Subject: 2025 LTAX Fund RFP Application Review and Recommendations
Background / Analysis:
2025 Preliminary Annual Lodging Tax Budget Recommendation
At the September 26, 2024 LTAC Meeting the Committee recommended a preliminary budget for 2025 in
the amount of $1,060,500. The Committee has required a designation of 5% of this budget be for capital
facilities reserve ($53,000). The removal of the capital funds held in reserve provides a total of
$1,007,500 for the 2025 LTAX Funding Program. The current categorical disbursement is as follows:
Category Amount_
Capital ................................................................................................................ $ 212,100
Non-Fixed Operations ........................................................................................ $ 350,000
Non-Fixed Marketing ......................................................................................... $ 265,100
Events.................................................................................................................. $ 127,300
Master Plan Priorities (Committee Members Choice) ....................................... $ 53,000
Total Budget Available ..................................................................................... $ 1,007,500
Excess and Capital Reserves
The current amount of available reserve funding is estimated to be $736,500. This amount is the excess
available after the 25% fund balance requirement per City financial policies have been met. As a matter
of LTAC policy, 5% of the annual budget is reserved for capital facilities. With the addition of the 2025
amount ($53,000), the capital reserve budget will be $53,000 in 2025 due to use of this reserve in 2024
for the City Pier Tower repairs.
Summary: The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) reviews and recommends approval of
funding proposals for the final LTAX fund budget each year. Funding can be provided in the budget for
any of the following purposes: the operation of tourism-related facilities and events, marketing services
that promote tourism in Port Angeles, and the construction and maintenance of City-owned tourism
related facilities such as city parks and recreation facilities. The approved budget proposal and any excess
fund balance that has resulted from higher-than-expected lodging tax collection in the previous year may
be used to fund application proposals.
Funding: Lodging Tax budget of $1,060,500 for FY2025 with the proposed category funding and
$736,500 in available excess reserve funding.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the LTAC review the Committee scoring sheets and available
balance, award of funding to applications, and recommend the final FY2025 LTAX budget to City Council.
