Bee Cave approves $75,000 in hotel-tax support for Special Olympics Texas winter games
Summary
Council unanimously approved a $75,000 hotel‑occupancy‑tax award to Special Olympics Texas to support the 2027 Winter Games (Feb. 12–14, 2027); organizers expect about 2,500 guests and 500 hotel room nights in Bee Cave.
Rebecca Reguera and Chad Eason presented Special Olympics Texas’ request for $75,000 from the hotel‑occupancy‑tax fund to host the 2027 Winter Games. Eason said the event expects approximately 2,500 guests overall, with about 500 attendees expected to use Bee Cave hotels; he noted Lakeway may be asked for additional funding (a minimum bid of roughly $350,000 was discussed for Lakeway).
A resident asked how businesses can learn about sponsorship and promotions; Eason said Special Olympics provides sponsorship packets and registration materials (coaches receive packets to share business information). Rebecca Reguera reported the HOT fund balance and council approved the request unanimously.
