Impact analysis
If approved by voters later, hotel guests would pay up to 4% more in lodging taxes, boosting city revenue.
If it proceeds, the city budget would gain new hotel-tax revenue that funds local services.
Hotel operators and travelers would bear the higher tax if voters eventually approve it.
