UPDATES FROM THE CITY MANAGER:

waiver of late fees for the payment of Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) as some of the
other cities in the County have done or are currently considering.

discuss or take action regarding any temporary suspension or waiver of late fees for TOT
payments. He did note that the City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, could
take action to temporarily suspend or waive late fees for t he late payment of TOT and the
City Council could ratify that action at the next City Council Meeting.
