Process for Reimbursement
(see Chapter 3.38 of CMC for more information)
Hotels that have opted into the CGLBID will collect a $2 per room night CGLBID assessment. This
assessment may be combined with the CTBID assessment on the guest's bill, and notated as "BID
Assessments", but may not be combined with TOT or state assessments.
Hotel will remit monthly, CGLBID assessments along with TOT and CTBID assessments. City finance
department will revise form to include line for CGLBID assessment.
City will track CGLBID payments for each hotel. Amount collected minus 4% administrative charge
will be available to the hotels for reimbursement for allowable expenditures.
Hotel shall submit a quarterly accounting of expenses for CGLBID activities to BID manager.
Reimbursement requests submitted by the 10*^ of the month following the end of the quarter will
be processed for that quarter's reimbursement.
BID manager will review documentation and determine allowable amount of reimbursement.
Reimbursement will be limited to amount of assessment remitted to the city less the 4%
administrative fee. Reimbursement request will be included in the CGLBID Board meeting agenda
for approval by the CGLBID Board at the next CGLBID Board meeting. Approval must be made by a
quorum of the board which is at least two members. CGLBID Board's decision shall be final as to
whether an allowable expenditure is reimbursable.
Where a reimbursement was denied by the CGLBID Board, the Board, pursuant to CMC § 3.28.070,
may recommend to the CaHsbad City Council that the type or purpose of denied reimbursement be
permitted in the future as an allowable expenditure.
Once reimbursement is approved by the CGLBID Board, BID manager will process the payment to
hotel.
Any funds that have not been reimbursed by the end of the year will carry forward to the next year.
