Lodging Tax Board agenda tees up reserve transfer and new service contracts

The Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board (Lodging Tax Board) is lining up a May 14 vote to transfer funds from unallocated reserves into professional services, office supplies, and office space, a nuts and bolts move that affects how much flexibility the board keeps on hand mid-year. The item is listed as an action vote on the board’s Lodging Tax Board Meeting Agenda.

The consent agenda also stacks up routine but consequential approvals, including a web services agreement, a fiscal manager contract amendment, an IT contract with Teton Tech, and an annual Datafy advanced analytics and advertising contract. For operators who pay lodging taxes, this is where administrative overhead and marketing measurement tools get quietly locked in.

On the spending side, the agenda schedules multiple presentations tied to community partnership and “ambassador services” allocations, including an Outer Park Road Grand Teton National Park geology tour, a National Elk Refuge engagement specialist, a Teton Pass sustainability presentation, and several pathway and responsible recreation ambassador program pitches. The board also lists its treasurer’s report, a Destimetrics update, and committee reports (events, marketing, sustainability).
