Guthrie council rejects ordinance to change tourism commission reporting from monthly to quarterly
Summary
On second reading the council voted to disapprove Ordinance 2024-5, which would have allowed restaurant and lodging operators to report gross sales and pay fees to the Guthrie Tourism Commission quarterly rather than monthly; the motion to disapprove passed unanimously, voiding the amendment.
On second reading the Guthrie City Council voted to disapprove Ordinance 2024-5, an amendment that would have changed the reporting frequency for restaurant and lodging owners/operators to the Guthrie Tourism Commission from monthly to quarterly.
Chad Johnson moved to vote no on the ordinance amendment and Harry Green seconded; the motion to disapprove carried on a roll call with all yeas, voiding the proposed change to Ordinance 110.55. Council did not record public comment on the measure during the hearing.
The rejected ordinance sought to reduce the frequency at which gross-sales reporting and fee payments are required of certain hospitality businesses. With the disapproval on second reading, the existing monthly reporting requirement remains in effect unless council takes further action in a future session.
