Verify Hilliard Center hotel tax fund redirect ordinance

Context: Ordinance carried 9-0 on first reading 2026-02-17 with 'no comments from the Council or the public,' then passed 9-0 on the 2026-02-24 consent agenda as Enactment No. 033879.

Recommended: Pull the enacted ordinance text (Enactment No. 033879) and confirm the effective date and trust-account governance terms — the measure passed both readings with zero recorded debate, so no one has publicly vetted the compliance mechanics of diverting incremental hotel tax revenue away from the general fund.

Check Hilliard Center trust account for project funding

Applies if: You have a project within the Hilliard Center Complex Project Financing Zone

Context: Enactment No. 033879 amends the Hilliard Center Complex Project Financing Zone specifically to redirect incremental hotel tax revenue into a dedicated trust account.

Recommended: If you have a project inside the Hilliard Center Complex Project Financing Zone, request the new trust agreement — incremental hotel tax revenue is now routed there instead of the general fund, which may open a reimbursement or improvement-funding source for projects in that zone.

Ask why Hilliard Center hotel tax revenue was redirected

Context: Item 19 carried 9-0 on 2026-02-17 with zero council or public comment, then passed 9-0 as consent Item 7 on 2026-02-24 (Enactment No. 033879).

Recommended: File a records request for the staff memo behind the Hilliard Center Complex financing-zone amendment — it drew no discussion at first reading and was buried on the second-reading consent agenda, so there's no public explanation of who administers the new trust account or who benefits from it.
