The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) is responsible for:

• supporting options to enhance tourism activities in Redmond;
• making recommendations on special events matching grants to the City Council and later reviewing the success of those completed events;
• reviewing proposals from the marketing consultant; and
• proposing changes to the Tourism Promotion Program.

Members

• Three members must be hoteliers
• Three members must be representatives of arts, cultural, historic, or business entities that might benefit from a grant of the tax revenue

LTAC Membership Process
When there is an open position on the LTAC, the Tourism Program Administrator requests application(s) for LTAC membership. The Mayor interviews a selected candidate and makes a recommendation on the candidate's membership to the City Council. The City Council interviews the candidate prior to a regular Council meeting, and votes on the candidate's membership at a subsequent Council meeting. If approved, the candidate becomes an LTAC member.
