The Hood River City Council voted 4-3 to lift its current moratorium on lodging for recreational and leisure travel during its meeting Tuesday evening.  The decision came after about an hour and 15 minutes of discussion, with nearly all Councilors acknowledging there are numerous unknowns moving forward.  Councilor Tim Counihan said he thought the City should wait until a successful completion to Phase 1 reopening before allowing lodging to move forward, while fellow Councilor Erick Haynie said it was a careful and appropriate step and that the lodging sector must stand by state guidelines.  A group of Hood River lodging industry representatives have written a letter to City and County officials asking for the restriction to be lifted, saying it will be critically important for the tourism industry to transition to inspirational messaging inviting responsible visitation in slow stages.  The lift will occur on May 29 as the City extends its emergency orders into mid-June.  Mayor Kate McBride, Haynie, Jessica Metta, and Mark Zanmiller voted yes, while Counihan, Megan Saunders, and Gladys Rivera voted no.
