Agenda Item
Resolution - Planning:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract 14768, a service agreement with GovOS, Inc., formerly known as MUNIRevs, Inc. dba LODGINGRevs, for hotel occupancy tax collection and compliance services.
Item Summary
In 2019, the City Council adopted ordinances that established regulations regarding the operation of Short Term Rentals (STR) in the City of Lubbock and required STR operators to register STR units as well as collect and remit hotel occupancy taxes to the City.
In order to identify short term rentals operating in the City and to provide an online platform for the registration and remittance of hotel occupancy taxes, the City Council entered into a contract with MUNIRevs, Inc. DBA LODGINGRevs, now known as GovOS. The contract was for a three-year term initially. Staff recommends extending the contract for an additional 5 years.
Many hotel operators in the City of Lubbock also utilize the GovOS online platform to remit hotel occupancy taxes to the City.
Fiscal Impact
The contract extension has an annual cost of $16,830 in the first year and includes an escalator for each annual renewal.
