NFP-2 N-001-3 N-001-2 CITY OF CARLSBAD Proposition F (This propoaWon will appear on the ballot In the following form.) PROPOSITION F Shall Ordinance No. NS-52 t>e adopted amending Chapter 3.12 of the Carisbad Municipal Code to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax Rate from 8% to 10%? ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION F THIS MEASURE WIU. NOT COST CARLSBAD RESIDENTS ANY MONEY WHAT IS THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCYTAX (TOT)? This Is a tax v^k^ visitors pay on the rent chai^ied by hotel operators. This is not a tax on exisfing residents, homeowners or business opertrtors. WHERE Wia THE ADDITIONAL 2% GO? Cun-ent TOT taxes go Into the City's General Fund to help support general government sen/ices. The additional 2% will allow the City additional monies within the General Fund to provide for those general government sendees. The TOT tax increase will allow for a feir and equitable tnethod to assess those visitors who place special demands on the general services of tlie City. HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE CAN 2% MAKE? A 2% increase wiU not significantly affect a visitor's hotel bll, or the demand for rooms within CatfelMd. A 2% increase on an assumed $100 room charge win only increase the room rate by $2. A survey indicates that Increased TOTs have generally not reduced occupancy rates, or revenues, for the hotel industry. A 2% Increase wiR, however,' raise substantial funds to assist the City in paying for those increased special demands placed on the community by visitors. Proposition F WiR help make Carlsbad financially strong and enable the City to provide those general servtoes necessary to msdntain a high quality of life, and v^ii not adveraely affect the tocal hotel economy.

PROPOSITION G Do voters of the City of Cartsbad approve spending City funds from various sources including the General Fund in an amount over one million dollars as determined necessary by the City Council to construct two public golf courses, one regulation and one short course, a multi- court tennis complex, two multi-purpose adult size fields, and an enclosed soccer facility? This measure authorizes but does not require such construction and may include the expenditure of funds for property acquisition. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION G THIS MEASURE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY NEW TAXES OR INCREASE ANY EXISTING TAXES. APPROVAL OF THIS MEASURE WOULD AUTHORIZE CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN RECREATIONAL FACILrriES WHEN TAX REVENUES BECOME AVAILABLE. The citizens' committee on recteaSon facWty financing recommends that the voters of Carisbad approve spending more than $1 mHtton of tax revenue for the constmction of golf couraes and other recreational facilities. The Carisbad City CouncH agrees with the citizens' committee that Carisbad needs a publte golf course, additionai tennis courts and soccer fiekls. This proposition would authorize, but not require the City Council to spend tax money to constmct these facilities. Although goif, tennis and soccer faciiities must compete with other c'rty programs for funding, a YES VOTE is required for the City to move ahead when the money is available. The proposed golf course and other recreational facilities wiS enrtoh Carisbad's quality of life. If Carisbad is to have a w^ balanced recreation program, now is the time to begin planning and saving money for such fadHties. The votera of Carisisad have an important say on what their city wIR be like in the future. A YES VOTE on this proposition wH provkle improved recreational opportunities for ali of us in the future.
