SUMMARY AND OUTCOME
Approval of this action will result in the levy of assessments for the upcoming fiscal year of the Tully Road Eastridge Business Improvement District (TREBID).
BACKGROUND
The TREBID was established by City Council in 2024 pursuant to the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (BID Law) to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of the Tully Road Eastridge business corridor.
City Council appointed the Tully Road and Eastridge Business Association (TREBA) as the Advisory Board for the TREBID, to advise City Council on the levy of assessments in the district, and the expenditure of revenues derived from the assessments for the benefit of the district. The TREBID boundary map is shown in Attachment A - TREBID Boundary Map.
Pursuant to BID Law, an annual public hearing is required to approve an annual budget report and levy the annual assessments. On May 19, 2026, the City Council COUNCIL AGENDA: 6/2/26
FILE: 26-661
ITEM: 8.2
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
May 11, 2026
Subject: Public Hearing on the Tully Road Eastridge Business Improvement District and Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
preliminarily approved the TREBID Budget Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (Budget Report) as filed by the Advisory Board and shown in Attachment B, adopted a resolution of intention to levy the annual assessments for FY 2026-2027 for the TREBID, and set June 2, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., as the date and time for the required public hearing on the levy of the proposed FY 2026-2027 assessments. In accordance with BID Law, the City Clerk published the required legal notice regarding the levy of assessments for FY 2026-2027.
ANALYSIS
Under BID Law, when a public hearing is held to levy assessments of a BID, City Council shall hear and consider all protests on the continued authorization of the BID, the extent of the area, the assessments, and the furnishing of specified types of improvements or activities. Protests may be made orally or in writing. Written protests must be filed with the City Clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. BID Law also requires that the proceedings shall terminate if protests made in writing against the continued authorization of the BID are from businesses or property owners in the proposed district that will pay a majority of the assessed charges. If the majority protest is only against the furnishing of a specified type of improvement or activity within the area, those improvements or activities shall be eliminated.
As required by BID Law, the Budget Report has been filed with the City Clerk and contains, among other things, a list of the improvements and activities proposed to be provided in the TREBID in FY 2026-2027, and an estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and activities. The Advisory Board has recommended no change in the TREBID boundaries or the method and basis for levying assessments. Therefore, the proposed assessments in the TREBID for FY 2026-2027, described in the Budget Report, are the same as the assessments for FY 2025-2026.
During the course of or upon the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the Advisory Board’s Budget Report. At the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the Budget Report as originally filed or as modified by City Council. The adoption of the resolution constitutes the levy of the assessment for FY 2026-2027.
EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
The Advisory Board will come before City Council in May 2027 to present a report that proposes a budget for FY 2027-2028.

FISCAL IMPACTS
Adoption of the proposed TREBID budget does not directly impact City revenue. The FY 2026-2027 Proposed Operating Budget, subject to City Council approval, includes projected assessment revenue and corresponding expenses totaling $160,000, as detailed in the Source and Use Statement for the Business Improvement District Fund (Fund 351).
The City will charge an administrative fee to collect the TREBID assessment. The City’s administrative fee will be one percent of the assessments collected by the City, and the amount will be reviewed annually as part of the annual report submitted by the Advisory Board to the City. The administrative fee will be made to the City as a deduction from the assessments the City will forward to the TREBID.

This memorandum has been coordinated with the City Attorney's Office, City Clerk's Office, City Manager's Budget Office, Finance Department, Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement Department, and TREBA.
