a
Polish
that
things
like
the
thing,
zoning
and
DDA.
We
really
need
to
be
sure
that
we
appoint
someone
that
has
a
sincere
interest
in
doing
this
and
it
will
it
can
be
at
the
time,
but
these
are
time
consuming
the
plumbers
we
need.
So
much
were
to
do
that.
That's
where
you
know
like
the
idea
of
actually
advertising
I.
E
Think
that
it's
a
good
idea
and
I
think
that
it's
things
have
evolved
and
since
we
could
started
asking
for
background
information
and
submitting
an
application,
it
seems
that
anybody
that
is
willing
to
do
that
to
say
that
they
want
to
serve
and
come
out
forth,
forefront
with
it
ought
to
be
considered
by
the
campus
and
I
saw
I.
Think
your
way
of
doing
it.
It's
good.
C
A
So
what
were
what
we're?
What
I'm
hearing
I
may
be
wrong?
Do
we
need
we
need
to
advertise
it
put
it
on
our
website.
Folks,
that's
interested
need
to
come
up,
get
an
application
and
submit
it
in
along
with
council
members.
If
you
have
any,
if
you
have
people
that
you
think
would
be
good,
just
get
them
to
come
up
and
get
application
to
submit,
but
it'd
be
their
responsibility
to
get
the
application
and
submit
and
I
think
I
can
get
applications
online.
Correct.
