BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT {BID) UPDATE Ad Hoc Committee Member, Commissioner Rigoberto Rodriguez provided an update and review of the process to date, including the policy options and policy domains that had been presented, It was reiterated that the Commission's key mandate at this time was to prepare a budget proposal for 2005 and lay out a process for 2006. Each of the three budget scenario proposals, sources of funding, and ways in which the money should be used had been reviewed at the second Community Forum which was held on Tuesday, October 12, 2004, at the Santa Ana Performing Arts and Events Center. Pros and cons for each of the budget scenarios had been heard and discussed, and input was used to prepare swell-informed budget proposal that would equitably benefit all BID members, not just specific streets. Commissioner Turner arrived at 3:36 p.m. during the presentation. A copy of the draft Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District 2004 Annual Report and 2005 Budget was provided for each Commissioner. Commissioner Rodriguez discussed the CRHC BID Ad Hoc Committee Budget Recommendations for 2005 and provided the CRHC MINU7BS 3 OCTOBER 19, 2004 logic for each of the line items. Based on feedback from the Community f ~ Forums, public and Commission discussions, activities to fund for the 2005 Calendar year had been prioritized. In addition, it had been determined that an interim position would be recommended for this year, reducing the annual assessment to 25 percent of the formula stated for each business license category in the original '1984 ordinance. It was believed that a 25 percent assessment would not be a "drastic measure", but yet would provide some funds. Further research and investigation would be done before making a 2006 determination and recommendation. A lengthy discussion ensued. Each Commissioner offered hislher comments on the various elements and issues. Elsa Gomez, Downtown business owner and former DSABA treasurer, provided each Commissioner with copies of the 21 letters of petition that she had submitted at the Regular Meeting of October 5, 2004, which were addressed to Mayor Pulido requesting that the BID be dissolved. Ms. Gomez stated that she does agree with a proposed budget for maintenance; however, not with this BID. She thanked the Commissioners for their efforts and concerns, and offered numerous suggestions on additional questions to ask and issues to investigate. Ms. Gomez reiterated that the BID members have received no benefit, stated that she still protests the BID - at any assessment percentage, and again asked that it be dissolved.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (BID) UPDATE - {Pat Whitaker) Continued from the Special Meeting of April 28, 2005. • Meetings continue to be held with both areas of common interest. • Map has been formulated and approved by the two areas within the current BID district and circulated in anticipation of next year's BID. _ . . At this time, it is unknown if other groups will join the B1D next year. • Budget was clear in the other categories. However, groups still need to decide how they want to proceed with promotion funds. Pursuant to the budget Council adopted, City is moving forward and working with the groups to define exactly what they want to do with their budgeted funds for promotions. We do not expect any further formal action except for contracts that will be entered into on behalf of BID promotions or whatever else they choose to take on. • Moving forward in bringing in a consultant to work with the two areas of the BID to look into next year's BID in relations to the map approved by Downtown restaurants and loft areas as well as certain areas within Fourth Street. Work on next year's BID is just beginning based on the draft and initial map and retention of the consultant. • Unless we hear otherwise, the Commission will continua to be the BID Advisory Board for next year`s BID and can start working on the process. The timeline for the Commission to submit the budget would be around October, the same as last year. With assistance from staff and the consultant, the Commission would then present the budget to Council. Mr. Vigliotta informed the Commission that, hypothetically, if the groups decided to split the BiD into different areas or to create overlay zones, then an additional step of preparing an ordinance amendment would be required. This action would go to the Commission first and then to Council. CRHC MINUTSS 4 May 3, 2005 • Looking forward to finalizing the expenditure of this year's funds. • Mrs. Whitaker mentioned that Bill Manis is working closely with her as the new contact person in the Downtown Office and is the direct liaison with the Downtown businesses. • Commissioner Sarmiento inquired about the CUP's that were issued to some businesses in the Downtown at the Planning Commission meeting on the 25t~'. Mrs. Whitaker informed the Commission that this was a separate request by restaurants in the Downtown to be able to stay open later and provide entertainment and had nothing to do with the BID. • Commissioner Sarmiento also asked about the Cinco de Mayo event and whether any other events are being planned. Mrs. Whitaker explained that the Cinco de Mayo event was coordinated by the Downtown Office together with professional promoters. It was not associated with Fiesta. The only issue was that of huge motor homes brought by the sponsor members, which impacted the neighborhood. This will be taken into consideration when planning next year's event. Mrs, Whitaker also mentioned that some of the businesses in the group expressed interest in having a Fourth of July event and are working with Mike McCoy, S.A.P,D., and the Downtown Office. The Fiesta Market Place is a proponent of the Fourth of July event and is part of the planning. ~' Another upcoming event is Fiestas Patrias in September, which is sponsored by the City. Commissioners Macres inquired about the whereabouts of the 65 tables that the Downtown BID had previously purchased. Mrs. Whitaker will inquire as to their whereabouts and mentioned that the use of the tables is an issue of liability to the City and that the tables would probably not be allowed. Also, Mr. Macres inquired about the policy on steam cleaning in the Downtown area. Mrs. Whitaker will check with the Downtown Office to see what the policy is and report to the Commission.
