ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE —
Vote YES on Measure The Clovis City Council approved placing Measure _ on the ballot after a 25-person community member citizens advisory committee recommended placing a tax measure before the voters of Clovis to raise additional revenue to fund the hiring and retention of more police officers to help Clovis remain the safest city in the central valley.
Measure would raise the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in the City of Clovis from 10% to 12%. This is the hotel tax paid by tourists and visitors who stay in our hotels and motels; City of Clovis residents do not pay this tax unless they stay in a local hotel or motel.
Visitors use our streets, parks, and emergency services as they enjoy all that Clovis has to offer, and we welcome all to experience what Clovis has to offer. Raising the TOT represents a direct and fair way to recover the increased costs associated with visitor stays in Clovis.
A 2% increase in the TOT will bring in an additional $500,000 annually and will make the TOT rate in Clovis the same as Fresno and other nearby cities. Approval of Measure _ _ will help Clovis maintain the important balance between remaining competitive for tourism dollars and providing needed funding for critical public safety services.
Measure _revenues will be available to help fund critical police services and hire additional police officers, and because none of the money can be taken away by the State, all Measure revenue will stay here in Clovis.
Please join me in voting YES on Measure _ —, and help provide additional funding to keep Clovis the safest city in the central valley.
Jose Flores, Mayor of the City of Clovis
