Asenda ttem f, cl L
Date 12- Q-l i3
I would like to place a discussion item on the December 9,2015, City Commission meeting
agenda regarding the following:
1. The proposed equal distribution to the funding categories to which (if the
Convention Center Hotel Lease is approved by the voters) the Hotel rent
payments are to be dedicated; and
2. The duration of the aforestated funding dedications (i.e. right now, the
funding dedications -if approved-would run for the g9 year terms of the
proposed Hotel Lease).
Finally, I understand that, per Resolution No. 2015-29133, any amendments to the proposed
ballot question would require a 5/7ths vote of the City Commission.
I would request that this item be approved for placement on the agenda as an Addendum;
since ballot questions for the March 15,2015 election have to be submitted to the County
Supervisor of Elections no later than December 22,2015, this matter is time sensitive.
