MEMORANDUM
August 27, 1987
TO: Manager Flodstrom, Mayor Whidden, Council Members
FROM: Administrative Services Department
RE: Amending Parking & Business Improvement Area Ordinance
ISSUE
Should Council adopt an amended Parking and Business Improvement
Area Ordinance?
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS
When the City initially established the Downtown Parking and Business
Improvement Area, an agreement was made with the Downtown Association
to include a one -time $100 special assessment for new businesses
locating within the PBIA. However, Ordinance No. 2351, establishing
the PBIA, does not provide for such an assessment. In order to assess
the fee agreed upon between the Downtown Association and the City,
the PBIA Ordinance needs to be amended.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend at the end of the public hearing the Council adopt the
attached Ordinance for the purpose of amending Ordinance No. 2351
to include the one -time special assessment of $100.
