RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending
Section 32-17, ' '-~e~.e~ Rate; Disposition of Revenues; Exceptions" of Article II,
"Hotel Occupancy Tax" of Chapter 32, "Taxation", of the Code of the City of Fort
Worth (1986).
DISCUSSION:
The 1989 session of the State Legislature made substantive changes to Section
351.101 of the tax code pertaining to the use of tax revenues from the Municipal
Hotel Occupancy Tax. It more clearly details the exclusive purposes for which
this tax may be used. This particular amendment to our City Code will bring it
into concurrence with State Law.
