BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The BID renewal process is governed by the California Streets and Highways Code. In accordance with the process prescribed therein, on October 13, 2025, the City Council approved the 2026 BID Annual Report and Budget (Attachment 2) and adopted a Resolution of Intent to conduct a public hearing on October 27, 2025, to consider continuation of the BID work program and levy of assessments for the BID for calendar year 2026. The BID Advisory Board proposes no increase in assessment rates or changes in boundaries for 2026.
The proposed 2026 BID Annual Work Program includes:
• Marketing and promotional activities.
• Decoration and beautification and,
• Supplemental maintenance of the BID area in accordance with the Law.
Annual assessments are collected by the City and disbursed to the CCAD, which manages the Work Plan, in accordance with the Management Agreement between the City and the CCAD. Assessment funds collected may only be spent on programs/ activities that benefit the BID.
Advisory Board
State law requires the City Council to appoint an Advisory Board to prepare and submit the Annual Work Plan and Budget. The City Council may appoint the persons recommended by the CCAD or choose other individuals for appointment to the Board.
The CCAD recommends the following persons be appointed to the 2026 BID Advisory Board:
• Josetta Sbeglia
• Janiece Heyward
• Alex Majurinen
• Jeff Morrical
• Noah Baylin
• Carlo Marcucci
The BID is managed by the Culver City Arts District Advisory Board in accordance with the Management Agreement between the City and the CCAD which expires on December 31, 2026.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to the levy of assessments. Expenses to the City due to the collection and distribution of BID assessments and staff time spent preparing and presenting the two required staff reports are offset by the City’s two percent (2%) administrative fee included in the 2026 Work Plan, Budget and the Management Agreement between the City and the CCAD.
ATTACHMENTS
