Preliminary Matters
Roll Call:

Land Acknowledgement Statement: The City of Berkeley recognizes that the community we live in was built on the territory of xučyun (Huchiun (Hooch-yoon)), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-chen-yo)-speaking Ohlone (Oh-low-nee) people, the ancestors and descendants of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to all of the Ohlone Tribes and descendants of the Verona Band. As we begin our meeting tonight, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of Berkeley, the documented 5,000 -year history of a vibrant community at the West Berkeley Shellmound, and the Ohlone people who continue to reside in the East Bay. We recognize that Berkeley’s residents have and continue to benefit from the use and occupation of this unceded stolen land since the City of Berkeley’s incorporation in 1878. As stewards of the laws regulating the City of Berkeley, it is not only vital that we recognize the history of this land, but also recognize that the Ohlone people are present members of Berkeley and other East Bay communities today. The City of Berkeley will continue to build relationships with the Lisjan Tribe and to create meaningful actions that uphold the intention of this land acknowledgement.

Ceremonial Matters: In addition to those items listed on the agenda, the Mayor may add additional ceremonial matters.

City Manager Comments: The City Manager may make announcements or provide information to the City Council in the form of an oral report. The Council will not take action on such items but may request the City Manager place a report on a future agenda for discussion.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 17, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Assessments: Downtown Berkeley Property Based Business Improvement District

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Downtown Berkeley Property Based Business Improvement District (DPBID) Annual Report of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and proposed budget for FY 2026 and declaring Council’s intention to levy an annual assessment for the DPBID for FY 2026.

SUMMARY
The Downtown Berkeley Property Based Business Improvement District (DPBID, “Downtown BID” or “the District”) provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Berkeley’s central business district. In May of 2016 the DPBID was geographically expanded and renewed for a ten-year period, authorizing operations through December 31, 2026, and designating the Downtown Berkeley Association (DBA) as the District’s Owners’ Association. Annually, Council must approve the DPBID’s annual report and proposed budget and declare its intention to levy an annual assessment.

The City of Berkeley owns parcels within the boundaries of the DPBID and is required by state law to pay the associated assessments. In FY26, the assessment payment will be $160,650, for 13 parcels; and $12,892 for a parcel owned by the City of Berkeley Joint Powers Authority at 2015 Addison Street. The total for fourteen parcels in FY26 is $173,543. In addition, the City will pay the General Benefit portion of the DPBID costs.

The engineer’s report commissioned for the reestablishment of the Downtown BID in 2016 calculated that the general benefit for the district is $19,392 annually. In 2011, the City increased parking meter rates (see Ordinance No. 7,183-N.S.) in the Downtown area to fund payment of the general benefit fees. This amount is billed directly to the City and paid through the Off-Street Parking Fund (627-54-622-665-3002-000-474- 639990).

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Assessments levied in the Downtown Berkeley Property Based Business Improvement District (DPBID) support a package of improvements and activities approved by the

Assessments: CONSENT CALENDAR
Downtown Berkeley Property Based Business Improvement District June 17, 2025

Page 2 ends

property owners and the City Council when the District was renewed for a ten-year period on May 31, 2016 (Resolution No. 67,520-N.S.). Assessment funds are collected by Alameda County, relayed to the City of Berkeley, and disbursed through a contract with the Downtown Berkeley Association (DBA), a private owners’ association that was established to implement the Management District Plan. In May of 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract and any amendments with the DBA, not to exceed $7,285,257 of DPBID revenues, to implement the Downtown Berkeley Management District Plan for the period July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026 (Contract No. 32200032).

In addition, the University of California’s calculated contribution to the DPBID is $219,467 (13 Parcels) for FY 2026. Overall the budget of the DPBID for FY 2026 (Exhibit A) is approximately $2,230,489 inclusive of taxable and non-taxable parcels and private donations, and net of the County 1.7% collection fee on private parcels. The DPBID Assessment Revenue amount articulated in Exhibit A – Annual Report ($2,041,382) is slightly different ($189,109) to account for uncollectable property tax and funds that will be carried forward from the prior year.

A correction is to be issued for Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) APN 057- -2026-012- 03 (Owner: FIRST SHATTUCK LLC, Site Address: 2052 CENTER ST) a parking lot located in the Premium Service Area for FY25. The calculation for the parking lot in the premium zone is slightly different due to the assessment method established by the PBID in 2016, and as a result, the parcel was regrettably overcharged in FY25. The owner paid the overcharge in FY25, and as a result a credit will be issued in FY26, which will lessen the tax obligation for the APN in FY 26. These corrections are reflected in Table 1 below; and will be issued with the FY26 property tax bills distributed by Alameda County and processed in the same manner as all other Downtown BID collections.

The assessment billing for private commercial property, including properties billed on the utility roll, less the county collection fee (approximately $29,254), is expected to be $1,691,588 in FY 2026. Annual and accrued assessment funds are deposited in the Downtown Property Based Business Improvement District (DPBID) Fund (786-21-208- 251-0000-000-000-412110) and expended from fund number 786-21-208-251-0000-

000-446-636110. These totals reflect a 3% assessment increase, as determined at the DBA Board of Directors meeting on April 23, 2025. Per the Management District Plan, an annual increase of 5% is allowable to cover inflation costs if approved by a majority of the Owners’ Association Board of Directors.

Under the provisions of Proposition 218 in the California Constitution, government agencies must pay assessments on properties they own in property-based business improvement districts, just like private property owners, unless they receive no benefit.

Payment is collected from private property owners through property tax bills near the end of the calendar year. Payments are due from non-property tax-paying entities concurrently. The City of Berkeley owns thirteen parcels within the DBPID boundaries; the City’s assessment payment in FY 2026 would be $160,650 and $12,892 for a parcel owned by the City of Berkeley Joint Powers Authority at 2015 Addison Street, which is increased slightly from the FY 2025 assessment amount. The total for fourteen parcels in FY26 is $173,543.

The City also pays the “general benefit” portion of the PBID budget, or roughly $19,392 for fiscal year 2026. “General benefits” represent that small portion of the overall benefits generated by a PBID which are found to accrue to the general public who are not assessed and do not participate in the economic or social activities of the district. In total, the City is responsible for a contribution of $192,935 to the DPBID in FY 2026.

This amount is billed directly to the City and paid through the Off-Street Parking Fund (627-54-622-665-3002-000-474-639990). On June 14, 2011, Council adopted Ordinance No. 7,183-N.S. increasing parking meter rates in the Downtown to fund payment of these fees.

By financing improvements, maintenance and welcoming activities for the City’s central business district, the DPBID indirectly enhances sales tax, business license tax and other business-related City revenue sources.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
State legislation that authorizes formation of property-based BIDs (California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 36600 et. seq.) requires that the BID governing body submit an Annual Report on operations and a budget proposal to the City Council each year. The City Council may approve the report with a Resolution to reauthorize the annual assessments.

The Board of Directors of the Downtown Berkeley Association met in a publicly noticed meeting on April 23, 2025 to review the Annual Report for the DPBID for FY 2025 and budget for FY 2026 (Exhibit A). The Board of Directors voted to recommend an increase of 3% in the assessment for FY26, and to approve the proposed budget for FY 2026 and the Annual Report for FY 2025. The Board recommended that the FY 2025 Annual Report and Proposed Budget for FY 2026 be approved by the City Council. There were no recommended changes to the DPBID boundaries nor changes to the assessment

formula as established during the district renewal in 2016. Council can adopt the recommended Resolution which will confirm the DPBID assessment, and thus enable continuous BID operations for another year. Any funds in the existing DPBID contract (Contract No. 32200032) as of June 30, 2025 are to be carried forward.

BACKGROUND
The DPBID is a benefit assessment district that provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Downtown Berkeley. The DPBID was created in 2011 pursuant to California’s “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994” to provide needed improvements and activities to assessed property owners. The DPBID was re- established and expanded by Resolution of the Berkeley City Council on May 31, 2016 (Resolution No. 67,520-N.S.) for the ten-year term beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2026, with operations to occur over the ten-year calendar year period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2026.

The DPBID finances services and improvements that maintain and improve the district’s streetscape and public areas, improve the pedestrian experience for workers, visitors and residents, and attract new businesses and development. Key services include hospitality and cleaning ambassador teams, beautification projects, business attraction and retention, marketing and events. The improvements and activities that the DPBID finances to enhance Downtown Berkeley’s environment for property owners, residents, workers and visitors include:

Environmental Enhancements:
 Maintenance teams sweep, scrub, and pressure wash sidewalks, remove litter and graffiti, and increase the frequency of trash removal and maintain landscaping throughout the District.
 Hospitality Ambassadors provide visitor information, safety escorts, merchant outreach, liaison activities with city services, event support, homeless services outreach and referrals, and coordinate work with local police, businesses and property owners to prevent crime and address quality of life issues.  Beautification and place-making improvements that make Downtown Berkeley more attractive, including enhanced landscaping, holiday décor, way-finding signage, trash receptacles, planters, urban design plans, bike racks, programming of BART Plaza and other public spaces.

Economic Enhancements:
 Promote and support local business through providing liaison services with City staff, and attracting new businesses and investment that further the strategic goals of the Downtown.
 Advance Downtown Berkeley’s evolution as a regional destination for arts, culture and entertainment.
 Marketing and communications to support DPBID activities and improvements

Page 5 ends

 Strategies to improve the parking and transit experience to support local businesses, residents, and arts/culture/civic destinations.  Leadership through research and community education to represent the Downtown community with one voice.

Due to high levels of pedestrian traffic in the core of the Downtown and the attendant need for higher levels of service there, the DPBID has three benefit zones as delineated in the 2016 District Management Plan. There is a two-tiered core service zone (known as “Premium” and “Standard”) and a third zone “South Shattuck Benefit Zone” which covers the 2016 expansion area along the southern portion of Shattuck Avenue.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
By maintaining and enhancing the DPBID, the DBA creates shopping opportunities for residents and visitors alike while encouraging alternative forms of transportation. The District encompasses the area surrounding the Downtown BART Station and several AC Transit lines that provide easy accessibility for visitors coming to and from this popular regional destination. Because the District is well served by public transportation and biking infrastructure, these services indirectly support environmental sustainability goals of encouraging alternative transportation choices.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the BID Board prepare an Annual Report for each fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied. Council action is required to approve the BID’s Annual Report and declare its intent to levy assessments. This private/public partnership will continue to provide significant resources for Downtown Core Commercial District, which has had a transformational effect on the physical and economic health of the City of Berkeley.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The DBA Board of Directors considered an increase in assessment rates, up to the allowable 5%, and as low as 0%, but instead decided on a 3% increase, determining that the increased rate would sufficiently cover the slate of services outlined in the FY2026 budget and work plan and better keep up with the pace of inflation.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 17, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Assessments: North Shattuck Property Based Business Improvement District

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the North Shattuck Property Based Business Improvement District (NSBID) Annual Report of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and proposed budget for FY 2026 and declaring Council’s intention to levy an annual assessment for the NSBID for FY 2026.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Assessments levied in the North Shattuck Business Improvement District (NSBID) support a package of improvements and activities approved by the property owners and the City Council when the District was renewed for a ten-year period on June 16, 2020 (Resolution No. 69,454–N.S.). Assessment funds are collected by Alameda County, relayed to the City of Berkeley, and disbursed through a contract with the North Shattuck Association (NSA), a private owners’ association that was established to implement the NSBID’s Management District Plan.

In June of 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract and any amendments with the North Shattuck Association, not to exceed $2,652,778 of BID revenues, to implement the North Shattuck Management District Plan for the period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2031 (Contract No. 32100055). The contract covers the years remaining in the current term of the NSBID establishment.

NSBID assessments are projected and budgeted at approximately $239,541 in FY 2026. Assessment funds are deposited into NSBID Fund 785-21-208-251-0000-000- 000-412110 and expended from fund 785-21-208-251-0000-000-446-636110. The NSBID’s adopted Management District plan allows for an annual 5% assessment increase for inflation, and the majority of the North Shattuck Association’s Board of Directors met on April 17, 2025 and determined a five percent (5%) increase was warranted in FY26. Project funds not spent in any given fiscal year are carried over into future years.

By financing improvements, maintenance and marketing activities for the North Shattuck business district, the NSBID indirectly enhances sales tax, business license

tax and other business-related City revenue sources. No City-owned properties have been or will be assessed in the NSBID.

The Board of Directors of the NSA met in a publicly noticed meeting on April 17, 2025 to review and approve the attached Annual Report for the NSBID for FY 2025 (Exhibit A).

The report includes a budget for improvements and activities for FY 2026 and an estimated cost for providing them. The report also recommends that the assessments for FY 2026 be levied on the same basis and method, and within the same boundaries, as they were levied for FY 2025 with the allowable annual 5% fee increase. See Exhibit B: North Shattuck BID FY26 Assessment Roll. Council can adopt the recommended resolution which will confirm the NSBID assessment, thus enabling continuous BID operations in the North Shattuck district for another year.

BACKGROUND
The NSBID was first established by Resolution of the Berkeley City Council in 2001 (Resolution No. 61,168-N.S.) to implement a Management District Plan that had been developed by a steering committee of merchants and property owners. In accordance with the Management District Plan adopted in Resolution No. 61,168-N.S., the NSBID had a lifetime of ten years, expiring in 2011. On May 3, 2011, Council approved Resolution No. 65,265-N.S. reestablishing the NSBID for 10 more years, ending in Fiscal Year 2021. Further, on June 16, 2020, Council approved Resolution No. 69,454– N.S. reestablishing the NSBID for an additional 10 years (starting in FY21). Thus, the NSBID is authorized through FY 2031 unless action is taken to dis-establish it.

The NSBID finances special improvement, maintenance and marketing activities that benefit commercial properties and businesses in the North Shattuck District.

NSBID activities are performed above and beyond baseline services provided by the City. The Management District Plan for the North Shattuck BID was adopted by Council in 2020 as part of the reestablishment of the District and provides a framework for the NSBID’s activities.

In FY 2026, the NSBID will continue its ongoing services including District maintenance, public improvements, holiday lighting, and marketing/promotional activities. The NSBID will continue to provide cleaning and outreach services in the public right of way. Events and activities promoting the District will continue throughout the year, including winter holiday promotions and other seasonal events.

Regular arts and events newsletters will be shared, and ongoing marketing efforts will continue via the North Shattuck Association (NSA) website and other social media. The NSBID will also continue to liaise and coordinate with other business

district organizations, Visit Berkeley, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Berkeley Business District Network (BBDN) to promote local business and economic development opportunities in Berkeley.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
By maintaining and enhancing the District, the NSA creates shopping opportunities for residents and visitors alike while encouraging alternative forms of transportation. The District is walking distance from the North Berkeley and Downtown Berkeley BART Stations. Several AC transit lines provide easy accessibility to visitors coming to this popular regional destination. Because the District is well served by public transportation and biking infrastructure, these services support environmental sustainability goals of encouraging alternative transportation choices.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the BID Board prepare an Annual Report for each fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied. Council action is required to approve the BID’s Annual Report and declare its intent to levy assessments. This private/public partnership generates significant resources for revitalization of the North Shattuck District has a positive effect on the physical and economic health of the City of Berkeley.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Board of the NSBID considered opting for less than the allowable 5% increase in assessment rates but instead decided to increase the assessment rate to the full allowable 5%, to keep up with the pace of inflation.

ANNUAL REPORT TO

THE CITY OF BERKELEY
FISCAL YEAR 2025

INTRODUCTION

The North Shattuck Business Improvement District (NSBID) was reestablished for a new 10-year period by the Berkeley City Council on June 16, 2020 (Resolution No. 69,454-N.S.) under provisions of the State of California Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. The NSBID was formed in 2001, renewed in 2011 and again in 2020 to implement a Management District Plan developed and revised in 2020 to address the specific needs of the District and which sets forth the projected activities of the NSBID and the allocation of BID assessment revenues to each activity.The renewed North Shattuck BID consists of 54 parcels (owned by 52 property owners) along Shattuck between Rose and Delaware Streets, and one block of Vine St east of Shattuck Ave. The assessments fund special benefits within the District, enhancing the North Shattuck area’s streetscape environment with infrastructure improvements, ongoing maintenance, and special events to new customers and visitors, increase business sales, and attract and retain businesses.

The NSBID is managed by the non-profit North Shattuck Association (NSA), whose Board of district business and property owners and Executive Director coordinate implementation of the Management Plan. The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the owners’ association that is responsible for administering a BID prepare an annual report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied. The annual report also includes a proposed budget for the following Fiscal Year (FY).

This report reviews Fiscal Year 2025 operations, and states goals and objectives for Fiscal Year 2026 of the NSBID, which begins July 1, 2025 and ends June 30, 2026.

This report includes the improvements and activities for the year, an estimate of the cost of the improvements and activities, the amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from the previous fiscal year and the amount of any contributions from other sources are named in the annual report and budget. There are no

11 FY 2026 Budget
The North Shattuck Association approved a 5% increase to assessments for BID collections for Fiscal Year 2026. Assessments are projected to be $243,683, including the 5% annual increase in assessments from Fiscal Year 2026. For budget purposes the 1.7% County fee for 2026 ($4,142.63) is deducted from the assessment amount for a new projected 2026 assessment of $239,541. Services and expenditures will be made in accordance with the Management District Plan categories as follows:

Total Estimated Budget 100% $0 $239,531

The above budget is based upon the maximum amount of BID assessment revenues that could be collected in the District. Actual BID revenues may be lower if some assessments are not paid within the Fiscal Year. Carry Over from 2025 will be applied to the new banner program and to building back a CPA-recommended two-month operating fund as a contingency, especially as the timeline for fund disbursements from the City of Berkeley remains inconsistent. No changes to the boundaries of the district and the method and basis for levying the BID assessments were taken this year.

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 17, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Eleanor Hollander, Economic Development Manager Subject: Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID) Annual Report of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and proposed FY26 budget and declaring Council’s intention to levy an annual assessment for the TBID for FY 2026.

SUMMARY
The Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID or “the District”) provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue commercial district. In May of 2017 the TBID was geographically expanded and renewed for a ten-year period, authorizing operations through December 31, 2027, and designating the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC) as the District’s Owners’ Association. Annually, Council must approve the TBID’s annual report and proposed budget and declare its intention to levy an annual assessment.

The City of Berkeley owns one parcel (the Telegraph Channing Parking Garage at 2431 Channing Way) within the boundaries of the TBID and is required by state law to pay the associated assessments. The assessment payment will be $53,656.28 in FY 2025; in addition, the City will pay the General Benefit portion of the TBID costs, or roughly $29,816. The City already makes an annual grant to TBID, through the Public Commons for Everyone Initiative (PCEI), which exceeds this general benefit amount, so there will be no new fiscal impacts related to funding the general benefit.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Assessments levied in the Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District (TBID or “the District”) support a package of improvements and activities approved by the property owners and the City Council when the District was renewed for a ten-year period on May 2, 2017 (Resolution No. 67,940-N.S.). Assessment funds are collected by the Alameda County Assessor’s Office, relayed to the City of Berkeley, and disbursed through a contract with the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC), a private owners’ association that was established to implement the Management District Plan. TPBMC has an active contract with the City, not to

Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District CONSENT CALENDAR June 17, 2025

Page 2 ends

exceed $7,410,024 of TBID revenues, to implement the Telegraph Management District Plan for the period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2027 (Contract No. 10835).

Collections from private parcel assessments (less the county’s collection fee of 1.7%) are projected and budgeted at approximately $648,083 in FY 2026. Collections from tax exempt parcels (owned by the Regents of the University of California and the City of Berkeley) are projected and budgeted at approximately $193,368 in FY 2026. Annual and accrued private parcel assessment funds are deposited into Telegraph BID Fund 784-33-324-342-0000-000-000-412110 and expended from fund 784-21-208-251-0000- 000-446-612990. An annual increase of up to 3% to account for inflation is allowed by the Management District Plan and must be approved by a majority of the TPBMC’s Board of Directors. On April 8, 2025 the TPBMC board met and voted to raise assessments by 3% from the FY25 level due to a variety of factors including compensating for the modest increase in previous years. Project funds not spent in any given fiscal year are carried over into future years. TPBMC collects assessments directly from the University of California with no involvement from the City.

Under the provisions of Proposition 218 in the California Constitution, government agencies must pay assessments on properties they own in property-based BIDs, just like private property owners, unless they receive no benefit. Payment is collected from private property owners through property tax bills. Payments are due from non-property tax-paying entities concurrently. The City’s assessment payment in FY 2026 would be $53,656 (increased by $1,563) from the FY2025 assessment of $52,093). The City’s assessment is paid annually directly to the TPBMC through the Off-Street Parking Fund (627-54-622-665-3002-000-474-639990).

The City also pays for the “general benefit” portion of the TBID budget. “General benefits” represent that small portion of the overall benefits generated by a property- based business improvement district which are found to accrue to the general public who are not assessed and do not participate in the economic or social activities of the district. The engineer’s report commissioned for the reestablishment of the TBID in 2017 calculated that the baseline general benefit for the district would be approximately $29,816 annually (adjusted for yearly assessment increases, if any). The City already makes annual grants to the TBID which far exceed this amount, so there will be no new fiscal impacts related to funding the general benefit.

By financing improvements, maintenance and welcoming activities for the City’s campus-adjacent business district, the TBID indirectly enhances sales tax, business license tax and other business-related City revenue sources.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
State legislation that authorizes the formation of property-based business improvement districts (BID) (California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 36600 et. seq.) requires that the BID governing body submit an Annual Report on operations and a budget

proposal to the City Council each year. The City Council may approve the report with a Resolution to reauthorize the annual assessments.

The Board of Directors of the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC), the non-profit that manages the TBID, met in a publicly noticed meeting on April 8, 2025 to review and approve the attached FY25 Annual Report for the TBID and Budget for FY 2026 (Exhibit A). The report includes a budget for improvements and activities for FY 2026 and an estimated cost for providing them. The report also recommends that the assessments for FY 2026 be levied on the same basis and method, and within the same boundaries, as they were levied for FY 2025, with a 3% increase (Exhibit B: Telegraph BID FY 2026 Assessment Roll). Council can adopt the recommended Resolution which will confirm the TBID assessment and thus enable continuous BID operations for another year.

BACKGROUND
The TBID is a benefit assessment district that provides cleaning, hospitality and marketing services for Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue commercial district. The TBID was created in 1998 pursuant to California’s “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994” to provide needed improvements and activities to assessed property owners. Since the initial five-year term, the TBID has been renewed for a second five-year term in 2003, a ten-year term in 2008, and underwent an expansion and ten-year renewal in 2017. As such, the TBID is authorized through 2027 unless action is taken to disestablish it.

In FY 2026, the District has budgeted $673,068 for the provision of “Clean, Safe, and Beautification” services. Communications and events, marketing, and related management and administration costs make up the balance of the expenses for a total of $995,995. The FY26 revenue of the TBID is budgeted for approximately $995,974 inclusive of taxable and non-taxable parcels, grants, maintenance contracts, and private donations, and net of the County 1.7% collection fee on private parcels (Exhibit A).

The Management District Plan that was adopted by Council in 2017 as part of the reestablishment of the District provides a framework and budget for the TBID’s activities, assessment method, and illustrates the TBID boundary and benefit zones.

The Management District Plan provides for services above and beyond those provided by the City of Berkeley. Under “The Right to Vote on Taxes Act” (also known as Proposition 218) all public agencies are required to pay the same assessments for public property that apply to private property. The City owns one property within the district, the Telegraph Channing parking garage at 2431 Channing Way. The FY26 assessment for that property will be $53,656 a $1,563 increase (approximately 3%) from the FY2025 assessment. The City’s assessment is paid annually directly to the TPBMC through the Off-Street Parking Fund (627-54-622-665-3002-000-474-639990).

Assessments: Telegraph Property Based Business Improvement District CONSENT CALENDAR June 17, 2025

Page 4 ends

In FY 2026, the TBID will continue its ongoing “clean safe and beautification” activities, including ambassador services, graffiti removal, manual sidewalk cleaning and sidewalk pressure washing, hazardous waste cleanup, gutter and storm drain cleaning, street sweeping, litter removal, enhanced landscaping and landscape maintenance, and small infrastructure improvements including place-making activities, seasonal promotions, and other special projects. The TBID will also continue its program of communications and community development activities to provide a unified voice to represent the best interests of the assessed parcels and fulfill a slate of stakeholder communications that support the District’s agenda to attract visitors. The TBID will also continue to liaison and coordinate with other business district organizations, including Visit Berkeley, the Chamber, and the Berkeley Business District Network (BBDN) members to promote local business and commercial development opportunities in Berkeley.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
By maintaining and enhancing the district, the TBID creates shopping opportunities for residents and visitors while encouraging alternative forms of transportation. Because the District is well served by public transportation and biking infrastructure, these services support environmental sustainability goals of encouraging alternative transportation choices.

RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 requires that the BID Board prepare an Annual Report for each fiscal year in which assessments are to be levied. Council action is required to approve the BID’s Annual Report and declare its intent to levy assessments. This private/public partnership will continue to provide significant resources for Telegraph area revitalization, which has had a positive effect on the physical and economic health of the district.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
The Board of the TBID considered a range between 1.5% and 3% increase in assessment rates but instead decided to opt for a 3% increase (the maximum allowable is 3%) to its existing assessment rate, in order to make adequate investments in expanded capacity of the Ambassador Program, deliver robust events, and increase marketing efforts to promote district businesses.

Annual Report of the Telegraph Property and Business Improvement District

The Telegraph Property and Business Improvement District (TBID), managed by the Telegraph Property and Business Management Corporation (TPBMC), was renewed for a ten-year period by an affirmative vote of the property owners of the Telegraph commercial district by mail-in ballot in the spring of 2017. This vote was affirmed without protest by the City Council on May 2, 2017. This report is for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025 of this ten-year period (FY25).

In accordance with 36650 (b) of the Streets and Highway Code for the State of California, the TPBMC affirms the following:

Telegraph Clean & Safe Ambassador Program
The single most significant element of the TBID's ongoing work is the ambassador program which is provided through a contract with Block by Block. In keeping with the Management District Plan, the program provides 240 hours per week of cleaning and hospitality services year-round, seven days a week. The program comprises roughly 65% of the TBID’s budget.

In 2024-25 the program achieved substantial growth in social service delivery and crisis response. The Telegraph Ambassadors led efforts to enhance the network of southside social service providers through routine meetings and collaboration. The group is actively working to

expand access to direct services including a mobile shower program and additional outreach materials. Additionally, the program developed stronger working relationships with the Specialized Care Unit improving service delivery.

The Telegraph Ambassadors also expanded their crisis response capacity. Ambassadors completed formal Mental Health First Aid training, NARCAN training, and CPR training. Coupled with their learned experience, the Ambassadors provide a unique and highly-responsive level of support for individuals in crisis.

The program works collaboratively with UC Berkeley’s Homeless Outreach Coordinator and City staff to address the needs of unhoused community members in the District. The Ambassadors are trained in de-escalation and conflict resolution strategies; and respond to help unhoused community members, businesses, students, and local agencies to peacefully navigate conflicts and disruptive behaviors (often the result of substance abuse or a mental health crisis). Finally, the organization facilitates weekly coordination/case management meetings with local service agency staff and law enforcement resulting in a thoughtful and humane approach to problems involving the unhoused community.

In FY24-25 the Ambassador team exceeded cleaning and maintenance service level goals with their routine services shown in the table below. Additional accomplishments include:
● Performed the installation and planting of several new sidewalk planters. Provided regular care and maintenance of dozens of hanging basket planters and sidewalk planters.
● Actively monitored sidewalks and public spaces for hazards, damaged infrastructure, and maintenance issues. Reported and followed up on maintenance requests with several public agencies.
● Addressed dozens of pedestrian health and safety hazards from major debris, vegetation, and other obstructions.
● Performed sidewalk weed abatement and landscape maintenance district-wide through the Spring and early Summer.
● Refreshed paint on dozens of public fixtures, utility boxes, and light poles.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2026 tax rate for Business License Tax on large non-profits at $0.8736 (87.36 cents) per square foot of improvements.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The increase in the tax rate from $0.8207 (82.07 cents) per square foot of improvements in FY 2025 to $0.8736 (87.36 cents) per square foot of improvements in FY 2026, based on the Personal Income Growth (PIG) of 6.44% will result in estimated total collections of approximately $636,329 from $597,829 in FY 2025.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The non-profit organizations with over 120,000 square feet of business improvements were taxed at a rate of $0.8207 (82.07 cents) in FY 2025, as approved by the voters with Measure S on November 2, 2010. That measure also approved the indexing of tax for inflation, based on the higher of Personal Income Growth or the Consumer Price Index in May. The PIG reported on May 5, 2025 was 6.44% while the CPI reported on May 13, 2025 by the U.S.

Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics was 1.30%.

BACKGROUND
In 1994, the voters of California adopted Article XIII, Section 26 of the California Constitution, which prohibits local governments from taxing non-profit organizations based on their gross receipts. Prior to this date, the City’s business license tax ordinance had imposed a gross receipts tax on non-profit organizations, which raised approximately $250,000 per year. Article XIII, Section 26 does not prohibit local agencies from taxing non-profit organizations on bases other than gross receipts. On November 3, 1998, the voters approved Measure G with over 61% of the votes cast. Measure G amended the City’s business license tax ordinance to impose a charge of $0.51 (51 cents) on the square footage of business improvements over the first 120,000 square feet, and would be indexed for inflation annually for the following year in May, by the greater of the increase in the cost of living in the immediate San Francisco Bay Area or per capita

CONSENT CALENDAR
June 17, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Paul Buddenhagen, City Manager
Submitted by: Henry Oyekanmi, Director, Finance Department Subject: FY 2026 Tax Rate: Fund the Debt Service on the Street and Watershed Improvements General Obligation Bonds (Measure M, November 2012 Election)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt first reading of an Ordinance setting the FY 2026 tax rate funding the debt service on the Street and Integrated Watershed Improvements General Obligation Bonds (Measure M, November 2012) at 0.0050%.

FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
The tax levy of the recommended 0.0050% will result in estimated collections of $1,525,000. This amount (along with existing funds on hand) is sufficient to make the debt service payments on March 1, 2026 and September 1, 2026.

CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The 0.0050% tax rate for FY 2026 being set by the City Council is based on the current debt service, the estimated FY 2026 assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility), a delinquency reserve of 5%, and the surplus remaining in the fund. Since Alameda County does not release final assessed value figures until early August, the City is using preliminary values. Staff is confident that the preliminary values will not be materially different from the County’s final figure. The City must establish a tax rate that will be sufficient to make debt service payments even if there are unusual levels of delinquency. The tax rate in FY 2026 is a decrease in the rate charged in FY 2025.

Because all taxes collected from the general obligation levy will be deposited in a special fund, and collections not used to pay debt service for the FY 2026 bond year will be retained in the fund to pay future obligations, the tax impact of any over-collection will be credited against the next debt service payments and the required levy It is recommended that the City Council authorize a FY 2026 tax rate of 0.0050% which will result in the following cost to the average homeowner during FY 2026:

BACKGROUND
In November 2012, the residents of Berkeley voted for and approved Ballot Measure M, for the sum of $30,000,000 of General Obligation Bonds to accelerate street repaving and rehabilitation consistent with the 5-Year Street Rehabilitation Plan, integrating green infrastructure to the extent feasible. Green infrastructure includes but is not limited to: (a) surface level bio-retention measures (rain gardens, swales, bio-retention cells, permeable paving, etc.) within the parking strip, planter area of sidewalks, red zone curb-extensions, and in street medians as feasible; and (b) large underground storage pipes, which would fill during storm events and then discharge metered flows into the existing storm drain pipelines.
$15,000,000 of the $30,000,000 in authorized bonds were issued in 2014, and the remaining $15,000,000 were issued in 2016. The tax rate above reflects the debt service payments for the fiscal year.
