Vice Mayor Jenn Loges moved to adopt the ordinance and Councilmember Eliot Perkins seconded. The minutes record the motion as passing by roll call vote; the recorded ayes listed in the minutes were Vice Mayor Loges, Councilmember Perkins, Councilmember Nancy Freeborne Brinton, Councilmember Cindy Fithian and Councilmember Theo Daubresse. No nays were recorded in the minutes.
Town Treasurer Asma Rupani’s earlier report noted ongoing collection activity related to meals-tax delinquencies, including a partial payment from restaurant Bann Thai and staff drafting a bank lien for remaining amounts. The ordinance will formalize administrative and collection fees that apply to delinquent accounts, strengthening the town’s ability to pursue revenue due to the municipality.
The ordinance text, effective date and any fee schedule were included in the meeting packet but were not read aloud in detail during the meeting. The council did not state an effective date on the public record at the Oct. 15 meeting.
