Members of the downtown committee approved a 5% increase on the tax they collect after discussing the measure and moving to approve it.

A committee member introduced the item and noted she had not placed it on the written agenda earlier. She said the measure would be a 5% increase on the tax the committee collects. A member then moved to approve and another member seconded; the motion was carried by voice vote with members answering “Aye.”

The transcript did not record a roll‑call tally or the full motion text beyond the committee member’s summary that the increase would amount to 5% on the tax collected. No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting transcript.
