Agenda Title:

Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 6015 An Ordinance to Consolidate Provisions Related to the Municipal Gross Receipts Tax, Codify the Use of Revenue, and Appoint a Promotion Agency by Repealing Sections 3.16.040 and 3.16.060E. and Adding Chapter 3.18 to the Rapid City Municipal Code

Summary:

This ordinance consolidates into one chapter of the municipal code all the provisions related to the gross receipts (a/k/a bed, board, and booze) tax.  It is based on the Department of Revenue’s model gross receipts tax ordinance, with the exception of the section appointing a promotion agency.  There is an agreement with the Chamber of Commerce designating the Convention & Visitors Bureau as the promotion agency of the City, and the agreement also provides that the CVB gets 25% of the tax revenues from the gross receipts tax.   The language of that agreement has been incorporated into the ordinance, along with some safeguards should the requirements not be met.

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

No fiscal impact is expected, as the revenue is currently divided in the same manner as the proposed ordinance.
