What does this measure do?
Measure F lets the City Council raise Mountain View's hotel tax, paid by hotel and short-term rental guests, from 10% to as much as 15%. Residents who do not stay in local hotels pay nothing more; the city could gain up to $5 million a year for general services.
Proposed by: Mountain View City Council
The city's elected seven-member council voted unanimously to ask voters for a higher hotel tax after polls showed a city bond lacked enough support.

A YES vote means
The council may raise the hotel and short-term rental tax up to 15%, bringing in up to about $5 million a year for city services, with yearly independent audits.
A NO vote means
The hotel and short-term rental tax stays at 10%, and the city does not get the extra money.
