A Business Improvement District or BID is an area where business owners collectively agree to pay assessments to fund improvements and activities that benefit the district. In partnership with the downtown business owners, the Huntington Beach City Council formed a city program called the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (District) in 2004 by approving ordinance No. 3661. One goal of establishing the District was to strengthen and improve the visitor experience in the downtown business district. In 2008, City Council appointed a non-profit organization, the HB Downtown Business Improvement District (HB Downtown), to serve as the District's Advisory Board. The HB Downtown acts to administer and manage activities and funding outlined in the ordinance and resolutions establishing the District. HB Downtown consists of a volunteer Board of Directors and administrative staff to support the goals of providing communication, marketing, and coordination of the HB Downtown's work. : 4.r n - ,.

The initial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)was established back in 2013, with a total value of$154,000. Presently, efforts are underway to update this agreement. However, the costs associated with the maintenance contract have surpassed the originally stipulated amount in the MOU. To address these supplementary expenses, the Public Works department has formally requested additional funding. Below is a breakdown of the supplementary funding provided by the Public Works department over the past five years: • 2023-2024: $44,000 • 2022-2023: $44,000 • 2021-2022: $34,430 • 2020-2021: $34,430 • 2019-2020: $34,430 • 2018-2019: $8,000 In the year 2022, a decision was reached to eliminate the administrative fee that was previously incorporated within the agreement. Instead, these funds were redirected to cover the current maintenance contract costs. Downtown Huntington Beach designates funds earmarked for specific purposes related to enhanced maintenance. These funds can be utilized to bridge the gap between the actual maintenance expenses and the amount specified in the existing MOU. Downtown Huntington Beach has also allocated additional funds specifically for the purpose of hiring more porters within the Downtown during events such as the 4th of July, US Open of Surfing and the Pacific Air Show. This proactive measure is intended to enhance the overall upkeep and functionality of the district during these events. 2 0 2 4-2 0 2 5 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 6 MAINTENANCE SIDEWALK CLEANING MAP , ., • sw4tt% ,,, . zr ,. ..e , . ,,i-. - ,. , • • . no \,,,/, 4 0, MI --AlL—a" •A,,,.' !IiI , „ 46.,A ,,*,.• /II 731 4.,,,, /..;e•AIL* 4,,w W ahtltki 4,4 in _an_,Iii 1/) , 111111 wrrin .., NV 1411, ,&IIV 4&511'e c4niii ...21,_ • ‘• & WM ''' 4 V 11VAIV A 771 ...i. 7)3 as 7:14 E ctt '— MIT= in I..

If the City receives written protests totaling 50% or more of the total assessment,the assessment will not be levied for that year. Even if there is not an assessment for a particular year, the Downtown BID remains, and the annual process to levy the assessment will start over in the next year. 2024-2025 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 23 PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS How can I provide Public Hearing Comments For or Against the Assessment? At the annual public hearing,all members of the District and the public are welcome to speak to the City Council regarding the annual assessment.A protest against the levy assessment may be: • made orally or in writing • made at the public hearing;however,in order to count in calculating whether businesses paying 50%or more of the proposed assessments are against the assessment,a protest must be in writing and received before the public hearing Each written protest must be received by the City Clerk no later than the public hearing.Written protest against the benefit assessments to be levied may be: • mailed to the City Clerk of the City of Huntington Beach at 2000 Main Street,Huntington Beach, California 92648 • emailed to juan.esquivel@surfcity-hb.org(Assistant City Clerk)with the subject line: Downtown BID Assessment Protest submitted to the City Clerk before the public hearing Each written protest must be filed by a District business owner and signed by the person shown on the official records of the City as being the owner or designated agent of that business. For purposes of District protests, the official records are the City business license database. If the person signing the protest is not shown on the official records of the City of Huntington Beach as the owner of the business, then the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person is the designated agent for the corporation or entity. A written protest may be withdrawn from record at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. If there are a large number of written protests submitted on a timely basis, the City Council has the option to close the public hearing and then continue the matter to its next regularly scheduled meeting to allow for a thorough counting of the submitted written protests. If written protests have been timely submitted by the owners of the businesses within the District that will pay fifty percent(50%) or more of the total assessments of the entire District, then no further proceedings to levy the assessments shall occur for the FY 2024-2025 year and any new proceedings to levy assessments shall not be undertaken again for a period of at least one (1) year from the date of the finding of the 50% or more written protest by the City Council. If the 50%or more written protest is only as to an improvement or activity proposed in the annual report, then that type of improvement or activity shall not be included in the upcoming year. 2024-2025 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 24 Exhibit B : Map of the District, Assessment Schedule, and Businesses to be Assessed Resolution No. 2024-41 Exhibit "B" DISTRICT BOUNDARY MAP FY 2024-2025 �� ' 4„ m a'•e p I m � p� Trnnu Franklnrt Ave o 8 .2o i1• 9 r Pon i qyn pia White Sand ln_ 'v Ism o. iL�� 4�„ Elmira Avey r o ,_ ��q e n m` 4. 4�e `o n .2 Coral Ln ' \A' b`~ Daiwa Ave T y ..1 .4 glue Fin Mann mg O Pat ') Chicago Ave Mermaid v/age m c Shell Ca. u n` '9� Bay Dr �a la c n�,", ''"''' r'S' n Baltimore Ave N k y c' 7 1 O a o Beachcomber Dr by l; v 'e9 — ----- Atlanta Ave rete ay tie H _ Le clr m in �k ^bg w A 3 v _ - �.
