Subject Re: Hotel Tax Election[]
I've contacted Mary's office (she was not there) and verbally gave them the date of the election. I also
sent them a certified copy of the Resolution setting the date of the Election and the wording for the public
measure.
Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks, John.
