BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At a meeting of October 15, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-179 declaring its intention to establish Lodi Business Improvement Area No. 1 and setting public hearing/public meeting dates for November 5, 1997 and December 3, 1997 to consider the matter. Notice of the public hearing/public meeting was accomplished by posting the Resolution of Intention (ROI) at three public areas (Lodi Public Library, Lodi Police Public Safety Building & Lodi City Hall Lobby), by publishing the resolution in the Lodi News Sentinel and by mailing a complete copy of the ROI to each business owner in the proposed district. The purpose of the public hearing is for the City Council to hear and consider all testimony, for or against, the establishment of the Area. Matters concerning the boundaries of the Area, the areas of benefit within the Area and the Assessments to be levied will also be heard. A protest against the Area, or any aspect of it may be made orally or in writing. An oral protest shall be made at the public hearing. If at the conclusion of the public hearing there are of record, written protests by the owners of the businesses within the Area that will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the total assessments of the entire Area, no further proceedings to create the Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area shall occur. At the time of the writing of this report, no written protests against establishment of the district have been received. As a matter of discussion, two additional issues related to funding and general operation of the Area should be considered by Council. They are as follows: 1. That the City of Lodi Finance Department assumes the responsibility for the billing of the BIA assessments. The BIA budget will be conducted on a calendar year basis. After a period of 30-45 days, the total funds collected and all unpaid assessment bills would be turned over to the BIA Board for further action. Staff has met with Finance Director, Vicky McAthie, and recommends that fees be billed once per year by separate billing in January of each year. Staff is also recommending that no set-up or finance charges be levied in the initial years of BIA operation. Detailed "Guidelines for Collection" are currently being drafted by the Finance Department for future review and approval. APPROVED: WD on Flynn -- ity Manager, Public Hearing to establish "Lodi Business Improvement Area No. 1' November 5, 1997 Page 2 2. That the City of Lodi provide a matching fund subsidy, through the Economic Development Department budget, in order to help "kick start" the BIA formation and operation. Staff recommends a dollar for dollar match, not to exceed $40,000 for 2 years; thus allowing the organization sufficient time in which to generate additional revenues through special events and fund raising promotions. These subsidies may also allow the BIA the opportunity of employing a part time coordinator to market the downtown as well as plan/coordinate the special events. The Lodi Downtown Business Improvement Area projected budget for the first year is estimated at $40,000. In assessed revenues the City's match would then be equal to the BIA's annual assessed revenues or $40,000. FUNDING: $40,000 (Community Promotions --'97-'99 Financial Plan & Budget, Page D-96) Vicky McAthie, inance Director Respectfully Submitted, Tony C. eh ' g Economic Development Coordinator Attachments In regards to the Resolution of Intention to Establish the Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area No. 1, the City Clerk's office did the following: • Mailed Resolution No. 97-179 (Exhibit A) entitled, "A Resolution of the Lodi City Council Declaring Its Intention to Establish the Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area" to 274 property owners (mailing list attached as Exhibit B) on October 16, 1997; • Posted Resolution No. 97-_179 at the Lodi Public Library, Lodi Police Public Safety Building and Lodi City HallLobby on October 16, 1997; • Advertised Resolution No. 97-179 in the Lodi News Sentinel on October 20, 1997, October 21, 1997, October 22, 1997, October 23, 1997, October 24, 1997, October 25, 1997 and October 27, 1997.

The resolution continues to state that if at the conclusion of the public hearings there are of record, written protest by the owners of the businesses within th. Area that will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the total assessments of the entire Area, no further proceedings to create the Downtown Lo Business Improvement Area shall occur. 'ibis letter is written to voice our written protest against the establishment of the BIA. We are against the establishment of the area for a number of various reasons. But a few of the reasons are stated below: Even though this is called an assessment. What ever you want to call it, it is an extra tax to us. We rpparently have no choice, if establishek: We have enough tax and restrictions on our business already. We chose to become an small independent business owner for a reason, to be "independent". We don't like the fact that we have to pay the same rate as a business on School Street. If School Street businesses had a higher rate than u,_ eve may reconsider the district But no matter what you tell me, a business on a side street does not benefit as much as a business directly or School Street. Do you know that when we were assessed for the improvements that were made downtown, we paid the same rate as a busin_ on School Street, although we did not get new sidewalks or the paving stones on the streets. All we got was a new light and tree, and much less parking for customers (which we have heard many complaints of). And our business volume has decreased 35% since construction star: in March. WOW. To promote holiday themes does not benefit us at all. The only holiday that gives a customer a reason to buy new flooring is the Thanksgiving -Christmas holidays. People do not buy new flooring for Mother's Day, Back -To -School. etc. It is too late for our business wt. the downtown promotions are put on for the Thanksgiving -Christmas holidays. The majority of our flooring jobs that are done for these holidays are booked in October, because most people want their new flooring in by Thanksgiving. They do not want their home to be torn u - over the holidays. So the big After Thanksgiving promotions do not benefit us. I could go on for pages with reasons why we are against this. But for your benefit, I will cut it short- And one last thing, the promotion "Shc Downtown Lodi" is a farce. How many councilmen or the city of Lodi make it a point to shop Downtown Lodi, or even Lodi at all. They don't. and we could see it during the down construction, and who was doing the actual work. This is a real sore subject for us. Sincerely. Connie J. Riggs, Ronald Riggs, Co -Owner Co -Owner Encl. cc:Councilmen Land, Mann. Sieglock & Warner itt�:) E-iLk_ • CITY OF LODI P. O.
