Public hearing Tuesday on Breckenridge lodging tax increase for ballot

Posted: 22 Aug 2010 11:11 PM PDT

Breckenridge Town Council on Tuesday will make its final vote on a ballot question to increase the lodging tax by 1 percent to 3.4 percent. This would bring the overall tax paid on hotels, motels, etc. to 11.68 percent, and the increase would put more money into town marketing efforts.

The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m.

The proposed tax increase accompanies two other ordinances up for public hearing Tuesday; one would re-allocate further finances to marketing for five years while the other establishes a town marketing committee to advise the town on use of marketing finances.

If the marketing-committee ordinance is approved, it is the only one to take effect regardless of the outcome on Election Day.
