Whereas, On May 23, 2008, the Banking Commission transmitted to the City Council its recommendation that the discount percentage for early payment of real estate taxes prior to the dates on which such taxes become due and payable be set at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum for Fiscal Year 2009; now, therefore, be it
