The Half Moon Bay City Council on April 21 adopted a resolution to continue the Hotel Business Improvement District assessment for fiscal year 2026-27, maintaining the rate at $2 per occupied room per night. City Manager Office staff presented the annual procedural report and reminded the council the step is required under California Streets and Highways Code.
The council opened the public hearing, heard no oral or written protests and closed the hearing. Irma Acosta of the City Manager Office told the council the assessment funds marketing and promotion activities that support local tourism. "Those overnight stays are significant and they're important for our local economy because they helped fund some city services," Acosta said.
Councilmember (mover) moved adoption of the resolution and the motion was seconded; the council voted by roll call and the motion carried unanimously. The assessment rate remains unchanged from the previous year.
The council took no additional public comment on the item; staff will implement the assessment as adopted and will continue to accept any written feedback in accordance with state protest procedures.
No follow-up action was required at the meeting other than inclusion of the assessment in FY 2026-27 revenues.
