Mayor Kindel pointed out that Trustee Seibert objected to the use of the
word "occupation" in all these tax Ordinances since they were not really a
tax on occupations and the term might be misleading to the general public.
i
Charles Lewis questioned the use of the phrase "wholly or partially" in this
Ordinance should merely read "within the Town of Vail". The Board decided to
table this Ordinance for further discussion.
4. An Ordinance concerning revenue and imposing a tax upon the
occupations and places of business providing overnight and short-term lodging
and rentals, including all lodges, hotels, motels, rooming houses and short
term rental agencies within the Town of Vail.
The proposed Ordinance was read by the Town Recorder and discussion followed.
Charles Lewis raised an objection to the phrase "actually received" and felt
that the taxpayers should be allowed the option of reporting on either a cash
or accrual basis. The Board of Trustees concurred with Mr. Lewis' request and
suggested that all the taxing Ordinances include provisions to this effect. In

addition Idr. Lewis felt that all the taxing ordinances should use similar
phraseology in the gross receipts definitions as much as possible; for example,
the Lodging Ordinance says fees, changes and payments, while the ski lift
Ordinance says "Payments or revenues", and the others all say something else.
The Board of Trustees agreed that the gross receipts definitions in all the
ordinances should have pore continuity and uniformity. The Ordinance was
tabled for further study and discussion.
