| | MANAGER'S REPORT:
This ordinance would place the question of increasing the hotel-motel room rental tax from seven to nine percent on the ballot at the next regular municipal election.
The hotel-motel room rental tax was last increased in 1988. The increased rate authorized by this ordinance would generate an estimated additional $400,000 per year in revenue. The intent is to use the funding initially for renovations to the Juneau Arts and Cultural Center, and then for improvements to Centennial Hall, the CBJ’s parking infrastructure, visitor information and marketing services, and other tourism and visitor services and facilities. | |
