The Salida City Council this week unanimously approved an ordinance that states the council’s opposition to Ballot Question 300, which aims to replace and reduce the annual fee and nightly tax for short-term rental owners.
Voters approved ballot questions 2A and 2B last November which raised the annual tax and nightly rates. When the measure passed it was projected to bring in $800,000 in revenue.
Question 300 proponents say the city’s regulations and taxes went too far.
Mayor Dan Shore said that a yes vote on Question 300 would mean a repeal of the tax, and that it would be taking out of the pockets or organizations such as Chaffee Housing Authority who are working towards building affordable housing.
