SUMMARY
The Downtown Chula Vista Property-Based Business Improvement District (PBID) was formed in 2001 to proactively implement a number of enhancement services and programs within the downtown core. Administered by Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA), the PBID was established to promote a cleaner, safer, and more attractive business district. The PBID was inaugurated for a five-year term beginning in 2001 and renewed in 2006 for an additional 10 years. In order to continue operation, the PBID must be renewed by June 2016 by a majority of returned property owner ballots via a weighted ballot process.
Prior to the official balloting process for the renewal of the PBID, TAVA is legally required to turn in a petition from property owners representing a majority of the total assessments to be paid (Attachment #1). The total annual assessment amount for the first year of the PBID is estimated to be $455,000; therefore the petitions must represent more than $227,500, of the total assessments. The City's petition will count toward this amount, since the City pays into the District. Staff is recommending the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the petition on behalf of the City.
