2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners May 22, 2001
hotel/motel owners and their families will remain in the
community while SMG are strangers with only a five year
contract. Wurtzel who said he voted against putting this
issue on the ballot stated that this is something that the
Board has already discussed and agreed upon; further, it
would be unfair to have residents pay for a ticket surcharge.
Collison went on to say that the 1% hotel/motel tax increase
was the recommendation of the Building Authority and
something she felt would not be as drastic as a ticket
surcharge. Mallette said he talked with several hotels in
his district. They had no problem with the 1%. Motion to
approve 2.11 carried with nay votes recorded for Blaine, Horn
and O'Hare.
