WHAT IS A BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT?
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 (Downtown HB), to serve as
the District's Advisory Board. The Downtown HB acts to administer and
manage activities and funding outlined in the ordinance and resolutions
establishing the District. Downtown HB consists of a volunteer Board
of Directors and administrative staff to support the goals of
providing communication, marketing, and coordination of the Downtown HB's
work.

MAINTENANCE
REVIEW
The Public Works department and Downtown Huntington Beach have an ongoing
maintenance agreement. 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.

ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The primary purpose of the Ambassador program is to establish a positive rapport and visible presence among
business owners, patrons and visitors in Downtown during peak season, holidays and special events. The
program's overarching goal is to create an environment whee all visitors can enjoy their time in Downtown
Huntington Beach. The ambassadors communicate through Whats App.
The Ambassador program, funded by Downtown Huntington Beach Assessments and Visit Huntington Beach,
has proven to be a valuable asset to the District.
• Regular Patrolling - The Ambassadors patrol the District, maintaining a visible presence and establishing
rapport with individuals in the community.
• Observation and Reporting - The Ambassadors observe and report any potential safety concerns,
disturbances or other incidents in the area.
• Collaboration with HBPD - The Ambassadors worked closely with HBPD Downtown to address safety-
related matters effectively.
• Assistance and Guidance - The Ambassadors provide assistance and guidance to visitors,answering
questions, providing directions and offering recommendations for local attractions and services.
The Ambassadors' commitment to safety, community engagement, and collaboration with HBPD has made a
positive impact the District.
ENHANCED MAINTENANCE
The Downtown District is a hub for both locals and visitors, especially during peak seasons and major events.
Downtown Huntington Beach takes proactive measures to ensure a welcoming atomsphere and to ensure
cleanliness. Funds are allocated for additional services during events and peak seasons to cover the difference
between the City of Huntington Beach MOU and the current maintenance contract. Providing a positive and
memorable experience for all attendees is essential and reinforces the Districts' reputation as a vibrant and
welcoming destination.
HOLIDAY BEAUTIFICATION
The District is transformed during the holiday seasons with the addition of enchanted lighting and snowflakes
above Main Street. The true star of the show is the decorated tree on the second block of Main Street which
serves as the heart of the holiday magic and drawing the community and visitors together.

ACTiVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
MARKETING
Marketing and Events have been instrumental in promoting and shaping the story of the Downtown District.
Our strategic approach to marketing, which includes utilizing variousrommunication channels and organizing
community events, has allowed us to engagetakeholders effectively and establish a strong brand identity for
Downtown Huntington Beach.Assessment Fees are used for advertising and marketing programs, including
website, socialmedia and email outreach.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Community Events such as the HB4TH of July Block Party, Surf City Spooktacular, and
Magic on Main Street have become highly anticipated annual gatherings. These events have not only increased
exposure but have also created memorable experiences, engaged oulcommunity, and enhanced the Downtown
Huntington Beach brand.
CRM
In FY 2022-2023, The Huntington Beach City Council recommended that Downtown Huntington Beach adopt
a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) program. The CRM serves as a tool for the
organization's stability and longevity which benefits all stakeholders. The benefits of implementing this include:
• Data centralization, encompassing contact information, communication history and other pertinent
details. This comprehensive view of customer data guarantees up-to-date
information enabling the organization to identify and address potential issues proactively before they
escalate.
• Improved stakeholder relationships are facilitated by a central database that provides a better
understanding of their needs and preferences which enables more personalized interactions.
Efficient marketing campaigns, empowered by tailored marketing messages that are specifically
• targeted at distinct stakeholder groups leads to heightened engagement.
Downtown Huntington Beach is leveraging Monday.com for their CRM, a tool they have already been using
effectively for project management.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Monthly financial services by a third party CPA, bank fees, and QuickBooks have streamlined our financial
operations and enhanced transparency.

THE ANNUAL
ASSESSMENT PROCESS
The District's Advisory Board, Downtown Huntington Beach is required to prepare an annual report to
be submitted to the Huntington Beach City Clerk. The annual report contains a proposed work plan, a
detailed budget for the upcoming year,a summary of accomplishments and the following information:
• Proposed changes in the boundaries of the parking and business improvement areas or in any of the
benefit zones within the area in FY 2024-2025 (no proposed changes)
• Improvements and activities to be provided for FY 2024-2025 (page 11)
• The estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for
FY 2024-2025 (page 11)
• Method and basis of levying the assessment for FY 2024-2025 (page 4&5,under BID member
Overview and Assessment Chart)
• Amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from previous year(page 20)Amount
• of additional contributions to be made from sources other than assessments(page 20.)
The annual assessment process requires City actions,including two City Council meetings,where the City
Council must adopt resolutions approving the assessment for the upcoming year.
1st City Council Meeting(Tuesday, September 3rd)
• Presentation of the FY 2024-2025 Annual Report and proposed budget and action by Council on a
Resolution of Intention to levy assessments
Public Notice
• Publish Resolution of Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment in a newspaper(at least 7 days prior to
the public hearing)
2nd City Council Meeting(Tuesday,October 1st)
• Public hearing on the annual assessment and to receive protests against levy of assessments and
Council action confirming the levy of assessments
At or before the public hearing, all members of the District and public are welcome to protest the annual
assessment. Each protest vote is weighted based on the amount of the assessment paid by the business. 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.

ACT1V1IES AND IMPROVEMENTS
AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The primary purpose of the Ambassador program is to establish a positive rapport and visible presence among
business owners, patrons and visitors in Downtown during peak season, holidays and special events. The
program's overarching goal is to create an environment whee all visitors can enjoy their time in Downtown
Huntington Beach. The ambassadors communicate through Whats App.
The Ambassador program, funded by Downtown Huntington Beach Assessments and Visit Huntington Beach,
has proven to be a valuable asset to the District.
• Regular Patrolling - The Ambassadors patrol the District, maintaining a visible presence and establishing
rapport with individuals in the community.
• Observation and Reporting - The Ambassadors observe and report any potential safety concerns,
disturbances or other incidents in the area.
• Collaboration with HBPD - The Ambassadors worked closely with HBPD Downtown to address safety-
related matters effectively.
• Assistance and Guidance - The Ambassadors provide assistance and guidance to visitors,answering
questions, providing directions and offering recommendations for local attractions and services.
The Ambassadors' commitment to safety, community engagement, and collaboration with HBPD has made a
positive impact the District.
ENHANCED MAINTENANCE
The Downtown District is a hub for both locals and visitors, especially during peak seasons and major events.
Downtown Huntington Beach takes proactive measures to ensure a welcoming atomsphere and to ensure
cleanliness. Funds are allocated for additional services during events and peak seasons to cover the difference
between the City of Huntington Beach MOU and the current maintenance contract. Providing a positive and
memorable experience for all attendees is essential and reinforces the Districts' reputation as a vibrant and
welcoming destination.
HOLIDAY BEAUTIFICATION
The District is transformed during the holiday seasons with the addition of enchanted lighting and snowflakes
above Main Street. The true star of the show is the decorated tree on the second block of Main Street which
serves as the heart of the holiday magic and drawing the community and visitors together.

Our strategic approach to marketing, which includes utilizing various;ommunication channels and organizing
community events, has allowed us to engagetakeholders effectively and establish a strong brand identity for
Downtown Huntington Beach.Assessment Fees are used for advertising and marketing programs, including
website, socialmedia and email outreach.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Community Events such as the HB4TH of July Block Party, Surf City Spooktacular, and
Magic on Main Street have become highly anticipated annual gatherings. These events have not only increased
exposure but have also created memorable experiences, engaged ourcommunity, and enhanced the Downtown
Huntington Beach brand.
CRM
In FY 2022-2023, The Huntington Beach City Council recommended that Downtown Huntington Beach adopt
a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) program. The CRM serves as a tool for the
organization's stability and longevity which benefits all stakeholders. The benefits of implementing this include:
• Data centralization, encompassing contact information, communication history and other pertinent
details. This comprehensive view of customer data guarantees up-to-date
information enabling the organization to identify and address potential issues proactively before they
escalate.
• Improved stakeholder relationships are facilitated by a central database that provides a better
understanding of their needs and preferences which enables more personalized interactions.
Efficient marketing campaigns, empowered by tailored marketing messages that are specifically
• targeted at distinct stakeholder groups leads to heightened engagement.
Downtown Huntington Beach is leveraging Monday.com for their CRM, a tool they have already been using
effectively for project management.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Monthly financial services by a third party CPA, bank fees, and QuickBooks have streamlined our financial
operations and enhanced transparency.
