Presenters (Mr. Clo and Mr. Bartlett) reviewed revenue projections based on $13 million in lodging collections and urged a 5% lodgers-tax increase to fund tourism marketing, infrastructure and reserves; they projected roughly $130,000 (3%), $260,000 (4%), $391,000 (5%) and $521,000 (6%) in additional annual revenue and recommended stakeholder engagement and transparent reporting. Commissioners asked about voter approval requirements and competitiveness with Cortez; staff said the measure must be placed on a countywide ballot and the public would vote. Presenters suggested 5% is preferable to 6
