It will cost visitors a little more to stay in area hotels and other accommodations (less than 180 days); the city council voted unanimously to increase the city's lodging tax from 4 to 6 percent inside city limits and from 2 to 4 percent outside in the police jurisdiction (Grand Hotel).

Mayor Wilson had wanted it raised to 8 percent.

Over $703K was collected last year from the lodging tax, which goes into the city's general fund.
