Subject: 2026 LTAX Fund RFP Application Review and Recommendations
Background / Analysis:
2026 Preliminary Annual Lodging Tax Budget Recommendation
At the June 12, 2025 LTAC Meeting the Committee recommended the City Council adopt the LTAC
Funding & Disbursement Work Plan and Procedures with the proposed changes. The Committee has
required 20% of Lodging Tax expenditures be related to capital projects, in addition to 5% of this budget
held for capital facilities reserve. The remaining available budget can be expended in any way the
Committee decides, including additional capital expenditures. LTAC policy also includes holding excess
reserves in the amount of $200,000 for emergency purposes. These reserve funds can be made available
for expenditure upon recommendation of the Committee. Withholding the $200,000 reserve provides a
total available 2026 budget of $1,760,900 for the 2026 LTAX Funding Program. The current categorical
disbursement is as follows:
Category Amount_
Capital ................................................................................................................ $ 234,600
Remaining Available Budget ............................................................................. $ 1,526,300
Total Budget Available ..................................................................................... $ 1,760,900
Capital Reserves (Use by Committee Approval) ............................................... $ 58,600
Emergency Reserves (Use in 2026 by approved motion only) .......................... $ 200,000
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 $1,760,900 is available for FY2026. Additionally, $200,000 in
emergency reserves has been held in accordance with LTAX policy and would be available for use if
approved by the LTAC. An additional $58,600 is available if approved by the Committee from funds held
for the Capital reserve per policy.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the LTAC review the Committee scoring sheets, award
funding to applications by motion, and recommend the final FY2026 LTAX budget to City Council by
motion.

Excess and Capital Reserves
In the 2026 Budget $600,000 was included from excess reserves caused by higher than anticipated tax
collection in prior years. This excess reserve is included in the $1.76 million budget available per the
LTAC Funding & Disbursement Work Plan and Procedures. The 25% fund balance requirement per City
financial policies has been maintained. As a matter of LTAC policy, 5% of the annual projected revenue
budget is also reserved for capital projects. The amount held for the capital reserve in 2026 is $58,600 for
a cumulative capital reserve of $58,600 due to approved capital spending that occurred in 2025.
2026 Annual Lodging Tax (LTAX) Request for Proposals (RFP) Application Process
The LTAC recommended major changes to the RFP procedures, proposal eligibility, and scoring criteria
that City Council approved Resolution 04-25 for the LTAC Funding Work Plan and Procedures guidance
document. City Staff revised the LTAC RFP application and submission process, and provided training
for the 2026 RFP on September 19th. This training was also recorded and posted on the City’s website
and RFP. The RFP was issued for the 2026 LTAX Fund Application on September 19th, 2025. The
application was advertised in the following ways:
1. As a newsflash on the City’s website.
2. On the City’s opt-in bids and RFP’s webpage and notification.
3. In an email to the previous year’s applicants.
4. An announcement made at the September 19th LTAX applicant training.
Applications were due at 11:59 PM on October 12th. Thirty-eight (38) applications were reviewed by the
LTAC with a total request amount of $1,696,425. The chart below provides the balance and request for
funding by category:
Request Type Request
Amount Approved Balance Balance less
request
Capital Balance $ 325,189 $ 234,600 $ (90,589)
Remaining Balance $ 1,371,236 $ 1,526,300 $ 155,064
Total $ 1,696,425 $ 1,760,900 $ 64,475
Capital Reserve Available $ - $58,600 $ 58,600
Available Emergency Reserve $ 0 $ 0 $200,000
Total Reserves Available $ 0 $ 58,600 $ 258,600
The LTAC were provided all applications with scoring sheets that reflected the scoring criteria for each
category in the LTAC Funding Work Plan and Procedures guidance document. Staff has compiled the
individual LTAC scoring and provided a ranking based on the average score of each application.
Although the capital requests exceed the approved balance, the remaining balance may be used to cover
the remainder of capital requests, should the Committee see fit. See Attachments 1 and 2 for Committee
scoring and average ranking. The final ranking and Committee scores for all submitted applications can
be found in Attachments 1 and 2.
