AN ORDINANCE repealing Ordinance 125442, which imposed a tax on short-term rental operators under Chapter 5.54 of the Seattle Municipal Code.
The Report of the City Council Agenda Item to cancel Bill 119 263 Repealing Ordinance 125442 which impose a tax on short term rental operators under Chapter 5.54 of the Yellow Missile Code. So, Councilmember O'Brien and I know we have some logistical things you have to work on. You have the floor. Thank you. The president. So this is a bill that will repeal the short term rental tax that we imposed last year. Just discusses a few times there's been state legislation that it provides an alternate path for us to collect a similar taxing amount through a different mechanism. But it requires that we repeal this. And the bill, as introduced, references an attachment which is the ordinance it will repealing, but it did not include it. So I would like to I believe I need to suspend the need to suspend the rules so I can amend this bill by adding attachment one. So just to be clear, we will move to suspend the rules for the rule we are suspending. Is the two hour notification a requirement that this be placed before us within the two hour period? But because of the circumstances, unless there's objection, will suspend the rules and then we'll verbally chastise Councilmember O'Brien after the meeting. I look forward to that. Thank you. So I will move to amend Council Bill 119263 by adding attachment one, which is ordinance 12544 to. Serve second removed and second and to amend the Council Bill 119263. As stated by Councilmember O'Brien, all those in favor of the amendment say I. I oppose the ayes have it. Go ahead, Councilman O'Brien. So I think I've already spoken to this, but if anyone has any questions on this, I'm happy to answer them. Any further comments or questions? I think we are. Thanks for describing this during council briefing as well. So if not, please call the roll on the passage of the amended Bill Gonzalez i. Herbold i. Johnson whereas Musgrave I. O'Brien i lakeshore president herrell i adan favor an unopposed. A bill passed the chair the senate please read agenda item number three.
