Delinquent Tax Report

Mr. Kimmel stated that there was no Delinquent Tax Report available to be discussed tonight. Ms. Biagiarelli stated that the report had not been discussed yet.

Ms. Biagiarelli said that she has been talking to the Mayor about the issue, and that as far as the preliminary goes, they brought in $2.1m.
