The Wapakoneta City Council’s ad hoc committee that was created to explore the possibility of a lodging tax within the city met Wednesday afternoon.
A lodging tax, also known as a “bed tax” is added on the visitors’ hotel or motel bills. Council is considering a 3 percent bed tax to be collected to fund tourism-related projects within the city. Auglaize County already collects a 3 percent bed tax, with a portion going to the bi-county convention and visitors bureau and a portion distributed to local communities.
No timeline was given for development of that legislation, but the ad hoc committee noted the feasibility of having the tax in place by the end of the year.

It may still be hot and humid outside, but the Wapakoneta Daily News is asking its readers to think ahead to winter – and not just winter but the holiday season.
“We want to publish a special section of holiday memories,” explained Publisher Deb Zwez, “and we are inviting our readers to share their memories of Christmases and holiday seasons past. We intend to publish them all together in one commemorative book.”
Zwez said she’s heard so many positive comments about the memories shared in recent months from area residents that it inspired the idea to collect memories of a shared experience.
Stories and photographs should be submitted by Friday, Oct. 23, and can be emailed to publisher@wapakwdn.com (photos should be sent as .jpg images) or dropped off to the newspaper at 520 Industrial Drive. The newspaper will need a couple of days to scan any submitted photos, but all will be returned as soon as they’re processed.
