(MENA) The Mena A & P Commission met on Tuesday afternoon in City Hall, where they discussed about the importance of enforcing penalties toward businesses that are not paying their taxes in a timely manner to the city.
The commission noted that a couple of businesses are not in compliance and should face stiffer sanctions, such as the revocation of their business license, which in turn would force the business out of business essentially.
Councilman James Earl Turner will get with the City Solicitor, to make sure that the city is following the proper steps, if forced to do so, for the lack of payments.
The commission discussed of upcoming marketing strategies for the second half of the year, talked about plans for events in the coming year and the update on the Bicycle Tourism Grant proposal.
