<XXJNCIL MEE:rIN:; (0::-763A)
the five year fiscal forecast includes USC'I tax charged when
a c::arpany uses its own product rather than tuying aoot:her
product. 'lbe city gets a tax that is equivalent to the
sales tax. 'lbe trcmsient 1Y'('11[""'rx:y tax will actually be!
$64-65,000 less than projected beqinni.rç in 1989/90 as the
Courk::il did not enact an i1x:rease at the March 6 meeting.
Courk::il requested Mr. Snyder talk with Mr. Charles llel-"'1
arx1 Mr. Mark Kroll regarding the relatia1shi.p betueen a low
transient ""OC'1pImCy tax and ""OC'1pImCy rates in hotels.
Courk::il directed that Mr. Snyder L~t back within the
next six DaIths.
In regard to projected irnI....t..u....L ~, the 7' is a
<XrISE!XVative figure. Projected expe.&litures include 6
DaIths operatim of the new .........núty center. Mr. Snyder
clarified that the cost allocatim plan mentia1ecl in the

'Ibere is sufficient money in debt service tunds to retire
