Description/Analysis
File ID: 2025-01432 9/9/2025
Issue Detail: California Streets and Highways Code section 36650 requires each BID to file an Annual Report (Report) with the City Clerk for Council approval. There are four BIDs in the City of Sacramento. These four Districts are the Central Midtown Restaurant (CMR), Handle, Sacramento Tourism Infrastructure District (STID), and the Sacramento Tourism Marketing District (STMD). The CMR and the Handle districts were formed with the intent to increase restaurant sales within the boundaries of those districts. The STID was formed to increase overnight tourism and the desirability of the Sacramento Convention Center as a tourist, meeting, and event destination. Assessments from the STID are used to pay debt service on the bonds or other obligations issued or incurred by the City for construction of the ballroom portion of the Sacramento Convention Center expansion.
The STMD was formed with the intention to increase tourism and market STMD lodging businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations.
The Owners’ Association of each BID has prepared an Annual Report (Report) for FY2025/26 detailing the proposed budgets, assessments, and services to be provided from the assessments for its respective BID.
The Reports for FY2025/26 do not propose any changes to the services provided by the BIDs, boundaries of the BIDs, basis for levying the assessments, or any other aspect of the BID Management District Plans (MDPs). Approval of the attached Resolutions will confirm the associated budget and assessment for each BID.
Policy Considerations: The actions in the recommended resolution are required by the Property and Business Improvement Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq.).
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: Administration of assessment districts does not constitute a project under CEQA because it involves continuing administrative or maintenance activities and organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. [14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(b)(2) & (5))].
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The goal of the BIDs is to provide services as specified in the Management District Plans (MDPs) that supplement services provided by the City. The MDPs are plans that provide guidance for the levy of assessments to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities that benefit businesses in that BID.
File ID: 2025-01432 9/9/2025
Financial Considerations: Financing for the CMR and the Handle districts is provided by the levy of assessments upon businesses that benefit from the improvements and services. Financing for the STID is provided by the levy of assessments upon lodging businesses within the STID that benefit from the Sacramento Convention Center expansion. Financing for the STMD is provided by the levy of assessments upon lodging businesses within the STMD boundaries that benefit from the improvements and services provided by the STMD. The CMRBID, the Handle BID, and the STMD do not plan to issue bonds. However, with the STID, the City issued bonds in the amount of $50.4 million for the Convention Center ballroom project, and STID assessment revenue is used to pay debt service on the bonds or other obligations issued or incurred by the City for the ballroom. The operating budget for these four BIDs fluctuates with market conditions and retail sales and is adjusted annually to reflect Council approved assessments and expenditure plans.
Based on the collected levies from FY2024/25, the total assessment budget for FY2025/26 is estimated to be $106,886 for the CMR BID and the total assessment budget is estimated to be $250,000 for the Handle BID. The total STID total assessment budget for FY2025/26 is anticipated to be approximately $3,956,604. Approximately 93.3% of the STID budget will be funded from revenues collected within the City ($3,691,511) and 6.7% from the unincorporated area of Sacramento County ($265,092). The STMD total assessment budget for FY2025/26 is estimated to be $10,285,000, with approximately 93.3% ($9,598,000) of the revenue collected from businesses within the City and approximately 6.7% from the unincorporated area of Sacramento County ($687,000).
Approximately $2,598 in City administration costs are collected each from the CMR and the Handle BIDs. For the STMD, 2% of the amount of assessments collected from businesses within the City is retained to cover the costs of the City’s collection and administration for the STMD. The County is also responsible for collecting assessments from businesses within the unincorporated County area and will remit 2% of the amount of the assessments collected to Visit Sacramento for FY2025/26. For the STID, the City and the County will be paid from assessment revenues not used for debt service payments to cover their costs of collection and administration. Budget details are provided in Exhibit B to the Resolution for each BID. The four BIDs are self-supporting and have no impact on the General Fund.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

BACKGROUND
A. The business owners within the boundaries of the Handle Business Improvement District No. 2016-04 (District) petitioned the City of Sacramento (City) to establish the District to provide services and improvements intended to increase restaurant and retail sales within the District.

2025/26 Annual Report
INTRODUCTION
The following review is the fourteenth
Handle District Annual Report since the creation
of the district in 2011 (the 2011/12 the report covered nine months of operations and assessment collections), and the ninth report since the renewal of the district in 2016. It is a year-end summary of the HBIDs’ activities and finances, and a preview of planned expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year. In addition to the financial overview, this report highlights ongoing programs and projects. The HBID has committed to a hands- on maintenance program, to supporting clean and safe projects and to exploring new improvement projects in the one-square-block district. The district is scheduled to start the renewal process in early 2026.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Management District Plan (MDP) -
the MDP is the governing plan for the Handle
District. It outlines the assessment methodology and collection details. Originally approved by Sacramento City Council in the Summer 2011, it was updated in 2012 to provide additional clarification. In 2016, the district was renewed as a “restaurant” only district, consisting of 18 food establishments (note: the number of establishments is subject to change).
Assessment - The 18 food and beverage establishments in the Handle (at the time of this report two locations are transitioning to new businesses) collect 1.5% on each food purchase (excluding alcohol). The organization sends assessment information to each new business operator monthly, with periodic updates, reminders and overviews to the businesses each year.
Assessment Collection and Accounting Practices – in early 2024 the HBID board, in partnership with the City of Sacramento’s Revenue Division, re-vamped the assessment collection and remittance process. The City, who has collected assessment remittances since the inception of the district, assumed additional responsibilities with respect to collections. The Handle organization contracts with a professional accountancy team for daily monitoring and oversight, this also includes the preparation of an annual tax return for the organization. Accounting information, including budgets, expenditures and balances, are available for review by any Handle business or interested party. Financial decisions are made at publicly noticed Board of Directors meetings held on the third Wednesday of every other month.
2025/26 Budget - the organization’s budget coincides with the calendar year. A draft of annual budget is reviewed at two consecutive meetings in the fall, with final approval at a November or December Board of Director’s meeting. The initial estimate of Exhibit A
1717 Capitol Avenue – Sacramento, CA 95811
(Page Two – 2025/26 Handle Annual Report) assessments to be collected, as outlined Management District Plan, was $200,000/year. This total has fluctuated over the past eight years, in particular during the pandemic years. For the upcoming budget year we estimate the collected and remitted assessments will be about $260,000 (based on 2023-2025 data). In 2022 the district was awarded a $100,000 County of Sacramento ARPA grant to support additional services during the pandemic. The grant funds were used to partially replenish reserves and project funds that supported the Al Fresco program in 2021 and 2022. A more detailed breakdown of the budget allocations, by category, is below. Note: the Handle’s Board-approved, annual budget shows additional program details (line items) not listed below. The annual budget process is a good opportunity to gather input, share information and review improvement programs. Reserves - The Handle has approximately $250,000 in reserve funds. These funds have accumulated over the past few budget cycles and have historically been used to pay for higher cost improvement projects (lighting, trash cans, etc.). The Board will be made two large purchases in 2024, including a $45,000 purchase of new trash cans.
PROGRAMS The organization continues to develop new programs to benefit HBID restaurants. With the adoption of the new district in 2016, marketing, events and promotion programs became a higher priority. Although many of the larger events have not been scheduled since the pandemic (the Dress Up – Wine Down event successfully returned in Spring 2024), the Board continues to support events in the district, from St. Baldricks, Oktoberfest, Second Saturday and the Sacramento Walk of Stars, to special events hosted by businesses (movie nights, makers markets, etc.).
1717 Capitol Avenue – Sacramento, CA 95811
(Page Three – 2024/25 Handle Annual Report) Maintenance - the maintenance crew is very active in the district during the week and is one of the most popular services for businesses in the Handle (trash pickup, special event support, graffiti abatement, sidewalk power washing and other maintenance services). Advocacy - the organization continues to advocate for and promote a number of local efforts, including lighting improvements, pedestrian safety projects, parking enhancements, community events and other projects that positively impact Midtown and the HBID. PROJECTS The HBID (and partners) coordinates an attractive streetlight (pole) banner program, installs and maintains 40 hanging flower baskets, services six pet waste bag dispensers and 16 custom trash cans. We started an alley beautification project in late 2019, but it was put on hold in 2020. We continue to dedicate resources to helping maintain the Liestal Alley. In 2025 the Board initiated an effort to install street bollards on Capitol Avenue for future events. The Handle continues to add bike racks and corrals (more than 75 bike parking spaces are now in the district - a one square block area) and we have been closely monitoring and advocating for a number of pedestrian safety projects. The organization’s internet presence and social media programs continue to flourish, with 10,000 followers. The district circulates high quality informational and promotional materials each year to new property owners in midtown. A “district successes” report was prepared in 2021, and updated in 2022 and 2023, it highlights activities in the district over the past ten years (it is available upon request). The Handle Al Fresco (AF) project became the organization’s top priority from 2020-2022 and the commitment continues to this day. More than $350,000.00 has been contributed by the Handle District. Please contact Seann Rooney, Executive Director at (916) 765-5052 or by email at [email protected] for more information on programs and projects. Sincerely, Jimmy Johnson, President, Board of Directors (Co-owner, Zocalo)
