Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Director of Finance
Greg Sullivan, City Attorney
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4213, assessing a $1 per Room Night Fee for Overnight
Stays at Lodging Facilities located in the Bozeman Tourism Business Improvement District.
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2009
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 4213, assessing a $1 per Room Night Fee
for Overnight Stays at Lodging Facilities located in the Bozeman Tourism Business
Improvement District.
BACKGROUND: If the City Commission of the City of Bozeman approves the work plan and
budget for the Bozeman Tourism Business Improvement District, the Commission will consider
passing Resolution No. 4213, which establishes that every lodging facility included within the
boundaries of the Bozeman Tourism Business Improvement District that provides ten (10) or
more rooms for temporary overnight accommodations, lodging, dwelling, or sleeping facilities
for transient guests, and hostels, assess a $1.00 per room night fee for overnight stays.
FISCAL EFFECTS: As of the date of this resolution, local hotels will be assessed $1.00 per
room night for overnight stays. Total annual assessments are estimated to be approximately
$450,000. Because Business Improvement District assessments are to be collected in the same
manner as other taxes and assessments, hotel owners will track and report their overnight stays to
the TBID Board. Based on annual totals, the City will bill for these amounts next fall. Property
owners will receive a bill for their total night stays (from October 19, 2009 – June 30, 2010) in
October 2010.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
