During public input, Lawrence Quintana thanked the council for past support but said he was "concerned" that a recent lodgers-tax application was tabled without the applicants being allowed to present to the city council after a review by the larger tax board.
Quintana described the application process as time-consuming—requiring staff work, research and documentation—and said he wanted the council to ensure applicants have the opportunity to present their proposals before final decisions. He asked that the council provide applicants the chance to speak and review all facts before action.
