RESOLUTION NO. 31
SERIES OF 2020
A RESOLUTION URGING THE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF
THE CITY TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF BALLOT ISSUE NO. 2B AT
THE NOVEMBER 3, 2020 REGULAR ELECTION, TO INCREASE
THE CITY'S LODGING TAX FROM 2% TO 5%
WHEREAS, the City's lodging tax is currently at 2%;
WHEREAS, after consideration of other municipal lodging taxes and the need for
increased revenues, the City Council determined that an increase in the lodging tax from
2% to 5% would be appropriate, subject to voter approval;
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted Ordinance No. 23, Series 2020, to
submit the proposed increase in lodging tax to the City's registered electors at the City's
regular election on November 3, 2020;
WHEREAS, typically, lodging taxes are paid by visitors to the City, rather than
City residents, so the increase will have less impact on City residents than other tax
increases;
WHEREAS, the additional funds raised from the lodging tax increase would be
used by the City to provide general governmental services, including without limitation
administration, law enforcement, utilities and human services; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. § 1-45-117(1)(b)(III)(A), the City Council is
expressly authorized to pass a resolution in support of a ballot issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Englewood City Council hereby urges the registered electors of the
City to vote "yes" on Ballot Issue 2B at the City's regular election on November 3, 2020.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 5th day of October, 2020.
