I. Oven -new
Developed by Salt Lake County lodging establishments in partnership with Visit Salt Lake, the Salt Lake County
Convention and Tourism Assessment Area ('SLCo CTAA') is an assessment area proposed to provide specific
benefits to payors, by funding districtwide development & programming, and community and sales
development with regional incentives programs for assessed lodging establishments.
Lnmkon: The proposed SLCo CTAA includes all lodging establishments with more than thirty-five (35)
rooms, existing and in the future, in the following municipalities in the West Region and South
Valley Region, (West Valley City, Taylorsville, West Jordan, Township of Kerns, Sandy, South
Jordan, Riverton, and Draper), as well as all lodging establishments within zip codes 84103,
84101 and 84111 within the City of Salt Lake, as shown on the map in Section Ill.
Semtree The SLCo CTAA is designed m provide specific benefits duectly to payors by increasing
awareness and demand for room night sales. Districtwide development & programming, and
community and sales development with regional incentives programs will increase demand for
overnight tourism and market payors as visitor, meeting, and event destinations, thereby
increasing demand for room night sales.
Budget The total SLCo CTAA annual budget for the fast year of its five (5) year operation is
anticipated to be $7,500,000. This budget is expected to fluctuate as hotel room occupancy
and average daily rates fluctuate over the SLCo CTAA's term.
Cork The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term guest room rental revenue
on stays of twenty-nine (29) days or less at lodging establishments within the SLCo CTAA.
Based on the benefits received, assessments will not be collected on stays of thirty (30) or
more consecutive days, or on stays for use for an essential government function; and paid
directly by a federal government agency or a foreign diplomat with U.S. issued tax exemption.
Utah State and Utah local government representatives most pay the assessment at the time of
purchase and request a refund from the Utah State Tax Commission or the Third -Party
Administrator. State and local government entities of other states are not exempt from the
assessment.
Colkokon: The Utah State Tax Commission or the County of Salt Lake will be responsible for collecting
the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from
each lodging establishment business assessed within the SLCo CTAA. The Utah State Tax
Commission or Salt Lake County shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments
from each lodging establishment. The County shall forward the assessments collected to the
third -patty administrator.
Duruliau: The SLCo CTAA will have a five (5) year life, beginning July 1, 2023, or as soon as possible
thereafter and end five (5) years from its start date. Once per year beginning on the anniversary
of SLCo CTAA formation there is a 30-day period in which lodging establishment owners
paying more than sixty percent (60%) of the assessment may protest and initiate a County
Commission hearing on the termination of the SLCo CTAA.
Management The SLCo CTAA shall be managed by a non-profit organization, primarily engaged in the
SLCo CTAA Management Plan
January 16, 2023
marketing and promotion of Salt Lake County, which shall enter into a contract with Salt Lake
County to ptoa7de the beneficial activities in accordance with this Management Plan. The
third -parry administrator shall establish a SLCo CTAA Committee ("Committee").
SLCo CTAA Management Plan

H. Background
CTTAs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The fast CTTA was formed in
West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, nearly 200 destinations throughout the United States have
followed suit In recent years, other states have begun adopting this model — Montana, South Dakota,
Washington, Colorado, Texas, Massachusetts, Virginia, Louisiana, and Utah have adopted CTTA laws. Several
other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas, Newark, New
Jersey, and Newport, Rhode Island used an existing business improvement district law to form a CTTA. And,
some cities, like Portland, Oregon, Memphis, Tennessee, and Tampa, Florida have utilized their home rule
powers to create CTTAs without a state law.

ao Nationwide

90102
t5013.6eo0aaaIIIIII-—_-
Nationwide, CTTAs collectively
raise over $440 million for local
destination marketing. With
competitors raising their budgets,
and increasing competition for
visitor dollars, it is important that
Salt Lake County lodging
establishments invest in stable,
lodging -specific marketing
programs.
CTTAs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of tourism districts.
CTTAs allow lodging establishment owners to organize their efforts to increase room night sales. Lodging
establishment owners within the CTTA pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that
increase room night sales.
In Utah, CTTAs are formed pursuant to the Convention and Tourism Assessment Area Act, Utah Code Title
11, Chapter 42b. This law allows for the creation of a benefit district to raise funds within a specific geographic
area. The key differenre betweex CTTAs and otber benefit dirtmetr u the funds raised will be managed by a non profit
organiinrox, firimanyengaged in the marketing and promotion of Salt Lake County wbub will entertain a manad wab Salt
Lake County to pmeide the benefimalamerties in aaardanre with tbu Management Plan.
There are many benefits to CTTAs:
• Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit to those who pay;
• Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs;
• They are customized to fit the needs of payers in each destination;
• They allow for a wide range of services;
• They are designed, mated anrlgoxerned by those who willpay the business improvement assessment; and
• They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion.

IV. Services
Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits to the payers. The services provided with the SLCo
CTAA funds include districtwide development & programming, and community and sales development with
regional incentives programs for assessed lodging establishments.
A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed lodging
establishments. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed by lodging establishments in Salt Lake
County. The total assessment budget for the fast year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be
$7,500,000. The total assessment budget for the fust yen shall allocate fifty percent (50%) to districtwide
development & programming, thirty percent (30%) to community & sales development — regional incentives,
ten percent (10%) to contingency, reserves & major event impact fund, and ten percent (10%) for
administration.
Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions and assessment rate changes, the propotdonal
allocations of the budget shall remain the same. However, the SLCo TTA Committee shall have the authority
to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total budget
per yen. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for die initial yen of operation is below.
The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SLCo CTAA,
any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SLCo CTAA.
Each assessment budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the
districtwide development & programming budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and
implementing districtwide development & programming. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is
allocated to the administrative portion of the budget.
The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels
necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the thud -party administrator and the SLCo CTTA
Committee on an as -needed basis.
