North Salt Lakes City Council unanimously voted to approve an Innkeepers Tax on the citys hotels and motels. The new ordinance calls for a one percent tax on each nights occupancy in any hotel or motel in operation within the city limits. The ordinance will be effective on Jan. 1, 1996. City Manager, Collin Wood, said the tax will bring in an estimated $12,000 in annual revenue for the city. Wood said the funds will be earmarked for use in the Community Action Fund. Council member Stan Porter stressed the need for the funds to remain separate from other revenue brought in by the city. My concern is that the money not get lost in the General Fund, but remain in the Community Action Fund, Porter said. Wood reassured Porter the funds would have a separate line item in the citys budget, and would be used only for the projects approved through the Community Action Fund. North Salt Lake Mayor Clare Jones said this type of tax is commonplace throughout Utah and the United States. The majority of municipalities have this type of tax in place. It will provide much needed revenue to the city for special projects, Jones said.
