Item B in Closed Session is interesting. Time to renew Pacifica's management agreement with the state to run LMBeach. Pacifica covers the cost of beach maintenance, compliance, enforcement. Parking fees pay for only some of the expense. Do we pay the state any type of fees? Wouldn't it save this city beaucoup bucks to have the state run it? Who'd notice the difference?
ReplyDeleteI like how city hall buries what they are spending taxpayer money on. So much for an open and transparent city.

ReplyDeleteThe Chamber maid knows how to get $$$ from City Hall.
Woke up with gas, did ya, 806? That last one reeks--even for you.
ReplyDelete224, could be 806,804,802,800,758 (who posts selective expenses) doesn't understand the City is a municipality which spends money in the course of doing business. Legal is necessary; and, the Chamber of Commerce collects and accounts for City Hotel taxes.
ReplyDeleteBut why stop there? This City Council Agenda Item 1 (disbursements, 12/10/15-12/30/15) is 5 pages-- surely such lack of "transparency" on a bank ledger must be worthy of a "forensic audit", (or not).
And just what do you suppose the reason for the increase in attorney bills is for?
ReplyDeleteKathy
ReplyDeleteThese are checks from city hall to the chamber. Not the other way around.
So inquiring minds want to know why Sue Digre lived in the Pacifica Skies Trailer park?
ReplyDeleteMayor Sue Digre lived in the park for much of last year but did not accept the relocation package although she thought when it was first proposed that it was a “good deal.”
She said, however, that the deal wasn’t good for some residents.
728-955 Do you use a timer or does this stuff really occupy your mind so completely each morning?
ReplyDeleteThe City is the clearing house for the BID monies that are paid to the Chamber. This is not City money but the additional $1 added on to the daily room fees at the hotels to fund the BID.
ReplyDeleteThese monies have nothing to do with the TOT fees.
Thanks Chris, 514. Okay, here's the City Hotel TOT and BID information.
ReplyDelete1. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT).
2. Hotel Business Improvement District fee (HBID, or BID).
Wait am I missing something.
ReplyDeleteYou stay at a hotel in Pacifica. You pay the daily rate, plus sales tax plus the TOT tax and that tax is turned into the city by the hotel owners or managers.
This is a payment from the City to the Chamber.
Thank you Lionel for hitting the nail on the head last night. One of the top 5 comments ever
ReplyDeleteYes, 6:55, you're missing something. The payment from the city to the Chamber is the BID, not the TOT. Please see earlier links.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bray, that was a comment from outer space. Care to elaborate. Or, better yet, don't.
ReplyDeleteAll the articles staff dug up on medical marijuana dispensaries was negative. Bias?
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's been any issues with the 2 clubs operating here
