The city of Vancouver is seeking applicants for four positions on the city’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The deadline to apply is Dec. 4.
The committee is a volunteer body that makes recommendations to the Vancouver City Council about how tax revenue collected from lodgings like hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts is spent. Over the years, the committee has helped award hundreds of thousands of dollars in lodging tax grants to local projects and events that increase tourism in the city.
Committee members must own or work for a hotel, motel or bed and breakfast required to collect the lodging tax. Members serve two-year terms and meet four to six times per year. Guidelines for committee membership are set by State of Washington law through RCW 67.28.1817.
