Council appoints members to accommodations tax advisory board, stormwater advisory board and Midlands tourism authority
Summary
Lexington County Council on Jan. 28 appointed David Bergman to the Accommodations Tax Advisory Board, named Mr. Goff to the Stormwater Advisory Board and approved Sammy Hendricks (Sammy Hendricks) for the Midlands Authority for Conventions and Sports Tourism; all appointments were approved by roll call.
Lexington County Council on Jan. 28 approved three appointments to local advisory bodies: David Bergman to the Accommodations Tax Advisory Board, a Mr. Goff to the Stormwater Advisory Board, and Samuel (Sammy) Hendricks to the Midlands Authority for Conventions and Sports Tourism.
The appointments were presented during the meeting's appointment segment. Councilwoman Wessinger moved to appoint David Bergman to the Accommodations Tax Advisory Board; Councilman Hudson seconded and the council approved the appointment by roll call. A separate motion appointed Mr. Goff to the Stormwater Advisory Board; that motion was also approved. Finally, the council approved the appointment of Sammy Hendricks to the Midlands Authority for Conventions and Sports Tourism to replace Otis Rawl, who resigned.
Why this matters: these advisory bodies provide guidance and, in some cases, funding recommendations for tourism, stormwater policy and accommodations tax spending; their membership affects local policy and grant decisions.
