Review of 2027 Lodging Tax Funding Allocations

ATTACHMENTS:

Draft LTAC Minutes from September 18, 2026 Retreat

Overview
As authorized under state law, the City of Lakewood has enacted a lodging tax. The City receives a 7%
share of the taxes collected by Washington State from lodging-related businesses located within the
City.
Of this amount, 4% may be used for tourism promotion or the acquisition, operation, or maintenance
of tourism-related facilities. The remaining 3% is restricted to the acquisition, construction,
expansion, marketing, management, or financing of convention facilities and major tourism
destination attractions serving at least one million visitors per year. The entire 7% may be used for
capital purposes.
This memorandum summarizes the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) process, estimated
funding available, eligible uses, grant requests, and LTAC’s funding recommendations for 2027.
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
State law requires cities collecting lodging tax to establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC).
The LTAC must have at least five members appointed by the City Council:
• One elected official from the City, who serves as Chair; and
• Two members representing businesses required to collect the tax; and
• Two members representing entities eligible to receive lodging tax funding.
There is no maximum membership, provided the number of representatives from each category
remains equal. Current members are:

12

Chair
Mayor Jason Whalen

Represent Businesses
Authorized to Collect the Tax
Jarnail Singh
Comfort Inn & Suites
Alana Ball
Best Western Lakewood

Represent Entities
Authorized to Receive Funding
Dean Burke
Travel Tacoma-Mt Rainier Tourism &
Sport
Linda Smith
Lakewood Chamber of Commerce

One of LTAC’s primary responsibilities is to review applications for lodging tax funds. LTAC evaluates
requests through a public process and submits funding recommendations to the City Council. The
Council may approve or reject any recommendation but cannot add new recipients or modify award
amounts without returning the proposals to LTAC for further review.
2026 Estimated Funds Available for 2027 Grant Awards

Grant Requests
On July 27, 2026, the City solicited proposals for 2027 lodging tax funding. A total of 19 proposals
were received, requesting $3,429,9 in combined funding.
2026 Grant Award Recommendations
LTAC members received all completed applications on August 17, 2026, and held a public meeting on
September 7, 2026, to hear presentations from applicants. The committee evaluated each proposal
using the following criteria:
•
•
•
•
•

Funds available
Past performance
Ability to attract tourism, particularly from outside the 50-mile radius
Strength of the applications
City of Lakewood’s desire to retain dollars for future capital project(s)

Next Step
On November 16, 2026, the City Council will be requested to authorize the City Manager to enter
into service contracts for the provision of tourism services in 2027.

The City Council is not required to fund the full list of recommended recipients and may
choose to make awards to some or even none of the recommended recipients, but the City
Council may not award funds to any recipient that was not recommended by LTAC.
2. Return the recommendations to the LTAC for further consideration. under this alternative, the
City Council would need to provide direction as to what it desires from the committee; or

1) Extra Duty Contracts
The proposed change adds $8 per hour to recoup the costs associated with WCIA (Washington Cities
Insurance Authority). The City’s liability assessment is a function of worker hours and losses. Based
on 2025 worker hours used for 2027’s liability assessment, the rate is $8 per worker hour. Rates are
negotiated between the Lakewood Police Independent Guild and contractor. Officers are paid via the
City’s payroll and contractors are billed monthly through accounts receivable. Current fees include the
officer hourly rate + $2.00 admin fee per hour for sergeant oversight + $10.00 processing fee per
invoice.
Currently, as of September 30th, there are 16 agreements in place. The majority of the contracts will
expire at 12/31/2026 with exception of Clover Park School District (expires 6/30/2027) and Pierce
Transit (expires 12/31/2027).
Based 2025 extra duty hours of 13,293 the potential recovery is $106K annually.

2) Credit and Debit Card Service Fee
The proposed change implements a 2.9% processing fee on eligible credit and debit card transactions
to help offset the costs associated with accepting electronic payments. The proposed fee would
recover a portion of the transaction processing expenses currently incurred by the City and reduce the
financial burden on the City's operating budget.
The City accepts credit and debit card payments for a variety of services, including permits,
assessments, inspection fees, boat launch fees, recreation programs and other services such as
public records requests, and GIS/map requests. Providing these payment options promotes
accessibility, efficiency, and convenience for the public; however, it also results in payment
processing fees and related transaction costs to the City.
Implementing a processing fee on eligible transactions would help offset these expenses while
allowing the City to continue offering convenient electronic payment options. The fee's applicability,
implementation, and communication to customers would be established in accordance with
applicable laws, payment processor requirements, and City policies.
The potential cost recovery is $50,000 to $100,000 annually.
3) Development Fees
The proposed changes update the City's fee schedule across business licensing, rental housing, public
works, building permits, fire permits, land use, environmental review, and tree removal. The primary
objectives are to improve cost recovery, establish fees for services that are currently provided without
charge, update outdated hourly rates, clarify existing requirements, and eliminate redundant or
outdated fee provisions. This section is not exclusively Planning and Development fees. It also includes
business licensing, rental housing, Multi-Family Tax Exemption (MFTE), building, and other regulatory
fees.
4) Parks Fees
The proposed changes generally increase fees for facility rentals, special events, vendor permits, field
use, and staffing to reflect rising operational costs, personnel expenses, administrative work, and
market rates. Several new fees are also being added, and some existing discounts or fee structures are
being eliminated.
5) McGavick Center
The proposed change implements the rate City Council established in 2026, from $1,500 to $2,000, to
be effective for rentals beginning January 1,2026.

The fee is calculated using Lakewood’s
adopted $120 hourly rate, maintaining
consistency with the existing fee
schedule while remaining generally
comparable to neighboring jurisdictions.

2027 Permit Fee Update
Fee changes, cost recovery & how Lakewood compares

City Council Study Session | November 9, 2026
Jeff Rimack, Director
Planning & Public Works

64

APPROACH

Three goals shaped the 2027 draft

Precision

Fairness

Clarity

Fees base on actual staff time at
the adopted $120/hour rate.

Charge for work staff already do
today but that has no fee in current
schedule.

Remove fees that are obsolete or
double-counted and fix confusing
labels and references.

Example: pre-app conference rise
reflects average 8 hours of logged
review.

Example: legal lot determinations,
expired permit reactivation, historic
nominations, post-issuance revisions.

Example: drop the repealed MFTE
extension fee and the unused annual
oversize load permit.

Cost Recovery

Set by Resolution 2025-14; $3.72
above 2027 cost

Staff cost ÷ Permit hours = Cost per hour. Software is paid separately by the 4% technology fee. 2027 basis: 2026 costs plus 3.6% COLA.

Step 2: how a fee is built from the rate

Permit Fee = staff hours × $120
Plus the $90 base fee and 4% technology fee at payment.
Example: a pre-application conference takes about 8 staff hours.
8 hours × $120 = $960

Why 23,010 hours, not 41,000
A full-time position is paid for 2,080 hours a year. About 1,180 of those go to
permit work.
The rest is leave, training, administration and General Fund work, such as
public questions and code enforcement. Those hours are not charged to
applicants.

How to read these charts
Columns: Lakewood fee if the fee schedule moves with the hourly rate (today’s fee ×
new rate ÷ $120).
Blue dashed line: median of 8 peers.
Green dotted line: cost recovery, the fee at $136.70/hr, the rate that covers the
$2.68M 2027 permit staff cost (2026 plus 3.6% COLA) at the 2026 run rate. Software is
funded by the separate 4% technology fee.
Revenue: 2026 annualized volumes for each permit type, held flat.

Today’s gap to the peer median on these five permit types: ≈ $203K a year. Residential
remodel passes the median at $140, so it drops out of the remaining gap.
Whole program: projected 2026 revenue at each rate, including the 2027 draft fees, vs. the

Adopt the 2027 draft at $120. Monitor permit volume and recovery rate in Q1 and Q2 of 2027. If recovery
remains below 95%, staff returns to adjust permit fees in June 2026 when new Building Valuation
Tables are released by ICC.

82

OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL

|

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Why holding at $120 for 2027
The rate already covers the hour
$120 billed vs. $116.28 actual staff cost per hour
in 2027. The gap is unbilled time, about 15% of
staff hours, not the price.

Small business and vacant
storefronts
Tenant improvements fill empty space. Tenants
budget months ahead; a year’s notice protects
projects already priced.

2026 data is still settling
First year with the technology fee treated as
dedicated and pass-throughs split out. Part of
the Q3 drop is accounting, not demand.

Fairness fixes first
The 2027 draft charges for work staff already do
and removes double charges. Let those
changes show their effect on their own.

Housing affordability
A 17–25% increase adds to every new unit, ADU
and remodel. A future increase can be paired
with relief for affordable housing.

Council keeps control
Quarterly cost recovery reports in 2027. Council
can move sooner if early 2027 results fall below
2026.

The tr igger

If 2027 cost recovery stays below 95%, staff brings $140 or $150 to Council for Q3 adjustment.

APPROACH

Three goals shaped the 2027 draft

Completeness

Fairness

Consistency

Recognize and resolving missing
categories of fees and charges

Ensure fees align with the adopted
Cost Recovery standard that
recovers fees for private use of
public resources

Build consistency across similar
categories of fees (ie youth sport
providers, vendors, etc.)

Example: sponsorship, program and
other fees are commonly charged in
the industry and weren’t detailed in
prior versions

Example: Cost Recovery requires
private gatherings and for-profit uses
to cover costs

Example: soccer and baseball
approaches were different applications
of community benefit pricing

COST RECOVERY

|

RATE METHODOLOGY

45% Cost Recovery Requirement
Legacy Plan Program Fees and Cost Recovery (5.7)

Not all programs cost recover. The more highly individual or exclusive a service is, and the more it can be found in the marketplace, the more likely it is that it will cost recover, up to
or beyond 100%. Facility rentals for these types of use return resources to cover costs of the high community benefit programs and services, like free public access to parks and
special events.

Subject: Review of Credit and Debit Card Fee Resolution
BACKGROUND
The City of Lakewood accepts payments for a variety of services and charges, including permits,
assessments, inspection fees, recreation programs, and other municipal services. To promote
accessibility, efficiency, and convenience for the public, the City offers multiple payment methods,
including credit and debit card transactions.
While electronic payment options provide convenience to customers, credit and debit card
transactions result in processing fees and related transaction expenses to the City. These costs are
currently borne by the City.
The proposed resolution would authorize the City to implement a 2.90% service fee on eligible credit
and debit card transactions to recover associated payment processing costs to the extent permitted
by applicable law and payment processing requirements.

THROUGH: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM:

Victor Lam, Information Technology Manager

DATE:

November 9, 2026

SUBJECT:

Review of Council Chambers Audio/Video Upgrades

The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend the City contract with One Diversified,
LLC for the City Hall Council Chambers audio/video upgrades. The proposal will modernize
the Council Chambers technology infrastructure to improve the quality, reliability, and
accessibility of public meetings. The existing audio and video systems have reached the
end of their useful life and require increasing maintenance.
During 2026, the City experienced multiple audio/video equipment failures in the Council
Chambers, including issues with microphones, speakers, displays, and audio processing
equipment. Although vendors were able to temporarily resolve these issues, they advised
that the system has reached the end of its recommended lifecycle and that equipment
failures are expected to become more frequent over time.
The project includes replacing faulty and aging audio equipment, installing new highdefinition cameras, upgraded control equipment, and integration of these components
into a modern, reliable system designed to support both in-person and hybrid meetings.
The goal is to reduce the risk of system interruptions caused by equipment failure and to
improve the audio experience by addressing distortion and sound‑imbalance issues.
In addition to the equipment upgrades, the proposal includes a five-year support
agreement to ensure the continued performance and reliability of the system. The support
agreement provides ongoing preventive maintenance, software and firmware updates,
technical support, and labor for repair or replacement of covered components (parts
covered under manufacturer warranty), reducing the risk of service disruptions during
public meetings and extending the operational life of the City's investment.
Four vendors were evaluated against the actual needs and three approaches were
considered:
• Performing only minimal repairs to the existing system
• Continuing to support the aging system
• Replacing the system with a right-sized modernization

failure of the City to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, or to exercise any option conferred by this
Agreement in one or more instances shall not be construed to be a waiver or
relinquishment of those covenants, agreements or options, and the same shall be and
remain in full force and effect. Failure or delay of the City to declare any breach or default
immediately upon occurrence shall not waive such breach or default. Failure of the City to
declare one breach or default does not act as a waiver of the City's right to declare another

Washington and waives an objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum. If either
Party brings any claim or lawsuit arising from this Agreement, each party shall pay all its
legal costs and attorney's fees and expenses incurred in defending or bringing such
claim or lawsuit, including all appeals, in addition to any other recovery or award provided by
law; provided, however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the Parties’
rights to indemnification under Section 5 of this Agreement.
12.6 EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR
MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER
PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR SAVINGS, OR FOR ANY
INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
STATEMENT OF WORK HEREUNDER. FURTHER, EXCEPT FOR DIVERSIFIED’S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL
DIVERSIFIED’S AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER ANY STATEMENT WORK HERETO,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AVERAGE AMOUNT ACTUALLY
PAID UNDER THE APPLICABLE AGREEMRNT OVER A TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD. CITY
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FEES PAID BY IT REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH

SCOPE OF SERVICES
INTEGRATION PROCESS
Diversified follows a comprehensive procedure to ensure accurate and timely delivery of integrated
technology systems. The procedure, which is divided into nine distinct phases, places a strong
emphasis on verification and preparation as these tasks are essential to ensuring a successful
outcome.

Procedural Phase Descriptions:
1. Design Review - The submittal and/or review process of reviewing the project scope and
verifying that the components and systems to be installed, and the methods/details of
installation, are consistent with the design intent and systems specifications.
2. Staging/Site-Preparation - Staging and site-preparation are two distinct processes, but
they occur at the same time. Staging is the process of completing in-house tasks to connect,
configure, update, program, and test as many system capabilities/components as appropriate
to discover early issues and minimize on-site time. Site-preparation is the process of
performing site surveys, attending construction meetings, and completing preliminary roughin work. Both processes are crucial to delivering quality systems on time and ready for use.
May include initial software upload/configuration efforts as appropriate.
3. Installation - The main installation effort which encompasses equipment delivery,
installation, cabling, and connectivity as well as installed cabling testing.
4. Device Configuration - The process of adjusting initial device settings required for proper
operation of each component. Typically includes level settings, operational modes,
addressing, EDID settings, etc. May include initial software file upload/config as needed.
5. Self-verification Testing - The process of testing each analysis system/tool to ensure it
can accurately measure the intended system parameter.
6. Systems Pre-verification Testing - The process of verifying, prior to optimization, that the
components have been installed properly, devices are operating properly, and the
environmental conditions are appropriate for the installed systems and components.
7. Optimization and Software - The process of loading software files and performing device
configuration, calibration, alignment, and adjustments to optimize the performance of the
system and components for the stated design objectives.
8. Systems Post-verification Testing - The process of verifying, following optimization,
the performance of the systems against the stated design objectives.
9. Training and Acceptance - The final project stage, involving closeout document delivery,
on-site training, and owner acceptance of the provided systems and services.

LIMITED WARRANTY OFFER (90 DAYS)
In addition to any other rights you may have, Diversified shall extend a 90 day limited defective equipment and workmanship warranty
from the date of substantial or practical completion of the system installation or beneficial use of the system by the client whichever
is first occurring, unless such period has been superseded by the purchase of a Diversified Service Agreement Package. Details
describing our Service Agreement options are outlined in a separate document. Diversified’s limited warranty shall cover defective
equipment and defects in workmanship for installation work relating to but not limited to cabling, connectors, structural elements,
mountings, equipment rack wiring and internal adjustments. Under the limited warranty, labor services will be provided at no charge.
Defects in third party manufacturer equipment and/or installation or other services provided by the manufacturer are covered under
the manufacturer’s warranty and will be managed by Diversified during the limited warranty period. Product serial numbers must not
be removed.
Diversified’s limited warranty excludes coverage due to equipment or system abuse, neglect, alteration, lamps and bulbs, misuse
including but not limited to: operating outside of environmental, user error, electrical, temperature or humidity specifications, system
alterations neither approved nor performed by Diversified or repair by a service facility other than those authorized by the
manufacturer. If within the limited warranty period, we are contacted with a support request that falls under this limited warranty
exclusion, time, travel and equipment for this and any subsequent visit required will be billed at our current labor Time & Material
rates.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DIVERSIFED SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM A BREACH OF WARRANTY, SPECIFICALLY, DIVERSIFIED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
COSTS SUCH AS LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS DAMAGE OR OTHERWISE. SOME LOCAL JURISDICTIONS,
STATES OR COUNTRIES MAY NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION ON SUCH DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY.

WARRANTY SERVICE PROCESS
All new equipment provided by Diversified includes each manufacturer’s full warranty from the date of client invoice. Diversified shall
address all manufacturer warranty requirements as "Depot" (Return-to-Base / RTB) service only. Under Depot service, client ships
equipment to an authorized factory warranty repair center. Diversified will act as liaison between client and manufacturer and assist
with Return Materials Authorization (RMA) logistics support. Labor relating to defective equipment is covered for 365 days under this
limited warranty and can be extended through the execution of a service level agreement. All other time, travel and equipment for
this and any subsequent visit required will be billed at our current labor Time & Material rates.
Diversified shall respond to warranty support requests (via phone, email or on-site) during the normal working hours of 8AM - 5PM
local (client site) time Monday - Friday, except recognized holidays. Service required outside of normal working hours shall be billed
at current labor Time & Material rates for overtime work. Diversified will make every effort to address such issues within 72 hours
after notification.
Upon arrival for warranty support, Diversified will expect access to the system and equipment. To avoid additional charges, please
contact us 24 hours in advance if delays in access are to be expected. If our Technician arrives to a scheduled appointment and cannot
gain access to the system or equipment to affect a proper diagnosis or repair, we will bill the service call for time, travel and equipment
for this and any subsequent visit required at our current Time & Material rates.
If it is required that equipment be removed for repair, we will make every attempt to minimize the impact on the system operation
while the unit is being repaired. However, it is not possible to guarantee any level of system operation. Loaner equipment is not
included in our limited warranty or service agreements.
