On August 22, Redmond City Council approved the formation of a Tourism and Lodging Advisory Committee, Ordinance No. 2023-05, to advise Council on issues pertaining to the strategic use of the statutorily required investment of City Transient Lodging Tax dollars in tourism and tourism-related activities. The committee will be comprised of seven voting members representing several categories, including two representatives from a lodging provider, a Central Business District representative (regardless of business type), a representative from the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center and three at-large members. Representatives should either live, own property or be employed at a business within City limits.
The City of Redmond is currently accepting applications to fill the seats on the new Tourism and Lodging Advisory Committee, as well as vacancies on other city committees and commissions.
