SUBJECT: Amend City/Agency Transient Occupancy Tax Allocation
Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: In 1988, the City and Redevelopment Agency provided for a 40/60%
split of the 10%Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in order to assist in the Agency's financing of .
certain obligations related to the hotels to be developed on the Waterfront site in the Main
Pier Redevelopment Sub-area. This allocation of TOT is proposed to be expanded to the
entire Main Pier Redevelopment Sub-area.
Funding Source: None at this time. A portion of future TOT from hotels to be developed in
the Main Pier Redevelopment Sub-area would flow to the Redevelopment Agency when and
if additional hotels are constructed.
Recommended Action:
Redevelopment Agency Action
Adopt Agency Ordinance No. , an Ordinance of the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Huntington Beach Amending Ordinance No. 1 and Levying a Tax on the Provilege of
occupying a room or rooms in a Hotel, Inn, Tourist Home or House, Motel, or Other Lodging

REQUEST FOR WU NCI L/REDEVELOPMENT t.%J'ENCY ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2002 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED 02-07
City Council Action (continued)
Adopt Ordinance No. 355 , an Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending
Ordinance No. 2974 to Provide a Credit for the Payment of Transient Occupancy Taxes to
the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency;
Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the subject Ordinances and direct staff on how to
proceed.
Analysis: In 1988, pursuant to California Tax and Revenue Code Sections 7280 and
1280.5, the City and Redevelopment Agency adopted ordinances that provided for an
allocation of a portion of the concurrently increased Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from the
City to the Agency. Under the provisions of these ordinances, the Redevelopment Agency
receives 6% of the 10% TOT from the hotels developed on the Waterfront site in the Main-
Pier Redevelopment Sub-area. The purpose of this allocation was to assist the
Redevelopment Agency in meeting its financial obligations that facilitated the hotel
development generating the TOT revenue.
A similar financing structure is contemplated for future hotel development in the Main-Pier
Redevelopment Sub-area, including the hotel proposed for the Strand project on Blocks 104
& 105. In anticipation of future hotel development in the City's beachfront resort district, it is
timely to update the existing ordinances. The proposed ordinances modify the area subject
to the allocation of TOT between the City and Redevelopment Agency to include the entire
Main-Pier Redevelopment Sub-area.
Environmental Status: Not Applicable.

penalties should not be so fixed. After such hearing the City Treasurer shall determine the proper
tax to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the person and in the manner
prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such tax, interest and penalties. The

allowed unless the amount of the tax so collected has either been refunded to the transient or
credited to rent subsequently payable by the transient to the operator.

illegally collected or received by the city by filing a claim in the manner provided in subsection
(a) of this section,but only when the tax was paid by the transient directly to the City Treasurer,

DATE: July 1, 2002
SUBJECT: City of Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency Ordinance
No. 2 and City of Huntington Beach Ordinance No. 3559
July 1, 2002, Agenda Item G-la (Second Reading)
It has been brought to my attention that Ordinance No. 3559, which revises chapter 3.28,
and the accompanying Redevelopment Agency Ordinance No. 2, inadvertently referred to
October 24, 1998, as the date that Redevelopment Agency Ordinance No. 1 was adopted.
However, October 24, 1988 was the first-reading date, and November 7, 1988 was the
actual date that Ordinance No. 1 was adopted.
Therefore, please replace the pages referring to an incorrect date of adoption with the
pages attached to this memorandum. This mistake is minor, typographical and resulted
from clerical error. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused your record-
keeping process.

Subject: Agency Ord. No. 2 AND City Ord. No. 3559
Hi Leonie-
Per our brief conversation on the phone, the City Clerk's Office noticed that the adoption date of Agency Ord. No. 1
referred to in Agency Ord. No. 2 and City Ord. No. 3559 was inadvertently noted as being adopted on October 24, 1988,
when the actual adoption date was November 7, 1988 (October 24, 1988 was it's first reading date).
The reference to Agency Ord. No. 1 within Agency Ord. No. 2 is at the beginning of the 3rd paragraph on the first page.
The reference to Agency Ord. No. 1 within City Ord. No. 3559 is at the end of what could be considered the 2nd paragraph
on the first page.
In addition to the revised first pages of Agency Ord. No. 2 and City Ord. No. 3559, please submit to the City Clerk's Office
a memo verifying that the"switch" in dates are only considered typographical errors and that the ordinances themselves
don't have to go back to first reading. The two ordinances are scheduled for their second reading (adoption)this Monday,
July 1, 2002 as Agenda Item G-1 a.
Any questions please call me. Thank you.
