The following definitions are copied verbatim from RCW 67.28.080.Note: State law changed in 2007 to include"operation"of tourism events in the definition of"tourism promotion." "Tourism" means economic activity resulting from tourists, which may include sales of overnight lodging, meals,tours, gifts, or souvenirs. 7I , ._ JEFFERSON COUNTY PARKS&REC Page 23 of 66 RECIEVED 09/09/25 Page 8 of 50 "Tourist" means a person who travels from a place of residence to a different town, city, county, state, or country, for purposes of business,pleasure, recreation, education, arts, heritage,or culture.

"Tourism-related means real or tangible personal property with a usable life of three or more facility" years, or constructed with volunteer labor that is: (a)(i) Owned by a public entity; (ii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended; or(iii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(6)of the federal internal revenue code of 1986,as amended,a business organization, destination marketing organization, main street organization, lodging association, or chamber of commerce and (b) used to support tourism, performing arts, or to accommodate tourist activities. 4. Proposal Evaluation Criteria Jefferson County Policy Statement for Use of the Lodging Tax Jefferson County's Lodging Tax Fund will be the primary source of county funding for activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism. The County does not make any multi- year commitments with Lodging Tax funds. However, service providers are not limited or prohibited from making repeat annual requests of the same nature.The County intends to maintain a reserve in the Fund, and will assess on an annual basis how much of the Fund to appropriate in a given year. The Jefferson County Commissioners have created a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to conduct an annual process to solicit and recommend Lodging Tax funded services for the County Commissioners consideration. Jefferson County will only consider proposals for use of the Lodging Tax from public and non-profit agencies. The Fund will ONLY be used for the following purposes: 1. The promotion of emerging or on-going tourism events, facilities, and activities by government or non-profit agencies so as to attract and draw tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. 2. Operation of a tourism promotion agency(such as a visitor and convention bureau); 3. The marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County.

"The marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists,"as listed in the RCW is our second priority,continuing years of investment in event marketing. 3.

Background Information Jefferson County's Lodging Tax The Lodging Tax is an excise (sales)tax authorized by State law in RCW 67.28,Public Stadium, Convention, Arts and Tourism Facilities. In 1998,the State Legislature amended Chapter 67.28 of the Revised Code of Washington(RCW) to allow local governments to assess an additional 2%tax on lodging for tourism promotion and/or tourism-related facilities (sometimes referred to as "the new 2%"). In April 1999, the County Commission,by Ordinance,increased the County's Lodging Tax from a 2%to a 4%tax as allowed by RCW 67.28. Jefferson County's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Per RCW 67.28.1817, the State requires that local governments collecting the Lodging Tax establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee consisting of at least five(5)members: The Chair —a member of the County Commission or their designee 2 members—representing the lodging industry 2 members—representing activities authorized to be funded by said tax The Committee's role is advisory in nature, with the Committee's purpose being to advise the County Commissioners. The Committee must select the candidates from amongst the applicants applying for use of revenues and provide a list of such candidates and recommended amounts of funding to the County Commissioners for final determination. In 1998,the Jefferson County Commissioners created such a Committee,and asked the Committee to establish an annual process to solicit and review proposals for tourism services eligible for lodging tax funding. Committee members are appointed by the County Commissioners as part of the County's regular advisory committee appointment process.

The Estimated Annual Economic Impact of Jefferson County's Day-Use Parks Ranges from$2.3 Million to$4.6 Million per Year While an exact,officially commissioned economic impact study for the 17 day-use parks managed by Jefferson County Parks and Recreation is not feasible,a data-informed estimate based on county-level tourism data suggests an immense annual economic contribution to the local economy.The estimated annual economic impact of Jefferson County owned day use parks ranges from approximately$2.3 million to$4.6 million. This impact stems from visitor spending on recreation, retail,food and beverages, and transportation within the county. This estimate is based on the 2023 "Value of Tourism to Jefferson County" report, which shows that 644,000 visitors contributed a total of$159.9 million to the local economy.The heart of the analysis is making a reasonable estimate of how many of these county visitors utilize the county day-use parks and how much they spend while they are here. Once that is done,the economic impact is calculated by multiplying the estimated number of park visitors by their average daily spending on goods and services within Jefferson County. 1. Estimating Park Visitation: Though we know park use is increasing,we don't have specific visitor counters at each of the 17 county-managed day- use parks so a direct count is impossible. But a conservative estimate has been made based on the overall county tourism figures. For our purposes it is assumed that between 10%and 20%of the 644,000 annual visitors to Jefferson County visit at least one of the county's day-use parks. We feel this is a low estimate and it results in an estimated range of 64,400 to 128,800 annual Jefferson County day-use park visitors. 2.Visitor Spending: The 2023 tourism report provides a breakdown of visitor spending across categories. For this estimate,the spending categories most relevant to day-use park visitors have been considered: recreation, retail,food,and transportation.The average spending per visitor in these categories is: • Recreation:$14.9 million/644,000 visitors=$23.14 per visitor • Retail:$23.4 million/644,000 visitors=$36.34 per visitor • Food and Beverage: $32.3 million/644,000 visitors=$50.15 per visitor • Transportation:$14.9 million/644,000 visitors=$23.14 per visitor To make a conservative spending profile for an average day-use park visitor,who may spend less than an overnight tourist,a selection of these costs is used. It is assumed that a typical day-use park visitor's spending includes recreation and some retail and food expenses. 3.Calculating the Economic Impact: The estimated economic impact is calculated using the following formula: Estimated Park Visitors x Average Daily Spending=Total Economic Impact JEFFERSON COUNTY PARKS&REC Page 51 of 66 KbCIlVtU UV/UV/Lb Pa•e36of50 Jefferson County Parks and Recreation LTAC Proposal 2026 Part Two—Day Use Parks Maintenance and Operations • Lower Estimate:64,400 visitors x($23.14 [Recreation] +$12.50[Food/Retail])= $2,295,496 • Upper Estimate: 128,800 visitors x($23.14 [Recreation] +$12.50[Food/Retail]) =$4,590,992 This assumes modest spending of$12.50 per visitor on items such as snacks,drinks,and small retail purchases in the communities surrounding the parks. Broader Economic Contributions of Outdoor Recreation in the Region The significance of parks and recreation to the Washington State economy is well-documented.The"Economic Analysis of Outdoor Recreation in Washington State" report highlights that for every$1 million spent on outdoor recreation, 10 jobs are supported.Applying this estimate suggests that Jefferson County's day-use parks could support between 23 and 46 local jobs. The presence of well-maintained parks enhances the quality of life for residents, attracts new residents and businesses, and contributes to increased property values, all of which have a positive, but less direct,economic benefit.
