The city council meets tonight at 7 p.m. Not a lot on the agenda but I expect what is on there to produce a lot of discussion. Up after the warrants is the contract for funding between the city and the reconstituted Convention and Tourism Bureau (Notice: I sit on the board). The board is requesting $75,000 from the city in order to have funds to hire both an interim and a permanent executive director for the CCTB as well as pay outstanding bills. Once the CCTB has this amount on hand, it can then request matching funds from the state. The major sticking point in the contract is likely the city's stipulation that the CCTB have a fully functioning website up and running within 90 days. While the CCTB does have a website, and its functionality was one of the complaints laid against the previous CCTB, getting it to the level stipulated by the city in the contract within 90 days would be pretty difficult.
Next on the agenda is an ordinance allowing video poker terminals, and similar games that pay out free games or credits redeemable for cash, in establishments that have a liquor license. I think we will see a lot of discussion on this but that it will pass.
Water and sewer fee updates are again on the agenda as well as approving a feasibility study expanding the TIF district to include more of downtown. I expect that one to pass with minimal discussion.
