TD City Council Approves TRT Ordinance Changes

The Dalles City Council approved revisions to the municipal transient room tax ordinance.  Much of it cleaned up outdated references to old projects, but also removed clauses to help fund water use by the Northern Wasco Parks and Recreation District at Kramer Field.  Mayor Rich Mays says now the parks district and Wasco County, which owns Kramer Field and took over maintenance duties last year, will come to the City with a financial request to use TRT funds during the budgeting process.  He added multi-year agreements are possible.  The revision also shows the City allocating 55 percent of TRT revenues to tourism promotion, which has been the case for a number of years, but wasn’t reflected in the ordinance.
