It took the Bowie City Council 15 minutes to address a brief agenda of business Tuesday night.

The first reading of an ordinance to restructure how the hotel occupancy tax is allocated was approved on a 4-2 vote.

This change was recommended by the hotel/motel tax advisory committee at the Jan. 6 council meeting.
