HomeMy Public PortalAbout2019 Clerk Tourism LOT Annual Report (2)What We Do
Idaho Code allows for an occupancy tax upon hotel, motel, and other sleeping
accommodations rented or leased for a period of thirty (30) days or less. The
voters of the City of McCall voted to approve an ordinance that provided that
the City of McCall has met the requirements set out in Idaho Code. The City
Clerk of the City of McCall is authorized and empowered to administer,
regulate, and collect payment of all non -property taxes adopted and imposed by
the ordinance. The Clerk shall have all of the powers necessary and proper to
carry out the provisions of the ordinance.
The ordinance also calls for a Local Option Tax Commission. The members of
the LOT Commission have the responsibility to develop annual budgets and
make specific recommendations for the use of the local option non -property tax
revenues derived from the taxes assessed pursuant to the ordinance. The LOT
Commission annually hosts public meetings prior to making its
recommendation to the City Council for the budget for the upcoming fiscal
year. At the meetings, the applicants for the LOT revenues present their projects
to the LOT Commission. The LOT Commission then deliberates and makes
their recommendation to Council. The LOT Commission develops a proposed
budget for the use of the LOT revenues to be included in the overall City
budget. The chairperson of the LOT Commission attends the City's staff level
budget meetings in a capacity equivalent to that of a department head during the
annual budget development.

Mission
McCall is a
destination resort
City that derives a
major portion of its
economic well-being
from businesses
catering to the
ecreational needs of
travelers. These
isitors and travelers
place an undue
burden on the
taxpayers of the City
by inflating the
number of people the
City is required to
provide services
for. The local option,
non -property tax is
an opportunity for
McCall to offset the
cost -impact of these
visitors on the City's
infrastructure.

LOT revenues continued to climb in FY19 with a 15.5% increase over
FY18. For Fiscal Year 20, the Clerks office received 50 LOT funding
applications requesting a total of $1,290,869 of the LOT funds. Of the
50, 42 received priority budgeting, 4 projects were recommended for
contingency (3 of which received some priority funding), and 7 projects
were eliminated.
Based on the successful FY19 LOT revenue, the FY20 budget was set at
an aggressive amount of $700,000. Contingency projects were set at
$327,290. Council approved the LOT Commission's project
recommendations with a few changes.
This was the first year under the new 3% LOT ordinance, which is in
effect until 2028. The new ordinance passed at the polls by 90%.
The LOT Commissioners and their designations for FY20, for two-year
terms, are Cami Hedges - Business Owner, Michael Hayes - Committee
Representative, and Phil Roth - Resident at Large; for four-year terms
we have Tabitha Martineau - Business Owner, Clair Remsberg - Com-
mittee Representative, Leesa Johnson - Resident at Large, and Paul
Christensen - Senior Representative. For FY21, there will be 3 seats
available for appointment.
