In plain language
Measure L would create a new hotel tax in the City of Lynwood. A YES vote sets a 12% tax on hotel and motel stays. Only guests would pay it. The money would help pay for 911 response, crime prevention, and addressing homelessness. It would also fund park safety and cleanliness, traffic safety, street repairs, and youth and senior programs. The money would stay under local control, with audits and public spending reports. A NO vote means this hotel tax would not be created.
Fiscal impact
A 12% tax on hotel and motel guests. It would raise about $751,315 each year. It lasts until voters end it.
