Item No. 12 <br />TO: Mayor <br />Mayor Pro Tem <br />City Council <br />FROM: Robert G. Vine, Assistant City Manager <br />SUBJECT: Funding Lake Crook Boat Dock with City's Hotel Occupancy Tax <br />DATE: July 24, 2023 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Earlier this year, the City and the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce partnered to fund a new <br />boat ramp at Lake Crook with the City paying 80% and the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce <br />paying 20% of the project cost. Both organizations utilized Hotel Occupancy Tax to fund this <br />project. <br />After the ramp project was completed, a boat dock was purchased and installed next to the ramp <br />to improve this area even more. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />The boat dock had a total cost of $9,480, with $4,740 paid up front and the remaining $4,740 paid <br />upon delivery, all of these funds were taken out of a line item in the Public Works, Parks and <br />Recreation budget. With the intention of the boat dock to compliment the boat ramp project and <br />improve a space that would better accommodate events like the Jet Ski races and the Southern <br />Drag Boat Association races held in the summer, the opportunity to use funds from the Hotel <br />Occupancy Tax was a possibility. After speaking with City Attorney Stephanie Harris, it was <br />determined this would be an acceptable use for the City's portion of this fund. Lamar County <br />Chamber of Commerce President, Paul Allen, was also consulted and he provided the City with a <br />letter indicating his organization had no objections to the City using these funds in this manner. <br />
