Whenever an amount of more than ten cents is required to be paid to gain admission to any resort or picnic grounds, the whole amount so paid is subject to a tax of one cent for each twenty cents or fraction thereof, even though such amount includes a charge for use of equipment and facilities such as tables, stoves, and bath houses. If a lesser amount is charged to persons who do not use such equipment and facilities than those who do use such equipment and facilities, the lesser charge is deemed the admission charge. Where a separate charge is made for the use of equipment and facilities, such charge is not subject to the tax herein levied unless it constitutes or is part of an “admission charge” or is a “place,” as defined in Section 3.20.010. Whenever an organization or club acquires the sole right to use a resort or picnic grounds, solely for the enjoyment of its members or employees and their friends, the amount paid for such right is an amount paid for an admission charge and subject to the tax herein levied; provided, that if the organization or club in turn charges its members or employees all or part of the amount so paid, such charge does not constitute an admission charge subject to the tax herein levied. Amounts paid for the privilege of parking cars in a resort or picnic grounds do not constitute an admission charge unless the amount of such charge is determined by the number of passengers in the automobile or the same charge is made to all persons who enter the resort or grounds, whether on foot or by other means of transportation. If a charge is made for each passenger in an automobile, in addition to a charge for parking facilities, the amount paid for the passengers is an admission charge and subject to the tax herein levied. The tax herein levied shall be paid by the person paying the admission charge and shall be collected and remitted by the person to whom the same is paid in the manner provided in Section 3.20.140. (Prior code § 4.50.110.)
