Issue Detail: Property owners within the Downtown Sacramento area have proposed to renew the Downtown Sacramento Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) for a ten-year term. The previous renewal was approved by Council on April 23, 2015, for a ten-year term, which expires on December 31, 2025. The renewed PBID will continue to provide maintenance, guides, downtown resource coordinators, private security, events, streetscape improvement projects, community relations, business development, advocacy, and community engagement services and activities to promote the area as clean, safe, vibrant, and welcoming.
The total PBID assessment budget for the first year of this renewal will be approximately $5,920,808.91. The service area includes approximately 585 assessed parcels. The City owns parcels within the PBID (see accompanying Resolution, Exhibit A) that have been assessed since the PBID’s formation and have benefitted from the PBID services. City staff is thus recommending that the City-owned parcels continue to be included as assessed parcels in the renewed PBID. To support

renewal of the PBID, staff recommends that Council delegate to the City Manager or City Manager’s designee the authority to sign the property owner’s petition and assessment ballot on behalf of the City property that is located within the PBID.
Policy Considerations: The proceedings under which the PBID is proposed to be renewed are set forth in California Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq., referred to as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.”
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: This report concerns administrative activities and governmental fiscal activities that do not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and Section 15378(b)(5). The proposed action in this report is therefore not a “project” subject to the provisions of CEQA (CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3)).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended action authorizes the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to sign the property owner’s petition and assessment ballot in the affirmative on behalf of the City property that is located within the PBID.
Financial Considerations: If the PBID is renewed, the City will continue to participate as a property owner, with the City paying a total assessment of $1,208,367 in the first year of the renewal period for City-owned properties in the PBID. Future increases in the PBID’s assessment rates are capped at 5% annually. Assessment payments would continue to be funded by General/Measure U funds.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
RESOLUTION NO.

DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER OR THE CITY MANAGER’S
DESIGNEE AS THE SIGNATURE AUTHORITY FOR CITY-OWNED
PROPERTY IN THE RENEWED DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO
PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 2025-01
BACKGROUND:
A. The Downtown Sacramento Property and Business Improvement District (DSPBID) was initially established in 1995 for a five year term under the PBID Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. On April 23, 2015, the DSPBID was renewed for a ten-year term from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2025.
B. The property owners have now proposed renewal of the DSPBID for a ten-year term from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2025.
C. City-owned parcels have been assessed under the DSPBID since its formation.
The City currently owns 67 parcels within the DSPBID. The City-owned parcels will have a total annual assessment of approximately $1,208,366.57 for the first year of the renewal term. Future assessment rates may be subject to an increase of no more than five (5%) annually.
D. City staff recommends that the City-owned parcels be included as assessed parcels in the renewed DSPBID because the City properties have thus far benefitted from the DSPBID’s services. Staff is thus seeking Council authorization for the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to sign the property owner’s petition and assessment ballot for the City-owned parcels in favor of renewal for the DSPBID.
