Court enters executive session to consult counsel on potential hotel-occupancy tax; no action taken
Summary
Commissioners entered executive session to consult with outside counsel (Allison Bass McGee LLP) about feasibility/adoption of a hotel‑occupancy tax and then returned to regular session with no action to report.
Kaufman County Commissioners Court entered executive session on March 31 under Texas Government Code provisions to consult with attorney James Allison of Allison Bass McGee LLP regarding a potential contract to retain the firm for work relating to the feasibility or adoption of a hotel‑occupancy tax.
The court later exited executive session and the judge reported there was no action to be taken at the time.
Why it matters: Feasibility work and legal consultation are an early step toward considering a hotel‑occupancy tax; retaining outside counsel would be a procedural move to research legal authority, collection mechanics and potential revenue implications should the county pursue a hotel‑occupancy tax.
Outcome: Executive session held; no public action recorded.
