RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council (1) approve the Culver City Arts District Business Improvement District (BID) Advisory Board’s Annual Work Plan and Budget for 2017 (Report); and (2) adopt a Resolution of Intent to conduct a public hearing on February 13, 2017, to consider the levy of the Culver City Arts District Business Improvement District Assessment for 2017 (Attachment No. 1).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On February 8, 2016, the City Council established the Culver City Arts District Business Improvement District (CCAD BID) through the adoption of Ordinance No. 2016-003 in accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 within the California Streets and Highways Code.
A BID provides a mechanism for businesses to levy assessments on themselves for, among other things, the maintenance and improvement of public areas and promotion of the business district. The BID Work Program is managed by the CCAD BID Advisory Board appointed by the City Council.
In accordance with the legal process for renewing a BID specified in the Streets and Highways Code, the City Council is required to review and consider the BID Advisory Board’s proposed work plan during a public meeting and conduct a public hearing thereafter to consider the levy of the Culver City Arts District Business Improvement District Assessment for 2017. The public hearing is tentatively scheduled for February 13, 2017.
The 2017 BID Report has been filed with the City Clerk and contains a proposed Work Plan and Budget, which is included as Exhibit “B” to the proposed Resolution. The Work Plan includes activities related to:
• Maintenance and Beautification
• Marketing and Promotion
• Advocacy and Administration
A map illustrating BID boundaries is included as Exhibit “A” to the proposed Resolution. The CCAD BID Advisory Board recommends no change to BID boundaries or assessment rates for 2017.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to the adoption of the Resolution of Intention or setting the time and place for the public hearing.
