Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Established under the authority of the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 and City Code chapters 3.96 through 3.112, the purpose of the BIA districts is to provide enhanced economic revitalization and physical maintenance services to specific business districts. The funding of these services and activities are provided by an assessment imposed on the individual businesses.

Annually, each BIA is required to submit an Annual Report (Report) for Council approval as a prerequisite to Council levying the annual assessment. The BIA Advisory Boards, which are appointed by Council and generally made up of business owners within the BIA districts, have prepared the required Reports for FY2024/25, detailing the proposed assessments and expenditure budgets. The Reports are attached to each resolution. The BIA Fee Schedule provides a summary of the proposed assessments for each BIA and is attached to this staff report.

The individual Reports are attached as Exhibit A to each Resolution. City staff recommends that Council approve the Del Paso Boulevard, Downtown Plaza, Franklin Boulevard, Old Sacramento, Stockton Boulevard, and Sutter BIA Reports.

Adoption of the six resolutions will approve the associated Report, set the time and place for the public hearing on the proposed assessment, and authorize the City Clerk to publish the resolutions in the City’s official newspaper pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 36534(b).

Policy Considerations: 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 BIAs in an effort to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent erosion of existing businesses.

Economic Impacts: None.

Page 2 of 3 ends

File ID: 2024-00987 5/28/2024 Consent Item 8.

Environmental Considerations: Under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the continuing administrative activities of BIAs 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 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.

Financial Considerations: The proposed expenditures are supported by fees assessed against each business within the BIA. Pursuant to the applicable City Code section for each BIA describing the charges imposed, an automatic annual increase to BIA fees is authorized to account for inflation (except within the Sutter BIA). The automatic increase is based on the most current Consumer Price Index (CPI) - San Francisco All Urban Consumers data. The percentage increase in the CPI between February 2023 and February 2024 was 2.4%.

Accordingly, fees for Del Paso Boulevard, Downtown Plaza, Franklin Boulevard, Old Sacramento, and Stockton Boulevard BIAs will increase by 2.4% effective July 1, 2024, as shown in the attached BIA Fee Schedule. The Sutter BIA fees do not increase annually because City Code chapter 3.106 does not provide an annual increase for inflation. The Del Paso Boulevard, Franklin Boulevard, Stockton Boulevard, and Old Sacramento BIA fees cannot exceed more than 10% annually while the Downtown Plaza BIA fees cannot exceed more than 5% annually.

The City collects the BIA fees at the time the Business Operations Tax is paid. The fees are then forwarded to the respective BIA Advisory Board authorized by Council to conduct activities and services for the BIA. The proposed BIA expenditures are fully fee supported.

Collection costs are supported by the City.

Detailed budgets for services and programs are included in the Report submitted by each of the Advisory Boards.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

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
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 24: 5 de Mayo -- $1,000
• August 6, 2024: National Night Out -- $2,000
• September 2024: Back to the Blvd: Car Cruise & Mexican Independence Day -- $5,000
• October 31, 2024: Trunk-or-Treat -- $500
• December 2024: 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.
