The Simpson County Fiscal Court on Jan. 3 unanimously repealed Ordinance No. 220.246 (which rescinded Ordinance No. 220.209) and adopted Ordinance No. 220.247, enacting a new transient room tax.
County Judge-Executive Mason Barnes called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. and the court moved, on second reading, to repeal the prior ordinance and to enact the replacement. The motions passed with votes recorded for Jeffrey Burr, Marty Chandler, Scott Poston, Myron Thurman and Mason Barnes.
The ordinances were approved on second reading and final passage during the regular-term meeting; the transcript records the motions and the recorded affirmative votes but does not specify the tax rate or implementation timetable in the record.
The court did not attach additional implementing language or fiscal estimates in the meeting record. The clerk’s office would have the official ordinances and any implementing resolutions or schedules if details such as effective dates or rate changes are needed.
