From the transcript
So, future ordinances to increase revenues, um, the sales tax cap, that's going to come before the assembly at the second meeting of May. I'm just taking the old one and dusting it off, adding some different language, updating sales tax caps that have maybe increased in other communities, um, because that was part of that ordinance. And then it'll be before you at that second meeting. The marine passenger fee ordinance increase will be at this next assembly meeting on Monday. I'll start it.
