AGENDA TITLE: Introduce Ordinance Amending Title 3, Chapter 3.12
"Transient Occupancy Tax" by Repealing Section 3.12.035
Surcharge
MEETING DATE: December 18, 2002
PREPARED BY: Randall A. 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.
