TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record; conclude the public hearing; conduct majority protest proceedings; and determine whether to adopt the resolution amending the Management Plan for the Downtown Long Beach Property and Business Improvement District.  (Districts 1,2)
 
DISCUSSION
The Downtown Long Beach Property and Business Improvement District (DLB-PBID)
assesses property owners for expenses related to security, maintenance, public
relations, special projects, advocacy and economic development in Downtown Long
Beach. The DLB-PBID was established by the City Council on August 4, 1998. On July
22, 2003, City Council again re-established the DLB-PBID. This required a majority
vote of the property owners in favor of re-establishing the district for a new term of ten
years.
The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Law) requires that
changes to the DLB-PBID Management Plan be subject to public hearing, protest
proceedings and Council approval. On June 15, 2005, the Downtown Long Beach
Associates (DLBA) Board of Directors approved removal of Section VI, Governance,
from the Management Plan. The Law does not require governance issues be
addressed in the Management Plan. DLB-PBID governance will now be addressed
solely in the DLBA bylaws. The revised Management Plan is provided as Exhibit A to
the attached resolution.
At its September 6, 2005 meeting, the City Council approved Resolution No. 05-0081
declaring its intention to amend the Management Plan and setting the public hearing
date for September 20, 2005. Commercial property owners in DLB-PBID were mailed a
copy of this resolution on September 13, 2005. Publication of the resolution was not
required.
This action has no effect on other annual reports or approvals. Approval of the 2006
DLB-PBID assessment will be brought to Council in November, 2005.
This letter was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Heather Mahood on June 13, 2005,
Budget Management Officer David Wodynski on September 9, 2005, and the City
Treasurer's Office on September 12,2005.
