Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On May 16, 2023, the Council adopted six Resolutions of Intent, approving the proposed BIA Annual Reports and setting June 13, 2023, as the date for the public hearing to confirm the Annual Reports and to levy the proposed assessments for FY2023/24. At the public hearing, Council will consider any protests to the proposed assessments for FY2023/24. Any interested person will be permitted to present written or oral testimony. Upon conclusion of the hearing, staff recommends that Council approve the Annual Reports and levy the assessments for FY2023/24 for the Del Paso Boulevard, Downtown Plaza, Franklin Boulevard, Old Sacramento, Stockton Boulevard, and Sutter BIAs.

Policy Considerations: The actions in the recommended resolutions are required by the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 and Sacramento City Code chapters 3.96 - 3.112.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Environmental Considerations: Under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the continuing administrative activities of Business Improvement Areas and creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from review [14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(b)(2), (b)(4)].

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: None.

Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended actions will establish the budget for assessment expenditures, ensuring that funds collected for each BIA via business-based assessments are used for the intended purpose, which is to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of the BIA areas, in an effort to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent erosion of existing businesses.

Financial Considerations: The proposed expenditures are supported by assessments imposed on each business within the BIA. Under the “classification of businesses and charges imposed” section

File ID: 2023-00636 6/13/2023 Public Hearing Item 31.
of each respective BIA City Code chapter (except for the Sutter BIA chapter), BIAs are allowed an annual increase of the minimum and maximum assessments imposed based on the most recently available Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The most recent CPI - All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco Area for February 2023 was in the amount of 5.30%. Accordingly, assessments imposed for the Del Paso Boulevard, Downtown Plaza, Old Sacramento, and Stockton Boulevard BIAs will increase by 5.30% effective July 1, 2023, as shown in the attached BIA Assessment Schedule. The Downtown Plaza City Code chapter only allows a maximum 5% automatic annual increase, so the Downtown Plaza BIA assessments are only increasing by 5% in FY2023/24. The Sutter BIA assessments do not increase annually because City Code Chapter 3.106 does not provide an annual increase for inflation.

The City collects the BIA assessments at the time the business operations tax is paid. The assessments are then forwarded to the respective Advisory Board authorized by Council to conduct promotion of the BIA. The proposed BIA expenditures are fully supported by the assessments.

Collection costs are absorbed by the City.

Individual BIA budgets detailing the expected assessment collections and disbursements are included within the individual Annual Reports attached to this staff report. The proposed FY2023/24 expenditures for each BIA are summarized as follows:

BIA Assessment
Budget
Del Paso Boulevard $40,987
Downtown Plaza $92,400
Franklin Boulevard $82,833
Old Sacramento $153,000
Stockton Boulevard $78,800
Sutter $236,952
Total $684,972
Detailed budgets for services and programs are included in the Annual Reports submitted by each of the Advisory Boards.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

Re: Annual Report
Downtown Plaza Merchants’ Association
In Accordance with the Streets and Highway Code Section 36530 Fiscal Year 2023/2024

No changes to the boundaries of the improvement district are proposed. Attached is a budget for use of projected income for fiscal year 2023/2024.

Primary expenditures are focused on community, special events, and marketing designed to drive traffic and sales to Downtown Commons restaurants and retail.

Due to a limited budget in the coming fiscal year, funds are focused on key traditional holiday and seasonal events and social media marketing.

The 2023/24 Budget was presented to the Board of Directors on March 22, 2023 and was approved unanimously.

Sincerely,

Susie Rodgers
Marketing Manager

ANNUAL REPORT
Fiscal Year 2023-2024

PROPOSED

IMPROVEMENTS & ACTIVITIES
Program Management & Operations
Administer the day-to-day operations of the Association including financial management, membership support and inquiries, Board of Director support and assistance. We currently have two full-time staff to respond to inquiries and business/property owners’ needs. This includes, but is not limited to: answering phone calls and emails, distributing information, creating marketing documents and materials, and providing support for our members. Furthermore, outreach needs to be consistent and a database will be implemented for further development of outreach, services and assistance. We will assess needs and reassess current operations on an ongoing basis to be effective in supporting the business environment and their needs. For example, empty parcels or vacant units are a priority to fill. Gaining access to this information is imperative to promoting the district and increasing vitality of the corridor.

Clean Up, District Beautification & Security
Provide sidewalk and street cleaning services; graffiti, shopping cart and trash removal; and landscape maintenance in the public right-of-way on Franklin Boulevard for all commercial properties in the Property-Based Business Improvement District adjacent to Franklin Boulevard between Sutterville Road and 47th Avenue. Additionally, we have included a budget for security services in the district to help curb business theft and vandalism, and to ensure the boulevard remains safe for community members and patrons of our local businesses.

District Identity
Improve Franklin Boulevard’s streetscape, vacant properties, code enforcement, business signage and other public infrastructure. Market and promote the business district by revamping the branding of our district via the Association’s website, social media, newsletters and cultural events such as our Annual Membership Meeting & Luncheon and National Night Out. Continue working with our public and private partners to develop large-scale and culturally relevant mural projects in the business district on Franklin Boulevard. Additionally, we continue to build stronger relationships with our neighborhoods, community partners and law enforcement to garner support via community events and other activities.

As we build on a stronger sense of community, our district continues to host annual events to bolster our cultural identity that include Cinco De Mayo, Mexican Independence Day and the Back to the Boulevard Car Cruise, and National Night Out.
• May 5, 20 23: 5 de Mayo -- $1,000
• August 1, 2023: National Night Out -- $2,000
• September
2023: Back to the Blvd: Car Cruise & Mexican
Independance Day -- $5,000
• October 31, 2023: Trunk-or-Treat -- $500
• December 2023: La Posada -- $ 500
• Branding & new banners -- $5,000
Current endeavors to provide marketing and technical assistance are offered through our partnership with the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber and our Emprende program. Our members are looking to gain more expertise but access to capital and/or language barriers are prevalent, hence the need to expand on these services in other languages besides English. We are regularly updating our social media and website pages to better promote the businesses in the district and to leverage partnerships to provide business workshops, technical assistance and access to capital. Moreover, we are looking for ways to retain and grow businesses in the district as well as attract new businesses that provide jobs to the surrounding community.

Re: 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget – Sutter Business Improvement Area-SBIA

Dear Susanne,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Midtown Sacramento PBID Corporation dba Midtown Association, I have enclosed our 2023-2024 fiscal year annual budget pursuant to the State of California Parking and Business Improvement Area law of 1989.

The total SBIA budget for FY 2023-2024 is $236,952.00.

Thank you for your continued support of Midtown, and the Sutter Business Improvement Area. If you have questions or need additional information, I can be reached by phone at (916) 442-1500.

Sincerely,

Emily Baime Michaels
Executive Director

1 Sutter Business Improvement Area Annual Report
Overview: The Sutter Business Improvement Area (SBIA ), also known as Midtown Sutter , is an assessment district to provide specific benefits to payers managed by the Midtown Association.

The SBIA was adopted by the Sacramento City Council on January 29, 2008 and collections began the first fiscal year, July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009. This is the annual report. The Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, California Streets and Highways Code Section 36500 et seq. (the Law), authorizes cities to establish business improvement areas for the purpose of providing improvements and activities that benefit those businesses.

Location: The SBIA includes all restaurant bu sinesses with an occupancy of 49 customers or more located within the portion of Midtown Sacramento bounded by 27th Street, 29th Street, J Street, and P Street, as shown on the map attached as Exhibit A.

Services: The types of improvements and activities to be funded by the levy of assessments against restaurant businesses within the SBIA are additional security, maintenance and marketing programs to promote Midtown Sutter as an attractive destination for dining and projects, programs, and activities that benefit restaurant businesses located and operating within the boundaries of the district. The proposed improvements and activities shall be targeted at increasing restaurant business revenues.
