Lodging Tax Advisory Committee members develop funding recommendations
Development of recommendations will immediately follow applicant presentations. Recommendations may
be "tallied" on the enclosed sheet titled "2023 Lodging Tax Funding Requests and LTAC Award
Recommendations." These will then be communicated to Sarah Farr who will enter the information on a
spreadsheet that will be projected on screen.
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee member discussion and award recommendation
Members will openly discuss individual award recommendations. Final product will be a formal LTAC motion
that states specifically how much money should be awarded to each applicant. Allocation recommendations
may require more than one motion, specifically for fund transfers and for awards in each fund 105 and 104.
