2 A Business Improvement District (BID) is an area where business owners collectively agree to pay assessments to fund improvements and activities that benefit the district.
In partnership with the downtown business owners, the Huntington Beach City Council formed the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (District) in 2004 by approving ordinance No. 3661. One goal of establishing the District was to strengthen and improve the visitor experience in the downtown business district.
In 2008, City Council appointed a non-profit organization, the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID), to serve as the District's Advisory Board. The HBDBID acts to administer and manage BID activities and funding outlined in the ordinance and resolutions establishing the District. The HBDBID consists of a volunteer Board of Directors and administrative staff to support the goals of providing communication, marketing, and coordination of the HBDBID’s work. 3 Proposed changes in the boundaries of the parking and business improvement areas or in any of the benefit zones within the area in FY 2022-2023 (no proposed changes) Improvements and activities to be provided for FY 2022-2023 (page 8) The estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for FY 2022-2023 (page 17, under Budget)

The Annual Report
The District's Advisory Board (HBDBID) is required to prepare an annual report to be submitted to the Huntington Beach City Clerk. The annual report contains a proposed work plan, a detailed budget for the upcoming year, a summary of accomplishments, and the following information:
The annual assessment process requires City actions -- including two City Council meetings, where the City Council must adopt resolutions approving the assessment for the upcoming year. 1st City Council Meeting
Public Notice
2nd City Council Meeting
At or before the public hearing, all members of the District and public are welcome to protest the annual assessment. Each protest vote is weighted based on the amount of the assessment paid by the business. If the City receives written protests totaling 50% or more of the total assessment, the assessment will not be levied for that year. Even if there is not an assessment for a particular year, the Downtown BID remains, and the annual process to levy the assessment will start over in the next year.
4 made orally or in writing
made at the public hearing; however, in order to count in calculating whether businesses paying 50% or more of the proposed assessments are against the assessment, a protest must be in writing and received before the public hearing
mailed to the City Clerk of the City of Huntington Beach at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California 92648
emailed to [email protected] with the subject line: Downtown BID Assessment Protest submitted to the City Clerk before the public hearing
How can I provide Public Hearing Comments For or Against the Assessment? At the annual public hearing, all members of the District and the public are welcome to speak to the City Council regarding the annual assessment. A protest against the levy assessment may be:
Each written protest must be received by the City Clerk no later than the public hearing. Written protest against the benefit assessments to be levied may be:
Each written protest must be filed by an owner of a business located within the District and signed by the person shown on the official records of the City as being the owner or designated agent of that business. For purposes of District protests, the “official records” of the City are the City business license database. If the person signing the protest is not shown on the official records of the City of Huntington Beach as the owner of the business, then the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person is the “designated agent” for the corporation or entity. A written protest may be withdrawn from record at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing.
If there are a large number of written protests submitted on a timely basis, the City Council has the option to close the public hearing and then continue the matter to its next regularly scheduled meeting to allow for a thorough counting of the submitted written protests. If written protests have been timely submitted by the owners of the businesses within the District that will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the total assessments of the entire District, then no further proceedings to levy the assessments shall occur for the FY 2022-2023 year and any new proceedings to levy assessments shall not be undertaken again for a period of at least one (1) year from the date of the finding of the 50% or more written protest by the City Council. If the 50% or more written protest is only as to an improvement or activity proposed in the annual report, then that type of improvement or activity shall not be included in the upcoming year.
5 There are approximately 255 businesses in the District. Depending on the business type, square footage, and location, individual business assessments range from $80 to $1,404 per year.

8 AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The Ambassador program through 12 ”0” 27 Protective Services, aka Big Tony, officially started in 2017 after a pilot program in 2016 and continues to be vital to the weekend safety of the District.
The purpose of the Ambassadors is to establish a rapport and presence with business owners, patrons, and residents of Huntington Beach in the District. Their role is to observe and report situations concerning well-being and safety within the surrounding area. Their goal is to ensure that all visitors to Downtown HB enjoy themselves and are provided with the safest environment possible. Visit Huntington Beach funds a portion of the Ambassador program.
HBPD COMMUNICATIONS
HBDBID has a positive relationship with the HB Police Department. They continue to play a vital role on the "Downtown Business Briefing" biweekly calls. In June of 2022, HBDBID along with Visit Huntington Beach and the HB Police Department hosted a Responsible Service Meeting. Over 80 attendees heard from Council Member Kim Carr, HB Police Chief Eric Parra and Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) to learn more about responsible serving. HBDBID is partnering with the HBPD for an active shooter training for our Stakeholder in Fall 2022.

SOCIAL MEDIA
The District manages two Instagram accounts - @hbdowntownusa and @hbdowntownevents. The HB Downtown USA account has been active since 2020 and has a following of over 6,000. The account promotes downtown businesses such as new member openings, business spotlights, and more. The District Events account was created when HBDBID became the operator of the Artisan Fair at Pier Plaza.
The account focuses on District events and highlights market vendors. Through the collaboration feature, the accounts can easily connect.
WEBSITE
A primary focus of HBDBID marketing has been revamping the HB Downtown Website. The new website will feature each business with its page that will include a business description, photos, and links to their social media. In addition, there will be more information about District signature events to promote activity in the downtown district. The new website will be complete by the end of 2022.
E-NEWSLETTERS
E-Newsletters continue to be a positive marketing tool for the District. This will be an important tool to connect with the new website to create more "blog" style e-newsletters for better storytelling. 2021-2022 posts with the most engagement include:
HBPD Appreciation Night, Duke's Huntington Beach, Downtown, and Surf City Nights closure to honor fallen HBPD officer Nicholas Vella. 20% of FY 2022-2023 assessments fees fund Marketing & Events 11 Increased pre-packed vendors to include fresh seafood, small batch soups, nut milks, and more.

California Surfing Day-a collaboration with International Surfing Association.
Many of the District's signature events had been on hiatus since 2019 due to COVID-19. With the return of Surf City Nights in early 2021, signature and NEW events have made a return to the downtown destination. These events provide a sense of community, enhance the downtown experience and add value to the City of Huntington Beach.
Surf City Nights, a weekly event, is a destination for our locals and visitors. The number of vendors has decreased by roughly 50 percent due to less space with the addition of outdoor dining. This created an opportunity to reimagine the market and create a unique experience for Surf City Nights. This was achieved through:
Programming, live music, and new vendors make Surf City Nights the place to be on Tuesday nights! Fall/Winter 2021 began the return of many annual events, including Surf City Days (canceled due to oil spill), Surf City Spooktacular (Halloween), Magic on Main Street (Tree Lighting), and Chili at The Beach.
In March of 2022, the HBDBID became the operator of the Pier Plaza Artisan Fair. The Surf City Artisan Fair focuses on local and regional crafters, dynamic programming, and community engagement. The concept of the Four Corners (Gathering, Giving, Creative and Learning) creates a foundation of welcome, inspiration, philanthropy, and idea sharing through art, music, non-profits, community groups, and education. This NEW event is an excellent addition to downtown events.
Surf City Days will return in September 2022 after a hiatus in 2019. The weekend festival will include the He’e Nalu Aloha Pier Festival, HSS Demo Days, and the 2nd Annual Rockin Fig Vintage Surf Festival. He’e Nalu Aloha Pier Festival is a two-day event with entertainment, performances, and a Hawaii-themed vendor market at Pier Plaza.
HBDBID continues to maximize opportunities with events taking place in the District.
Events include:
This collaborative approach with our partners has increased activity and connectivity in the downtown destination.
