FROM: Leslie Locke, Executive Assistant
DATE: July 6, 2020
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT, Amendment No. 1 re: 2020 Lodging Tax Grant Funding;
Reduction in Funding $10,465 for a Total of $62,035; Jefferson County
Historical Society
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners are asked to approve an
amendment reducing funding to the Jefferson County Historical Society from Fund 125 Hotel/Motel,
used to promote tourism through the Gateway Visitor Center in Jefferson County in 2020.
ANALYSIS: The COVID-19 Pandemic has severely reduced tourism, and thus, is also reducing
lodging tax revenue to Fund 125 Hotel/Motel, that funds the County's tourism promotion activities
authorized by state law.
On May 26, the County Commissioners passed a motion approving the 2020 voluntary award
revisions for tourism promotion activities as recommended by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee,
including earmarking the 2020 reductions by each tourism promotion organization for potential use in
2021 by the same organization. However, several organizations already had executed contracts for
2020 before being approached about voluntarily offering to make reductions.
The proposed Amendment implements the reduction in funding in 2020 for the Jefferson County
Historical Society and the Gateway Visitor Center, and earmarks the dollars reduced for potential use
in 2021, subject to a future recommendation by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee subject to
approval by the Commissioners.
FISCAL IMPACT: An original allocation to the Jefferson County Historical Society of $72,500 in
Hotel -Motel funds to operate the Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center and promote Jefferson
County tourism has voluntarily been reduced to $62,035 for 2020. The $10,465 reduction is earmarked
for potential use by the Jefferson County Historical Society to operate the Olympic Peninsula Gateway
Visitor Center in 2021, contingent on a recommendation by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to
award those funds to the Jefferson County Historical Society in 2021 and approval by the Board of
County Commissioners.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and sign the amendment to agreement.
