AGENDA BILL
Approve Reimbursement Requests CGLBID STAFF
Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business
GENERAL Improvement District (CGLBID)
COUNSEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
(¼L
Adopt Resolutions No. 2020-52G, 2020-53G, 2020-54G and 2020-55G approving the
reimbursement requests from Omni La Costa, Carlsbad by the Sea, Grand Pacific Resorts,
Sheraton Carlsbad, Westin Carlsbad and Park Hyatt Aviara of approved golf related expenses
and/or authorizing staff to process the payments.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At its November 27, 2012 meeting, the Carlsbad City Council adopted ordinance No.CS-194
forming the Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District (CGLBID). Hotels (as that term
is defined in Carlsbad Municipal Code § 3.12.020(1 )) that choose to opt in and be a part of this
district are assessed $2 per occupied room night which is remitted to the city monthly through the
current Transient Occupancy Tax collection process. The proceeds of the additional hotel
business assessment shall be used to promote golf-related tourism within the boundaries of the
CGLBID, as well as marketing related capital improvements such as golf-related signage, golf
related equipment and to pay for the related administrative costs. Each assessed hotel would
determine how to spend the funds collected by their respective property provided the expenditures
are for an approved golf related expense. Reimbursement of these expenses would be made
quarterly upon approval by the CGLBID Board up to the amount collected per property minus
administrative fees.
At its April 17, 2013 meeting, the CGLBID Board approved a process for reimbursement. Based
on this process, staff has reviewed reimbursement requests submitted by Omni La Costa, Carlsbad
by the Sea, Grand Pacific Resorts, Sheraton Carlsbad, Westin Carlsbad and Park Hyatt Aviara and
is recommending the board approve the attached resolutions approving the reimbursement
requests and authorizing staff to process the payments for the expenses up to the amount collected
minus the 4% administration fees.
Attached at Exhibit A is a summary of CGLBID Assessments collections and a summary of
Requests for Reimbursement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As of December 31, 2019 CGLBID cash balance was $224,000. Reimbursement requests from
the Park Hyatt Aviara were $36,601 of which $36,601 is available and is being recommended for
payment. Reimbursement requests from Omni La Costa were $84, 172 of which $53,692 is
available and is being recommended for payment. Reimbursement requests from Carlsbad by the
Sea were $4,212 of which $4,212 is available and is being recommended for payment.
Reimbursement requests from Grand Pacific Resorts was $11,028 of which $8,597 is available and

requests from the Westin Carlsbad Resort were $27,594 of which $26,277 is available and is being
recommended for payment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

environment so it falls within the general rule under CEQA that this is not a project (CEQA
Regulation 15378 (b)).
