PONDERAY — The City Council unanimously passed two ordinances to implement voter approved tax increases centered on tourism and improving the city’s infrastructure.

The council passed an ordinance to implement the city’s 1% local option tax, following its approval by voters earlier this month. In contrast to the city’s effort in 2024, this year’s ballot initiative reached 77% approval with 122 yes votes, clearing the needed 60% threshold.
