CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/6/2017 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Kellee Fritzal, Deputy Director, Business Development SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2017-51 declaring the City's Intention to Disestablish the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association Business Improvement District (BID); and, schedule a Public Hearing for December 4, 2017 Statement of Issue: On October 18, 2017, the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association voted to request the City Council dissolve the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association Business Improvement District (BID). To commence the process to dissolve the BID the City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 2017-15 declaring the City's intention to disestablish the Huntington Auto Dealers Association BID and schedule a Public Hearing for December 4, 2017. Financial Impact: On September 18, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-32 approving an Annual Assessment within the Huntington Beach Auto Dealer Business Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The disestablishment of the Auto Dealer BID would cancel the annual assessment from the ten (10) auto dealers (Fund 701) on January 17, 2018. Recommended Action: A) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-51, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring the City's Intention to Disestablish the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association Business Improvement District"; and, B) Direct the City Clerk to schedule a public hearing to be held on December 4, 2017, and send copies of the Resolution of Intention to Disestablish the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association Business Improvement District to each auto dealer and publish the same in a newspaper of general circulation. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve Resolution and direct staff as necessary. Analysis: On September 8, 1992, the City Council approved Ordnance 3175 which formed a business improvement area, known as the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association Business Improvement District (BID). The BID was established to provide the Auto Dealers an economic tool to help the dealers compete in a regional market and to assist with the electronic reader board. Item 13. - l HB -110- Dept. ID ED 17-26 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date: 11/6/2017 The Auto Dealers Association contacted the City via email on October 2, 2017, requesting the City dissolve the BID. The Auto Dealers Association stated that the economic development tool for the dealers is no longer required and they can sufficiently sustain their business plan and marketing goals without the BID. On October 18, 2017, a vote was conducted by the Huntington Beach Auto Dealers Association BID to disestablish the BID. A majority vote of 7-0-3 voted to request to the City Council the disestablishment of the Auto Dealers BID. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 2017-51 to disestablish the BID.

City of Huntington Beach HB Auto Dealers Association 200 Main Street Huntington Beach,'Ca 92648 cc.Lori Ann Farrell,Assistant City Manager The Honorable Michael Gates,City Attorney Kelly Fritzal,Deputy Director Business Development Dear Mr. Wilson,Honorable Mr.Gates,et al: The BID process was crafted to be a tool to help the HB Auto Dealers compete in our regional.market without being an Auto Mall like Cerritos, Ca. Those monthly assessments helped us fund an aggressive marketing campaign and allowing us to compete and survive for many years. Under the original Ordinance 3175,the City established the HB Auto Dealers Business Improvement District(BID) August 17, 1992,about 25 years ago, Those years of BID derived Assessments were valuable in building our brand and outreach programs. Again,it was a good economic development tool for the dealers,for that period. The Executive Committee of the HB Auto Dealers Association has recommended to the BID general membership a request to the city to dissolve the instruments that created our BID. We are now sufficient In our business plan and marketing plans to be self funded in our efforts to sustain our marketing goals. The details of our requested dissolution will fallow. We need to catch up with possible reimbursements and accounting issues to close out the 2016-17 Fiscal Year-We are anxious to do what is required rapidly and would like this effective on or about October 1,2017, As soon as our paperwork is complete,expected to be within 7 to 10 days,let's schedule a meeting to further perfect our request. As we move towards dissolving the BID. please conclude the process with any and all assets accumulated in the BID accounts to be settled via reimbursements as per the usual voucher package process. The current accounting is attached. Again,thank you all for the effective use of the BID tool and the great relations this partnership afforded both of us, We certainly became more familiar with most of the leaders in our local government, and the City was able to meet each of us on solid business terms. Sincerely, Bob Miller,VP/General Manager Toyota of HB President,HB Auto Dealers Assoc Advisory Board Chair: HB Auto Dealers BID Item 13. - 5 HB -114- Bid Accounting The BID Assets on October 1, 201.7 include: Assessment Money.Received by the City $ 2,600.00 Assessment Accounts Receivable due from Dealers Current 9,400.00 Past Due 7,520.00 Total Accounts Receivable 16,920.00 Total Assets $ 19,520.00 The Disposal Plan for BID Assets is that the BID will. dispose of all current assets and all future Bid Assessments collected by the City between now and the date of final dissolution by presenting to the city a voucher package of paid invoices by and/or on behalf of the BID for approved budgeted items.
