FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION


Officials of the Department of Economic Development - Tourism assume no fiscal impact to their department.


Officials from the City of Grandview (Grandview) estimate the proposal will have no fiscal impact in 2008; $100,000 in 2009; and $100,000 in 2010. Grandview has never had a hotel/motel tax before and officials state they are seeing an increase in traffic now that the Triangle project is complete. They estimate there are now 70,000 to 75,000 cars a day along Highway 71. This will increase with the opening of the National Nuclear Security Administration complex in 2010 and the intermodal facility at the former Richards-Gebaur Airport starting in the spring of 2008. Grandview has no funding for marketing, public relations, tourism, or infrastructure related to completing the Downtown Corridor Plan.


Costs associated with this proposal would relate to an election this year and voters have to authorize the tax. Grandview officials are not aware of any revenue losses associated with this proposal.


Oversight assumes this proposal increases the tax to 5% that Grandview could charge guest of hotels and motels and other business that offer sleeping rooms. Oversight assumes the tax could not be implemented without voter approval. Therefore, Oversight assumes this proposal to be permissive and there would be no state or local fiscal impact.
