Purpose: The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee reviews and comments on proposals for expenditures from the City's Lodging Tax Fund, also known as the Civic Improvement Fund.
The Civic Improvement Fund, created through a state tax on overnight stays in lodging establishments (ie., hotels, motels, and B&Bs) provides funding for projects that will promote tourism and for the acquisition or operation of tourism-related facilities.
According to the RCW, the Committee is required to include:
- Two representatives from Bainbridge Island businesses which collect lodging taxes, and
- Two representatives of businesses or agencies authorized to receive lodging tax funding as specified in RCW 67.28.
The City of Bainbridge Island's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee also includes two non-voting, at large representatives.
Read the final reports submitted by 2011 funding recipients to learn more about the projects.
