Community Development & Neighborhoods Minutes ................................................................ ............................... April 10, 2017 <br />B. Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Legislation <br />Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would codify provisions relating to the <br />Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and a resolution that would repeal previous resolutions <br />pertaining to LTAC. Placing LTAC in the Municipal Code would make it easier to find and be <br />consistent with the City's other boards, commissions and committees. No changes are proposed <br />to the purpose and membership which are defined by State Law. The proposed ordinance <br />provides greater details regarding the appointment process, reporting to the Council, and other <br />provisions such as terms, meetings and staff support that are in alignment with current practice. <br />Councilmember Kruller asked for clarification on the Mayor's role in the appointment process. <br />Current practice, which the draft ordinance formalizes, states that the Councilmember serving <br />as Chair makes recommendations to the rest of the City Council for the LTAC appointments. The <br />Mayor does not have a role, although the application form is routed through his office for <br />simplicity. The Committee requested clarifying this by amending the draft ordinance, Section <br />4(C) as follows: <br />"Interested parties that meet the requirements stated in TMC Section 2.35.020, subparagraphs A <br />and B, shall submit a completed Boards and Commissions Application to the Mayor's Office for <br />processing by the City Council." <br />UNANIMOUS APPROVAL AS AMENDED. FORWARD TO APRIL 24, 2017 COMMITTEE OF THE <br />WHOLE. <br />II. MISCELLANEOUS <br />Adjourned 6:32 p.m. <br />b Committee Chair Approval <br />Minutes by LH <br />
