RECOMMENDATION:
That the Culver City City Council (the “Council”) approve the Downtown Culver
City Business Improvement District (“BID”) Advisory Committee’s annual Work
Program and Budget for 2006 (the “Report”), and adopt a Resolution of Intention
to conduct a Public Hearing on December 12, 2005 for the continuation of the
Culver City Downtown BID.
BACKGROUND:
A BID provides a mechanism for businesses to levy assessments on themselves
for the promotion of business activities and public events; decoration of public
places; and the acquisition, construction, installation or maintenance of specific
improvements. The BID allows Downtown businesses to be more self reliant,
which reduces their dependency on the City of Culver City (the “City”) and Culver
City Redevelopment Agency (the “Agency”).
The BID Work Program is managed by the Downtown Business Association (the
“DBA”) in accordance with a Management Agreement between the DBA and the
City. The Management Agreement requires the DBA to maintain tax-exempt
status with the Internal Revenue Service, maintain one million dollars of General
Liability insurance, and submit quarterly reports and budget updates to the
Community Development Director describing progress toward completing their
39 City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
40
approved work program. The DBA’s Tax documents, insurance and quarterly
reports are attached for your information (Attachment Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7).
In accordance with the legal process for renewing a BID, the Council is first
required to review and approve the BID Advisory Committee’s Report during a
public hearing. The Report describes any proposed changes in the BID
boundaries, a description of activities to be undertaken (a work program), an
estimate of the cost to provide the activities (a budget), the assessment formula,
the amount of surplus/deficit to be carried over from the previous year, and the
amount of other expected BID contributions. The City Council may modify any
particular element contained in the report and approve it as modified.
At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the Council must adopt a Resolution of
Intention (Attachment No. 1) to conduct a Public Hearing if the BID is to be
continued for 2006. Upon completion of the Public Hearing, which has been
tentatively scheduled for December 12, 2005, the Council must approve a final
resolution to formally continue the BID. The public will be notified of the public
hearing in accordance with State law.
The BID was formed in September 1998, when the Council adopted Ordinance
No. 98-011, in accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area
Law of 1989 (the “Law”).
The BID was amended in December 2000, when the Council rescinded
Ordinance No. 98-011 and adopted Ordinance No. 2000-027. The new
ordinance revised the BID assessment formula to increase the amount of the
assessment and revised the BID Management Agreement to clarify ambiguous
language in an attempt to streamline the administrative process.
DISCUSSION:
The following section describes BID accomplishments and delinquencies in
2005, and proposed BID activities and the BID assessment in 2006.
BID Accomplishments in 2005
In 2005, the DBA used their assessments to fund the following:

FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The BID’s quarterly financial statements for 2005 are attached for your
information (Attachment No. 6). These financial statements describe activities
undertaken and funds expended during their fiscal year.
As previously stated, funds from the 2006 BID assessment will be used for
business enhancement, design and design activity and other items in accordance
with the Law. During 2006, the BID anticipates assessment revenues of $65,000
and carry-over funds in the amount of $22,000. Previously the Agency provided
the DBA with annual financial assistance in the amount of $20,000 (to subsidize
the salary of the Executive Director). However, the agreement between the
Agency and DBA for this expenditure was for three years and expired this past
October. The DBA will now be funding this expense.
There is no fiscal impact to the City for the approval of the BID Annual Work
Program.
