State impacts are also calculated from the sum of participant plus horse park <br />expenditures.This sum of $1,466,968 in Column 6,Line 7 is derived from Line 1;it has <br />been margined at 25%,because only 20%of participants are from out of state,and <br />therefore this is the source of impacts captured by the state.Those participants who <br />come from within the state would be assumed to be making those expenditures <br />elsewherein the state if the horse park did not exist.Accordingly,the state participant <br />spending is actually less than the local.To derive other state measures,State Horse <br />Park Expenditures of Line 8 are added to Line 7,summing to the $2,082,403 of State <br />Total Direct Expenditures.This,in turn is multiplied by the State multiplier of 2.48, <br />resulting in a total impact (including indirect and induced effects)of $5,164,360 shown <br />on Line 10. <br />Thus,it can be seen that the proposed park,even on a very conservativeestimate of <br />use,generates a significant impact on the County and the State economies.It should <br />be noted that these estimatesare based on horse shows only;they include no impacts <br />from use of the center by other events,which are expected to consistentlyaccount for <br />up to 25%of the days the facility is used.Any additional use by horse shows will also <br />markedlyincrease these totals.This analysis also only applies to operating <br />e×penditures -it ignores the very large initial construction expenditures. <br />Fiscal Impacts upon the Public Sector <br />Lines 11,12,13,and 14 of Table 8 show tax impacts,based upon the results of the <br />"most likely"scenario.Line 11 represents total sales tax collectedfrom participant <br />expenditures,calculated at a rate of 7.7%.Line 12 shows Cle Elum's local share of <br />the sales tax,$90,446 in Year 6.County share is $8,222.Finally,State share of sales <br />tax (6.5%)is shown in Line 14,$1,100,611 in Year 6,reflecting the sales tax collected <br />from out of state participants..Local share of the motel and hotel tax is based on <br />50%of participant spending going to lodging and the tax rebate to local government is <br />44
