The new proposals were put on the table during staff-level meetings Monday that brought together team, state and city officials, sources said. They characterized the proposals as a way to shift much of the city's proposed Fenway financial burden to commuters and other travelers.

But one source suggested the new taxes could receive a chilly reception from Gov. Paul Cellucci, a Republican who likes to boast about his tax-cutting record, and from House Speaker Thomas Finneran.

"It doesn't look like Finneran or Cellucci would go for that," the source said regarding the new taxes. Aides to Mayor Thomas M. Menino would not say whether he would endorse the new taxes.

Sources said a $1-per-space parking surcharge was discussed but not agreed to in Monday's meetings. It would be imposed on all parking facilities, not just targeted at game-day commuters. Also, Menino aides suggested imposing a new room tax on innkeepers, in addition to recently imposed hotel taxes aimed at paying for the South Boston convention center.

Together, the new taxes would bring in an estimated $10 million a year, sources said, which would nearly cover the city's expected $110 million investment in the Fenway Park project.

"The city and each one of the state's representatives exchanged a number of ideas, none of which were accepted. It was a brainstorming session," said Menino's chief of staff, James Rooney.

Late yesterday, aides to Menino and Sox officials sought to arrange a summit meeting between state, city and team leaders that could occur as soon as today. Sources said the meeting is expected to produce a deal or seal the fate of the $627 million Fenway project for the year.

News of the new proposals came as an influential hotel industry group released a study that disputed the team's claims that a new ballpark would produce an economic boom for the Hub lodging industry.

Sox fans generate only "minimal" business for Boston hotels, accounting for only a fraction of 1 percent of all Hub room rentals, the Massachusetts Lodging Association said.

"The actual number of rooms generated from Fenway Park are minimal," said Arthur Canter, the hotel group's executive director.

The group made known its survey findings after Sox brass proposed paying for a new, 44,000-seat ballpark in part by hiking the room tax paid by the city's hotels.

With state lawmakers set to adjourn for the year on July 31, concern is mounting that time is running out. And some on Beacon Hill are starting to question Menino's commitment to getting a deal done.

Menino rejected that speculation andadded that he understands the state's priorities and hopes lawmakers will take up Fenway plans in the 10-day lull he expects to follow a budget vote.

"I understand their obligation to get the state budget done first. I understand that fully. When they get that done, I hope they will turn to the ballpark issue."

Sox executives faced more bad news with the report by the Massachusetts Lodging Association.

Ballpark opponents seized on the hotel group's report to decry the rosy economic projections put out by the Sox. "My instinct has always been, people don't come to town just to see a Red Sox game," said Carl Koechlin, head of the Fenway Community Development Corp.

"There is a pattern in the Red Sox public relations around the (new) ballpark for exaggerating the economic impact," he added.

But the hotel group has a more practical concern than debating the merits of a new Fenway Park.

Under financing plans put forth by the team, an unused portion of the city's hotel tax - currently reserved for the new Boston convention hall - would be hiked to raise $2 million for the ballpark.
