In Old Business, Chair Parks updated the Board concerning the 1% mail-in ballot measure.
Everything has been completed on this end and Park County will handle the public announcements and will send the District a bill for the election. Ballots will be mailed out on November 18th and must be received by the election’s office by December 8th. Chair Parks will be pursuing an announcement through the Livingston Enterprise.
Director Gerdes updated the Board regarding the District website. It has been successfully migrated over to a separate account and seems to be working well. There were a couple of days that it was down, but it is up and working at this point.
Admin Manager Bush updated the Board on collections for the 2020 season. One formal delinquent notice will go out in certified mail this week; one account has just paid for the entire season and one account is sending checks this week to bring their account up to date and paid in full.
In New Business, Secretary/Treasurer Stone updated the Board on another change with tax collections for VRBO/Homeaway platform used by most vacation rental owners. Owners nowhave options that include VRBO collecting resort tax for owners. Exactly how this will work remains to be seen, Secretary/Treasurer Stone will continue researching how this change came about; are they clear it is only for the 4 months and how might we get it changed, should the resort tax rate change to 4%.
In other New Business, Secretary/Treasurer Stone updated the Board on Lodging Rev/MuniRevs software being explored by Park County Commissioner Bill Berg to increase visitor safety in our county. The presented proposal still appears to be cost prohibitive unless CARES ACT funds from Park County could be used.
