MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
RE: REORGANIZATION OF PARKING AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
AREA B ( "BID" )
As you know, the downtown Redlands Business Improvement
District ( "BID" ) and Town Center Corporation have been working
together to streamline the operations of both entities and
maximize the benefits each group receives from promotional
events held in the downtown area . As part of these meetings , it
was agreed by Town Center and the Board of Directors of the BID to
revise the charges which are levied upon businesses within the BID
and assess certain businesses which have not previously been
charged in the past. Further, to ensure that businesses within
the BID are charged in proportion to the benefit they receive from
promotional events held in the downtown area, it was proposed that
"zones of benefit" be established and that the charges assessed
be based upon the benefit derived by each business located within
those zones. After the schedule of charges and zones of benefit
were agreed upon, the Board of Directors of the BID and Town
Center then asked we outline the steps the City must take to levy
these new charges .
LAW OFFICES OF
BEST, BEST & KRIEGER
The BID was established under the Parking and Business
Improvement Area Law of 1965. (Streets and Highways Code Sections
3600 , et sec . ) Under that Law, the City is empowered to levy a
tax on all businesses within the BID to pay for promotional events
and parking improvements . However, since the date of the
establishment of the BID, the voters of the State have approved
Propositions 13 and 62 which generally prohibit the City from
increasing special taxes without obtaining the approval of
two-thirds of the voters within the City. Therefore, for the
present BID tax to be revised, it would be necessary to hold a
special election and obtain a two-thirds voter approval .
Soon after Proposition 13 was enacted, the State
Legislature enacted the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law
of 1979 . That Law provides that in addition to taxes , a city may
levy assessments within a parking and business improvement area
to pay for the same promotional events and physical improvements
which taxes could be levied for . As you may know, the imposition
or increase of an assessment is not subject to a two-thirds voter
approval of the citizens of Redlands . Accordingly, to avoid the
expense of holding a special election, it was our suggestion to
the BID and Town Center that they ask the City to disestablish
the BID under the 1965 Parking and Business Improvement Area Law
and reestablish the District under the 1979 Law. This would
enable the City to levy the revised charges as assessments without
conducting a special election.

e LAW OFFiCE:$ OF
BEST, BEST & KRIEGER
The attached resolution would call for a public hearing
on August 2 to consider disestablishing the existing Parking and
Business. Improvement Area B under the 1965 Law and simultaneously
reestablish it under the Parking and Business Improvement Area
Law of 1979 . In accordance with the .requirements of the Streets
and Highways Code, the resolution shows the proposed boundaries of
the "new" business improvement district and also contains a
schedule of the charges which will be levied. The resolution
further directs the City Clerk to send a copy of the resolution
to each business located within the boundaries of the BID and
publish it once in the Redlands Daily Facts ten days prior to the
hearing.
At the hearing on August 2 , the City Council should
receive any protests and evidence for and against the proposed
reorganization. Unless there is a protest made in writing by
businesses which will pay a majority of the assessments or charges
proposed to be imposed, the Council may close the hearing and
adopt an ordinance reorganizing the BID.
