The City of Battle Ground is seeking applicants for two open Tourism Generator positions on its Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC), according to a Feb. 9 municipal announcement published through the city’s official communications channels. The openings, which must be filled by individuals who work for or operate an organization eligible to receive lodging‑tax funding, are part of the city’s routine process for maintaining the five‑member volunteer advisory body. The application deadline is Feb. 23, 2026, as stated in the city’s notice at FlashAlert News Release.

According to the city’s official information page at City of Battle Ground LTAC information, the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending how the city allocates revenue from its 4% lodging tax on hotel, motel, and bed‑and‑breakfast stays. Committee membership is guided by RCW 67.28.1817, requiring at least two representatives from businesses that collect lodging tax, at least two who represent organizations eligible to receive lodging‑tax grants, and one City Council representative.

As outlined in the Feb. 11 city update at City of Battle Ground News Flash, qualified applicants will be considered for appointment by the mayor, with City Council confirmation required. Individuals not selected may remain eligible for consideration for up to one year should additional vacancies arise. The city notes that LTAC‑funded programs operate on a reimbursement basis, requiring recipients to document expenditures before funds are disbursed.

Applicants can apply online or request application materials through the City Clerk’s Office. The application portal is available at cityofbg.org/LTAC.
