STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Sales Tax Update:

Finance staff continue to closely monitor the City’s sales tax revenue streams. Sales tax revenue is the largest General Fund revenue source for the City and as such fluctuations in sales tax have the largest effect on the City’s finances.

For sales tax receipts between October and December 2021 the City of Fortuna actual receipts, excluding reporting aberrations, were down 0.5% as compared to October to December 2020. For comparison the County realized a 2.5% decrease and the State of California realized a 15.6% increase. The reason the state far outpaced the City was because the State had much larger decreases at the onset of the pandemic as compared to the City and the County which did not realize significant decreases last October to December 2020. Fuel and Service Stations, Autos and Transportation, and Restaurants and Hotels were the only segments which realized increases quarter over quarter. Additional information about how the City’s sales tax performed during the month of October to December 2021 can be found in attachment ‘B’.

New Fiscal Year:

With the close of fiscal year 2021-22 at the end of the month Finance staff are working diligently on both closing out fiscal year 2021-22 and preparing to open up next fiscal year 2022-23. The year-end process entails running numerous reports, making audit adjustment entries, reconciling accounts, and ensuring all invoices for the 2021-22 year are paid timely. The new fiscal year entails uploading the new budget, issuing open purchase orders, and updating payroll numbers to reflect the fiscal year 2022-23 rates for wages, Cal-PERS pension plans, and other benefits.

Measure E Update:

The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for September 20, 2022 at 5:30pm. The primary purpose of this meeting will be for Staff to review with the Committee the Consent Calendar Item 4d

SALES TAX UPDATE

CITY OF FORTUNA
4Q 2021 (OCTOBER - DECEMBER)
Fortuna’s receipts from October through
December were 5.6% above the fourth
sales period in 2020. Excluding late/
deferred payments and other reporting
adjustments, receipts for the period
were down 0.5%.

Local businesses posted an overall
increase of 2.8% this period but changes
in the use tax pool reporting and a drop
in online sales cut the City’s allocation by
more than $15,000 and this pushed total
receipts lower. The business and industry
group’s sales were lower compared to
this time last year when federal stimulus
funds were boosting retail sales.

On a positive note, restaurant and gas
station receipts both posted their 4th
consecutive quarter of double-digit
gains.

Measure E’s results were also lower
as spending on transportation needs
dipped this period along with those from
the construction group. Material prices
declined for most of the quarter before
lumber prices began to rise sharply at
the end of the quarter.

Net of adjustments, taxable sales for all
of Humboldt County declined 2.5% over
the comparable time period while those
of the Far North region were up 2.8%.

4Q 2021 CITY OF FORTUNA SALES TAX UPDATE

STATEWIDE RESULTS
California’s local one cent sales and use
tax receipts for sales during the months of
October through December were 15% higher
than the same quarter one year ago after
adjusting for accounting anomalies. A holiday
shopping quarter, the most consequential
sales period of the year, and the strong result
was a boon to local agencies across the State.

Consumers spent freely as the economy
continued its rebound from the pandemic
and as robust labor demand reduced
unemployment and drove up wages.

Brick and mortar retailers did exceptionally
well as many shoppers returned to physical
stores rather than shopping online as the
COVID crisis waned. This was especially
true for traditional department stores
that have long been among the weakest
categories in retail. Discount department
stores, particularly those selling gas, family
and women’s apparel and jewelry merchants
also experienced strong sales. Many retailers
are now generating revenue that is nearly
as much, or even higher, than pre-pandemic
levels.

Sales by new and used car dealers were also
much higher than a year ago. The inventory
shortage has resulted in higher prices that
have more than offset the decline in unit
volume in terms of revenue generation for
most dealerships. Restaurants and hotels
were only moderately lower than last
quarter, with both periods being the highest
in the State’s history. Increased menu prices
coupled with robust demand to dine out are
largely responsible for these gains. These are
impressive results for a sector that does not
yet include the positive impact that will occur
later this year as international travel steadily
increases at major airports. Conference
business, an important revenue component
for many hotels, is also still in the early stages
of recovery.

Building material suppliers and contractors
were steady as growing residential and
commercial property values boosted demand,
particularly in the Southern California,
Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley regions.

Although anticipated interest rate increases
by the Federal Reserve could dampen the
short-term outlook for this sector, industry
experts believe limited selling activity will
inspire increased upgrades and improvements
by existing owners. With demand remaining
tight and calls for more affordable housing
throughout the state, the long-term outlook
remains positive.

The fourth quarter, the final sales period of
calendar year 2021, exhibited a 20% rebound
in tax receipts compared to calendar year
2020. General consumer goods, restaurants,
fuel and auto-transportation industries were
the largest contributors to this improvement.

However, the future growth rate for statewide
sales tax revenue is expected to slow markedly.

Retail activity has now moved past the easy
year-over-year comparison quarters in 2021
versus the depths of the pandemic bottom the
year before. Additional headwinds going into
2022 include surging inflation, a dramatic jump
in the global price of crude oil due to Russia’s
war in Ukraine and corresponding monetary
tightening by the Federal Reserve. This is
expected to result in weakening consumer
sentiment and continued, but decelerating,
sales tax growth into 2023.

THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Director’s Report
 The regularly scheduled Rohner Community Recreation and Park District (RCRPD) monthly meeting was cancelled on 5/4, due to no quorum, however LACO & Associates are continuing their effort on the Benefit Assessment for RCRPD. Additionally, a meeting was held with the pool design consultant Counsilman-Hunsaker in May to discuss alternate aquatic facility designs with lower construction costs, with the goal of a lower additional parcel tax request when the Benefit Assessment goes to the ballot.  The Parks Department removed all of the rubber tire chip surfacing material in both the Rohner Park 5-12 year-old playground, as well as the 2-5 year old/ Tot Lot playground.

The material was replaced with certified engineered playground fibers (wood chips specific to playgrounds). The 5-12 playground received a total of 400 cubic yards, with the Tot Lot receiving 200 cubic yards; giving more than adequate depth and material to prevent injury and last many years, and according to playground safety standards. Some of the rubber chip material was transferred over to Newburg Park for increased depth, which still has rubber chip surfacing, with future plans to also convert it to the playground fibers. The purpose of the replacement was to move away from a synthetic material that may get into our environment (i.e. creeks & storm drains), stains clothes and hands, and has generally broken down over time. This project was funded by Measure E’s “General Parks Improvements”.
 The Parks Dept. was notified by CA State Parks of a site-visit on 6/6 related to the Prop 68 Rural Recreation and Tourism (RRT) competitive grant application/ project that the City applied for in January for the potential development of a new park on a 7+ acre parcel located along the Eel River on Riverwalk Drive.
 Planning is underway for the upcoming “Pastels in the Park” event, to be held on Saturday, June 11th at Newburg Park from 10am-12pm. It will be the second year of the event, with the event again sponsored by First 5 Humboldt.

Depot Museum
May’s visitation total at the Fortuna Depot Museum was 166 people. This is noticeably lower than our typical pre-COVID May visitor totals, due to the fact that since COVID, few school groups have visited the museum. Recent years’ May visitation totals were: 2021: 115, 2020: closed, 2019:
303, 2018: 288, 2017: 310, 2016: 243, 2015: 258, 2014: 281, 2013: 396, 2012: 358, 2011: 338. In May 2022, we welcomed California visitors from Arcata, Bayside, Berkeley, Eureka, Fort Bragg, Fortuna, Loleta, McKinleyville, Richmond, Rio Dell, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Scotia and Whittier, as well as out-of-state visitors from Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Ohio and Utah.

Citywide Water Conservation Measures
As presented at the June 6th Council Meeting, effective on June 10th the City of Fortuna will be enacting Stage 2 of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). This is a mandatory requirement by the State, and is being prompted by State Execute Order N-7-22, which also passed a vote with the State Legislator on May 25, 2022. Enactment of State 2 of the WSCP is not a result of supply issues with the City of Fortuna’s water system and well field. The Measures that are in effect under Stage 2 of the City’s WSCP include:
 No use of a hose without a shutoff nozzle (to prevent water waste when hose not in use)  No use of non-recirculatory fountains or water features  No washing sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, or tennis courts or other exterior paved ways unless by a public agency for the purposes of public safety  Outdoor irrigation days for ornamental landscapes or turf will be Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursdays. Outdoor irrigation for gardens or other non-ornamental landscapes are permitted on all days
 The application of potable water to outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes excessive runoff onto non-intended areas is prohibited
A primary component of implementing the water conservation stage is public outreach. Leading up to June 10th, staff prepared and gave a presentation to the public at the June 6th Council meeting, developed a water conservation flyer, and developed a webpage on the City’s website (https://www.friendlyfortuna.com/departments/public_works/water___wastewater_departments/ water/water_conservation.php)
Consent Calendar Item 4g

The City regularly measures depth to groundwater in the City’s water wells, and as shown in the graph in the Chief Plant Operators report, water levels are generally consistent with previous years, wet or dry. Staff will continue to measure and assess groundwater levels as the summer month’s progress, and report on the status of the aquifer.
12th Street Interchange Modernization Project
Staff have been working with Caltrans and HCOAG to complete the funding allocation paperwork for the California Transportation Commission. Early indications from Caltrans was that the allocation process may be simplified, however, it appears this assessment was incorrect and that there will need to be additional paperwork and agreements prior to beginning actual project work.

At this point, staff anticipate taking a professional services award recommendation to the Council at the second meeting in July, and beginning design work on the project sometime later in 2022. 12th Street Prop 1 Integrated Stormwater Enhancement Project Staff have executed the professional services agreement with the City’s consulting City engineer and have begun planning pre-design field investigation activities. The City worked with Fortuna Union High School staff to finalize the memorandum of understanding pertaining to the Low Impact Development (LID) basin located on the high school property.

Campton and Hillside Water Tank Coating Project
The City is awaiting a tank cleaning a dive inspection of the two steel water tanks prior to developing the final project plans. The dive inspection is anticipated to take place in June.

Kenmar and Drake Hill Water Pump Station Emergency Stationary Generators The project was awarded to Robert Colburn Electric at the June 6th council meeting. Currently, staff are working on contracting, bonding, and insurance with the contractor, and anticipate issuing the Notice to Proceed in mid-June. The first order of work on the project will be for the contractor to order the generators.

Caltrans Active Transportation Program Grant for John Campbell Trail During May, staff worked on a grant application to the Caltrans Active Transportation Grant Program (ATP) for Phase 1 and 2 of the John Campbell Memorial Trail. The proposed project in the grant would include the trail in between the River Lodge and Redwood Way, and include some other minor sidewalk infills along Redwood Way and Fortuna Boulevard. The grant application will be submitted on June 15th. Staff anticipated hearing back on the grant later in 2022.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Christopher Christianson, Chief Treatment Plant Operator THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Supplemental Budget Request and Authorize the Purchase of Wastewater Treatment Plant Grit System Components
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve supplemental budget request and authorize the purchase of wastewater treatment plant grit system components.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The wastewater treatment plant grit system suffered a catastrophic failure in May. Various bearings, shafts and sprockets in the grit channel broke due to age, wear and tear, and corrosion from the hazardous environment in which this equipment functions.

Staff maintain the grit system on a regular basis. In this case, the equipment that failed existed and operated in an extremely harsh environment, working around hydrogen sulfide gases, and hard, unforgiving material. When one part broke, it caused a cascading series of events that broke many other parts. Immediately following the failure, staff worked to remove the broken parts and identify the items needed for repair or replacement.

Every day the grit system is offline, grit is accumulating and flowing through into downstream processes. If allowed to continue, this situation will build into more costly and detrimental results, and therefore a resolution to this issue as quickly as possible is required.

Section 2.50.070 of the Fortuna Municipal Code, Exceptions to Bidding, provides for the purchase of supplies or equipment if there is an emergency need, as determined by the City Manager (A). It also states that bid procedures are not necessary when the supplies or equipment can be obtained from only one vendor (B). Both of these conditions apply to this purchase.

Walker Process Equipment is the sole supplier of parts and equipment for the City’s grit system, as detailed in the attached letter. They are the original equipment manufacturer. As seen in the attached quote, the cost for replacement parts is currently above the purchasing limit of the City Manager, and therefore staff is requesting authorization from the Council for this purchase.

As soon as the parts are received, City plant staff will move forward with installation. Once installed, this equipment should last for 20 years.

Consent Calendar Item 4j

FISCAL IMPACT:

The financial impact to the City will be approximately $42,000, which is the cost of the replacement parts (per the attached quote), and estimated tax and shipping costs. The City will be paying for the cost of the materials from the treatment plant’s equipment repair fund (550-5720- 6600), which has a current unencumbered balance of approximately $15,000. Staff request an additional budget appropriation of $30,000 from Wastewater Reserves to cover the anticipated cost beyond the existing available budget.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Consent Agenda vote.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Solid Waste Collection Franchise Rate Adjustment Request STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the council approve the solid waste rate adjustment requested by Recology, Inc. to reflect the Consumer Price Index increase for the coming fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Fortuna entered into a franchise agreement with Eel River Disposal in 1998 for solid waste and recycling and collection. The franchise agreement was transferred to Recology, Inc. in 2017. The term of the franchise agreement currently ends in 2025.

In accordance with Sections 2.03.06, and 2.03.07 of the franchise agreement, rates may be adjusted annually based Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the rates effective on July 1 of the following year. A copy of those sections are shown in Table 1, below. The consumer price index is based on the All Urban Consumers, West-C index determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (CPI Index) and the month identified for annual comparison is March.

The CPI Index increase between March 2021 and March 2022 was 9%. Recology submitted a rate adjustment request to the City reflecting the CPI Index increase of 9% increase to their solid waste collection and disposal rates in accordance with the provisions of the Franchise agreement.

A copy of the request and the calculation are attached to this staff report. The net increase to solid waste collection rates is less than the CPI, as recycling rates reduced because the tonnage of recyclables and the processing fees both are expected to be lower in the next fiscal year.

The proposed rates shown with the current rates are presented on page 7 of the Recology Adjustment request. The cost of the 32-gallon can with the proposed rates in Fortuna is still lower than all of the other communities in the Eel River Valley.

Consent Calendar Item 4k

Table 1. Sections 2.03.06 and 2.03.07 of the Franchise Agreement between the City of Fortuna and Recology, Inc.

City staff has reviewed the requested increase for accuracy and has determined that the request meets the provisions of the Franchise Agreement for this type of adjustment.

Under the provision of paragraph 2.03.07i, the City Manager has the authority to approve CPI increases of less then or equal to 3%. However, the City Council must approve any annual CPI adjustment greater then 3%. Therefore, this item is presented to the Council for approval.

Consent Calendar Item 4k

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approve the solid waste rate adjustment requested by Recology, Inc. to reflect the Consumer Price Index increase by Consent Agenda vote.

Business Agenda Item 5a

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Agenda Item
DATE: June 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Amending Fortuna Business Improvement District Regulations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council conduct a second reading, by title only, and adopt Ordinance 2022-756, which amends the Fortuna Business Improvement District (“FBID”) regulations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed Ordinance is intended to modify the existing FBID regulations contained in the Fortuna Municipal Code (“FMC”). The modifications concern the regulations governing the composition of and appointment to the FBID advisory committee. Staff recommends these modifications to provide the Council more flexibility and oversight over advisory committee appointments. The modifications are necessary following the decision by the Board of Directors of the non-profit Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation to resign effective June 1, 2022. The Board of Directors for the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation has served as the FBID advisory committee under contract with the City since at least 2000.

In particular, the proposed Ordinance would make the following amendments:

1. Removes the provision stating that the FBID advisory committee also serve as the Board of Directors for the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation.

2. Authorizes the Council to appoint individuals to the FBID advisory committee, as opposed to the existing regulations in which the Council merely approves nominations by the Board of Directors of the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation.

3. Replaces inflexible language in the existing regulations as to the compositional makeup of the advisory committee. The proposed Ordinance requires, instead, that the Council prioritize appointments to meet the existing compositional makeup requirements.

4. Implements two-year term limits for advisory committee members, but allows for incumbents to re-apply for additional terms.

Business Agenda Item 5a

5. Includes a provision that the FBID advisory committee will make recommendations and report to the City Council on matters within its purview.

6. Modifies the existing regulations to specify that each core area subcommittee will be comprised of no less than three persons and will be appointed by the FBID advisory committee. The existing regulations do not specify a minimum number of persons for the core area subcommittees.

7. Finds the proposed Ordinance to be exempt from CEQA.

The proposed Ordinance does not propose any change to the assessment amount, boundaries of the district, or the manner in which funds are allocated among the core areas (Downtown, Redwood Village Shopping Center, and Strongs Creek Plaza) and Citywide.

Staff recommends these limited changes to aid in the transition the administration of FBID back to the City following the resignation of the Board of Directors for the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation and the corporation’s eventual dissolution.

Staff will begin the process of advertising for appointments to the FBID advisory committee in consultation with stakeholders.

DISCUSSION
A. Background and Summary of Existing Regulations
FBID was established by the City for the purpose of imposing benefit assessments and charges on businesses for certain purposes in accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Streets and Highways Code §§ 36500 et seq.). The founding Resolution (90-10) and subsequent Ordinance (90-550) included a boundary and the proposed uses for which the revenue was to be used and included the following:
 Promotion of public events which are to take place on or in public places in the District;  Decoration of any public place in the District;
 Furnishing of music in any public place within the District;  The general promotion of business activities within the District; and  Marketing to fill available space, recruiting and expansion of commercial enterprise.

The founding ordinance and resolution also included an assessment schedule for how much each business within the District would be assessed on an annual basis, and how those funds would be distributed between the core areas and the Citywide district. The distribution of the funds between the Core Areas and the Citywide district was divided as follows:
 62% raised within each core area to be used to promote that Core Area  38% raised within each core area to be used to promote the entire community Business Agenda Item 5a

The Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 requires that the Council appoint an advisory committee to, among other delegated responsibilities, make recommendations to the Council on the expenditure of revenues derived from the levy of assessments, on the classification of businesses, as applicable, and on the method and basis of levying the assessments. Further, the advisory board is responsible for preparing an annual report to the Council that contains the following:
(1) Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the parking and business improvement area or in any benefit zones within the area.
(2) The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. (3) An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. (4) The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year.
(5) The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
(6) The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied.

Since 2000, the City has contracted with the third-party non-profit corporation Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation to administer FBID. The Board of Directors of the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation also served as the advisory committee.

Under the existing FBID regulations, which are contained in Chapter 5.40 of the Fortuna Municipal Code, the advisory committee is comprised of seven members, as follows:
 One representative from the Downtown Area
 One representative from Redwood Village Shopping Center  One representative appointed Citywide
 One representative appointed from the City Council
 One representative nominated by the Chamber of Commerce  Two people nominated by the other representatives
The existing regulations further require that certain industries be represented on the advisory committee, as follows:
 Three representatives from the retail industry
 Two representatives from the professional and services industry  One representative from the manufacturing or wholesale industry  One representative from the hospitality industry
Business Agenda Item 5a

Under the existing regulations, the Council has the authority to approve nominations made by the Board of Directors of the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation. The Council does not have the authority to make appointments, under the existing regulations, except for selecting the Council liaison to the advisory committee.

The existing regulations further require that the advisory committee appoint three separate subcommittees, each one representing a core area. The subcommittee is responsible for determining how best to spend the funds allocated to the Core Area.

B. Summary of Proposed Changes
The proposed Ordinance is made necessary following the resignation of the Board of Directors of the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation. The resignations leave the Council without an advisory committee to make nominations or otherwise perform the responsibilities of FBID.

Accordingly, staff is recommending the changes proposed in the Ordinance to provide the Council more flexibility and oversight over the advisory committee appointment process. The changes are reflected in strikethrough text for all deletions and underlined text for any insertions to the existing regulations.

Importantly, the proposed Ordinance does not propose any change to the assessment amount, boundaries of the district, or the manner in which funds are allocated among the Core Areas (Downtown, Redwood Village Shopping Center, and Strongs Creek Plaza) and Citywide.

The proposed Ordinance does make the following changes:
 Deletes the requirement that members of the advisory committee serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation. As noted, the Board of Directors has resigned, and the Fortuna Business Improvement Corporation is no longer a functioning corporation capable of performing its obligations to administer FBID under contract with the City.
 The proposed Ordinance maintains the requirement of a seven-member advisory committee, but amends the existing regulations to allow the Council to appoint all members.
 The proposed Ordinance maintains the compositional make up for the advisory committee, but it removes the mandatory language, in favor of preferential language, to provide flexibility in instances where there is insufficient interest to meet these requirements. Staff believes this change is advisable to provide the Council more discretion in making appointments and to avoid turning away interested and qualified volunteers due to a strict quota system.
 The proposed Ordinance implements term limits of two years, but without restriction on an incumbent’s ability to apply for re-appointment for an unlimited number of terms. Staff Business Agenda Item 5a

believes this is important to maintain a regular advertisement and appointment process to generate more participation and new perspectives.
 The proposed Ordinance includes an express provision that the advisory committee make recommendations and report to the Council on the general expenditure of revenues derived from the levy of assessments, on the classification of businesses, as applicable, and on the method and basis of levying the assessments, among other responsibilities as may be directed by the Council or as required by law.
 The proposed Ordinance includes a provision that each Core Area subcommittee will be comprised of at least three members, each of whom will be appointed by the advisory committee.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Agenda Item
DATE: June 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Ryan Plotz, City Attorney
THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding Fortuna Business Improvement District’s Annual Assessment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council conduct the annual Fortuna Business Improvement District public hearing and consider adopting Resolution 2022-23 authorizing the annual assessment for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the June 6, 2022, Regular Meeting, the Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (the “Resolution of Intent”), a copy of which is attached hereto. The Resolution of Intent accomplished the following: (i) approved the FBID annual report as submitted on June 6, 2022, which proposed no changes to the purpose, boundaries, or assessment rates; (ii) declared the Council’s intention to levy and collect the annual FBID assessment for the 2022-2023 fiscal year at the same rates as in the prior year; and (iii) provided notice of this public hearing and the right of businesses subject to the annual assessment to submit a written or oral protest against the assessment.

As required by law, the Resolution of Intent and the notice of this public hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City at least seven (7) days prior to the date of this public hearing.

The purpose of this public hearing is to determine whether the FBID annual assessment should be levied for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. The Council may authorize the assessment unless sufficient written protests against the assessment are received by the City Clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing.

A protest is successful if written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the assessment area which will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than that 50 percent. The Council must also consider oral protests during the public hearing, but only written protests that meet the content requirements are counted for purposes of determining whether the protest is successful.

Each written protest must contain a description of the business in which the person submitting the protest is affiliated sufficient to identify the business and, if a person submitting is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest must contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person submitting is the owner of the business. A written Business Agenda Item 5b

protest which does not comply with these requirements shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. The Council may, however, waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest.

If the protest is successful, the Council may not levy the assessment for the particular fiscal year.

If the protest is not successful, the Council may authorize and levy the assessment by adopting Resolution 2022-23, attached hereto. The proposed resolution included the authorized rates, which remain unchanged from the prior fiscal year.

Staff recommends that the Council adopt the proposed resolution to continue levying the assessment at the same rate as the last fiscal year, assuming the protest is unsuccessful.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

FBID collects approximately $62,000 in assessments annually and the city contributes an equal amount for an approximate total $124,000 annually. Of that amount the core areas receive approximately the following amounts:

Core Area Assessment Distribution to Core
Area (62%)
Citywide Share
(38%)
Citywide $34,500 0 $34,500
Downtown $13,000 $8,060 $4,940
Redwood Village $9,000 $5,580 $3,420
Strongs Creek $5,000 $3,100 $1,900
Total $61,500 $16,740 $44,760
If the Council adopts the resolution, there would be no fiscal impact from the prior years, as the assessment would be maintained at existing rates.

If the Council does not adopt the resolution, the annual assessment would not be authorized, resulting in the loss of the assessment revenue in the estimated amount of $62,000.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff

2. Open Public Hearing

3. Receive any testimony

4. Close Public Hearing

5. Determine whether a protest exists

6. If the protest is unsuccessful, motion to adopt Resolution 2022-23, read by title only.
