If sales taxes are reduced, Malone worries how that will impact a town that heavily depends on them to provide such services as snow removal and public transportation. Cities and counties could look to transient room taxes as a way to make up the difference, Malone said. He recognizes the appeal of tax changes, because the state is working off tax rules that are from a different era, he said. And with the state’s $1.3 billion surplus, he said it seems to be a good time to reevaluate taxes. “Economies change, spend- ing powers change,” he said “It’s not the same environment that it was 30 years ago in terms of how we spend our dollars.” He hopes the state remembers Park City’s unique economy and demographics as it makes those decisions. Alcohol is another major topic during this year’s session that could impact tourism in the state. The debate over whether or not to allow beer that contains more than 3.2 percent alcohol in grocery stores is brewing among lawmakers and their constituents. After states like Colorado and Kansas voted to sell full-strength beer in stores, fewer national brands intend to make beer that meets the requirements to be sold in Utah supermarkets. Malone said it is good for the craft breweries in the state that have been meeting the demand with their own 3.2 percent beers, but it also restricts the selection of beer available at stores. “Obviously we want to see that craft brewery succeed and we are proud of the product,” he said. “(There is) a balanc- ing act between are we doing to advance our own brewery or should we be more in line with other states so that we can have a wider choice for the consumer?” Another possible bill that had not been filed as of Friday morning could benefit restaurants serving alcohol, Malone said. The rumored bill would permit servers who are at least 18 years old to take an alcohol order and pick up used glasses that contained alcohol. Currently, workers have to be 21 in order to take an alcoholic beverage order or to bus tables. That, Malone said, would help restaurants open their applicant pool. Additionally, Rep. Mike Winder, R-West Valley, has proposed a bill that would reduce restrictions on the proximity of establishments serving alcohol to parks, schools and churches. Malone said proximity has been an issue on Main Street, because there are small parks around the street and several restaurants that serve alcohol in the historic district. |
