Hays, City Attorney RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council introduce an Ordinance Repealing Section 3.12.035 of the Lodi Municipal Code. BACKGROUND: At the recent election the voters were asked to approve a Hotel/Motel Occupancy tax of 10%. A positive vote would have increased the current rate by 1% and had the effect of validating a previously adopted 3% surcharge to the City's base rate of 6%. The measure failed to pass. The City is therefore in the position of reverting to the 6% rate. This is accomplished by repealing the referenced section which established the 3% surcharge. Funding: Not applicable.
