The Dalles City Council directed municipal staff to move ahead with a plan to revise its Transient Lodging Tax ordinance, but potential impacts to the Northern Wasco Parks and Recreation District dominated the conversation.  Currently, the district receives a percentage of TLT revenues that are outlined within the present ordinance.  But the staff proposal is to remove that from the ordinance, and instead make the disbursement through the municipal budget process.  That had parks district officials concerned about the stability of what they can expect on an annual basis, even though City officials said they had no intention of reducing their contribution.  Councilor Darcy Long felt some kind of long-term arrangement can be developed outside of the ordinance.  Councilor Dan Richardson said he wanted to see more options on how to ensure the funding for parks.  The proposed ordinance revisions will come back to the Council for a vote at a later date.
