1. As the Mayor reported, local opt sales taxes are down from last year, I have started tracking this to see its affect on revenue. Local opt sales taxes have steadily decreased since 2007.  I have been working with our town attorney on the revised business licenses ordinance and I have prepared for tonight’s meeting.   I have met with Bill Huggins from the MASC on hospitality tax, we are in the process of researching an ordinance for its implementation.  I paid one ticket assessment this month.  I am working on the workers comp audit, which is the first time the town has had a physical audit here at Town Hall.  I will be reporting the results when the report comes in.  All employee tax forms have been completed and the 1099’s have been mailed.
2. I attended a Red Flag class on identify theft and I will be working on a plan for the safeguard of our information.  I attended a luncheon with the Chief in which he received a check for the littering grant.  I was contacted by Charles Williams concerning the Public Highway Safety Grant, which I passed on to the Chief for review.  I will be working on getting information together for the next cycle for the T-21 grants.
3. I met with our code enforcement agent, who is our building inspector, concerning properties around the town.  These properties are the ones that are in need of repair or cleanup.  I have attached an ordinance in reference to this to the council package.  I spoke to the Mayor and asked if a council member could work to identify our properties in question, in fairness to our citizens.  I received an email from Chris Bickley on the state-mandated planning training classes.  I will be getting in touch with those who are affected.  We have been working on getting dates with the jury trials which hope to start the end of March.
