transient taxes during the month of June, its last reporting month, which was
up from $11,431.74 in May and $16,488.25 in June of 2018. During the month of
July there were 131 visitor guides requested and at the end of the month there

vacant. It will be up to the fiscal court to approve a new board member once
several options presented before county leaders.
