3. Proposed Resolution
Summary: Council will consider adopting a resolution in support of a ballot measure increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by three percent (3%); requesting the County Clerk to consolidate the election of said measure on the ballot with the Statewide General Election of November 5, 2024; and directing Staff to develop and submit the associated ballot items.
Background: At their July 17, 2024, meeting, the City Council directed Staff to place a 3% increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT, or “room tax”) rate in Ukiah, and created an ad hoc committee of Councilmembers Rodin and Sher to assist with the development of ballot materials. The July 17 staff report is provided for additional information as Attachment 1.
The ad hoc committee has met, and the recommended argument in support of the measure is provided as Attachment 2.
If passed, the 3% increase would generate roughly $420,000 for the General Fund, helping to support increased tourism promotion, code enforcement and public safety, park development and maintenance, and City Recreation program scholarships.
Transient Occupancy Taxes are collected by lodging establishments in the city limits; however, the entire tax is paid by the visitors of the room. Therefore, this tax helps ensure that visitors who use Ukiah’s streets, parks and services help pay for their fair share.
The proposed increase would put the total TOT in Ukiah at 13%, which is commensurate or lower than many of the surrounding areas.
Discussion: Staff, with the direction of the ad hoc, is recommending that Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 3) in support of a ballot measure increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by three percent (3%), and requesting the County Clerk to consolidate the election of said measure on the ballot with the Statewide General Election of November 5, 2024. Following adoption of the resolution, Staff will develop and submit the associated ballot documents.
Recommended Action: Adopt resolution in support of a ballot measure increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by three percent (3%); requesting the County Clerk to consolidate the election of said measure on the ballot with the Statewide General Election of November 5, 2024; and directing Staff to develop and submit the associated ballot items.

2. 2021-22_Cities_TOT-compressed_TBID fees not included Summary: The City Council will consider submitting a ballot measure to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax rate in Ukiah from 10% to 13%.
Background: Per the Revenue and Taxation Code, cities and counties may impose a “transient occupancy tax” (TOT) on persons staying 30 days or less in hotels, motels, and similar lodgings. The TOT is not paid by any local hotel, motel or short-term rental operator, but solely by guests staying within Ukiah. The transient occupancy tax is collected and remitted by all approved lodging operators in the City.
In 2006, Ukiah voters approved an increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax rate of 2%, increasing it from 8% to 10%. That increment was dedicated exclusively for the following purposes:
For the first two years, not less than 75% was expended for promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry, and not less than 50% thereafter, the balance has been expended for:
• Beautification of commercial areas within the City of Ukiah; • Economic development within the City of Ukiah;
• Park development and maintenance within the City of Ukiah; • Scholarships for local children to attend local recreation programs.
As such, currently, 1% of the increment (50%) funds the Visit Ukiah program, managed by the Greater Ukiah Business and Tourism Alliance, and 1% goes to support the other referenced activities. The remaining 8% goes to the General Fund, supporting public safety, parks, streets, and more. Attachment #1 shows the amount of TOT collected since 2009. With the dedicated promotional efforts of the Visit Ukiah program, the TOT revenue has more than doubled, now generating over $1 million annually for the General Fund and nearly $150,000 each for the Visit Ukiah program and the other programs/activities.
It is important to note that, in addition to the City’s TOT, there is a county-wide Business Improvement District for tourism; 1% is added to each lodging stay to help fund county-wide promotion, led by the Visit Mendocino program. Those funds are remitted directly to the County of Mendocino.
Attachment 1
Discussion: Ukiah’s TOT rate has not increased since 2007, when the last increase went into effect. Since that time, inflation and the cost of doing business in general has increased significantly, and the revenue generation has not kept pace with those changes. Moreover, some of the lodging establishments in Ukiah are putting undue strain on the City’s public safety resources, generating a disproportionately large number of calls for service. Public safety (police and fire) comprises the largest portion of the City’s General Fund budget.
Attached (Attachment 2) is an excerpt from a report compiled by the State Controller’s Office, which shows the adopted TOT rate for all California cities, including the Mendocino County cities that currently impose this tax.
While this most recent report is from FY 2021-22, Staff believes it is largely representative of the current tax rate by city. Rates range from a low of 8% to a high of 15.5%, with common rates including 10%, 12%, and 14%.
After careful analysis of the matter, Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff and a newly-formed ad hoc to prepare the resolution, ordinance, and Argument in Favor for a 3% increase to the TOT on the November 2024 ballot. The Transient Occupancy Tax, or “hotel room” tax will ask voters to increase the current TOT rate from 10% (last updated in 2006) to 13%. The increase would cost approximately an additional $4.50 on a $150 night stay for lodging guests. The TOT will help ensure that visitors to our city will share in the cost of providing public services and maintaining public facilities.
If approved by voters, the roughly $420,000 generated by this measure each year would provide funding to help the City plan for long-term budgeting of key City functions, including:
• Supporting Public Safety
• Additional Promotion of Ukiah
• Improving Infrastructure
• Maintaining and Improving Parks and Open Space
• Supporting City Recreation Programs
Therefore, Staff recommends the Council appoint an ad hoc committee to work with Staff to develop a resolution, ordinance and Argument in Favor for 3% increase to the TOT on the November 2024 ballot. Those documents will be presented to the Council at the August 7th meeting in anticipation of submitting them to the County Elections Office prior to the August 9th deadline.
Recommended Action: Direct Staff to submit to the voters in the November 2024 election a local 3% Increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax (Lodging Tax) and create an ad hoc committee to develop the corresponding materials.

Attachment 2
Ballot Argumentin Support of Measure __
Measure __ will add 3% to the existing hotel and motel room occupancy tax, which is primarily paid by tourists. The tax ensures that visitors to Ukiah share the cost of providing public facilities, benefitting tourists as well as members of the Ukiah community.
The current 10% TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) rate charged by the City was last amended in 2006.
Raising the rate to 13% is consistent with what many cities throughout California currently charge and is still lower than a number of surrounding jurisdictions.
Measure __:
• Will not increase property tax, sales tax, or business license fees. • Will only apply to overnight accommodations (hotel, motel, and short-term vacation rentals). • Will only apply to rooms that are actually rented and will be paid only by the person renting the room.
• Will amount to an additional $4.50 per night on a $150 average room. • Will support increased local investment in tourism promotion, which has already increased this revenue streamby more than double.
• These funds will be used right here in Ukiah and cannot be taken away by Sacramento.
A “Yes” vote for Measure __ will help provide needed additional revenue for, among other vital services, visitor attraction, park development and maintenance, code enforcement and public safety, and City recreation program scholarships.
It is only fair that tourists who use Ukiah’s park and recreation facilities and other public services contribute to theirupkeep. Please join a unanimous City Council in voting “yes” on Measure __ to keep Ukiah financially healthy.
