Item Explanation
At its Nov. 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 Section 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 must be used to promote golf-related tourism within the boundaries
of the CGLBID, as well as marketing-related capital improvements such as golf-related sign age,
golf-related equipment and to pay for the related administrative costs. Each assessed hotel
determines how to spend the funds collected by its 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 Advisory Board up to the amount
collected per property minus administrative fees.
At its April 17, 2013 meeting, the CGLBID Advisory Board approved a process for
reimbursement. Base d on this process, staff has reviewed reimbursement requests submitted
by Cassara, Park Hyatt Aviara, Sheraton Carlsbad Resort, Westin Resort Hotel, Carlsbad by the
Sea, Omni La Costa, Cape Rey Hilton, and Hilton Garden Inn and is recommending the advisory
board adopt the attached resolutions approving the reimbursement requests and authorizing
staff to process the payment for the expenses up to the amount collected minus the 4%
administration fees.
Fiscal Impact
As of Oct. 6, 2022, the CGLBID cash balance was $818,500. Each hotel's share of the cash
balance is outlined below, and each hotel may submit reimbursements quarterly to draw from
