Local Measures
City of Lincoln City
Amends Charter to increase lodging tax by 1.5%.
Question
Should the City of Lincoln City transient room tax be increased from 8% to 9.5%?
Summary
This Charter amendment will not change how revenues from the existing 8% transient room tax are currently allocated. The amendment will increase the lodging tax paid by visitors to Lincoln City by 1.5%. The revenues from the 1.5% tax increase will be allocated at least 70% to tourism promotion or facilities including non-profit events and programs, and no more than 30% to public safety and general fund purposes.
Chapter 11 of the City Charter presently provides for a transient room tax in the amount of 8% to be imposed on the occupant of overnight lodging in Lincoln City hotels and motels. The revenues of the 8% tax are directed as follows: one-eighth to the repayment of bonds for the Civic Center, two-eighths to tourism marketing of Lincoln City through the Visitors and Convention Bureau, one-eighth to public safety purposes, and four eights to street maintenance and improvements, parks maintenance and improvements, visitor signs and administrative costs of these tax-related expenditures.
City of Yachats
Purchase of Land for Water Reservoir South of the Bridge.
Question
Should the City purchase land for a water reservoir south of the Yachats River Bridge, price not to exceed $100,000?
Summary
Referred to the Voters by the City Council. All water customers south of the Yachats River are served by one main line crossing the river at the bridge. Constructing a .25 million gallons treated water reservoir at a location sought of that bridge will increase the water reserves provide more uniform flow and pressure distribution in the southern half of the water system and reduce interruptions in service if the transmission line crossing the river were damaged. Several potential sites have been identified. The Public Works Director and the City's engineers are performing a siting study to confirm the best location and elevation for the reservoir. This study will consider ease of access, design considerations, and purchase price. The City Council shall follow a public hearing and adopt the format "Findings of Fact" stating the selection rationale and identifying the proposed lot before purchasing any lot. Yachats City Charter requires authorization from voters for land purchase. Purchase price not to exceed $100,000 and to be paid from existing reserves.
