BACKGROUND
About PBIDs
The Property and Business Improvement Darrint (PBID) has became a common tool for Downtown
revitalization throughout the U.S. and in Caldomia cities both large and small. Through a PBID, property
owners pal their resources, talents, and energy to address the unique needs of a defined area. PBID
revenues generated through special assessments on property are expanded in sacraments with an adopted
business plan, pursuant to contract with an existing or newly fanned nonpmfit PBID management entity
The state is We with examples of successful downtowns where a PBID has played a major role in revitalization.
Approximately 80 PBIDs exist In California, most of Idem in Downtown areas. PBIDs are found In all of the
slate's largest urban areas, Including the downtowns of comparably sized cities such as Sacramento, San
Jose, Stockton, and Long Beach. PBIDs have also been an Important component of revitalization in
downtowns asnearby as Visalia. Exhibit D provides reference data on PBID formation In several other
Callfani etas. Across North America, similar contirols exist in over 1,000 places.
PBIDs prowde two fundamental benefits to the downtowns they serve. The more tangible of these is the
serviws and improvements the districts are able to provide. PEEI can be used for services ranging from
economic development to greater cleanliness to enhanced safety, or for physical improvements such a$
signage or equals Improvement. The scope of services provided In any PBID Is a function of the assessment
level supported by the property owners, and the business plan the owners adopt to guide the use of funds.
The less tangible, but equally important, benefit of a PBID Is the effect of uniting progeny owners in a common
purpose. In virtually every successfully revitalized downtown In America, some organization has emerged to
exercise strong leadership, aroposa , and management of the downtown revitalization el with the capacity
to marshal the areas private sector resources In an effective, coherent way, In many instances this role is
naturally filled by the PBID management organization.
A PBID for Downtown Fresno
The functions of a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) are an ideal match far the needs of
Downtown Fresno at this early stage of revitalization. Fresno's existing downtown business -based Business
Improvement District (or BID, a district formed through older state legislation that allows for a surcharge on
business licensed, assesses ground -floor retail merchants along the Fulton Mall and in the Central Business
District area, and generates only up to approximately $38,080 per year (less In recant years). Property owners
are not a party to this assessment and have no designated place on the board of the Downtown Association of
Fresno, the organization that receives and manages the businessbasedBID revenues.
Because the Downtown Association's assessed membership Is so limned, both geographically antl by type of
user, the existing business based BID does not effectively perform me vital role of uniting business and
any owners in a common purpose. While many property owners are engaged In individual efforts to make
mown Fresno successful, there Is no obvious structure for these owners to pool their resources, talents,
energy to deliver the services and improvements that will collectively improve their propady values over
Insufficient BID revenues preclude the Downtown Association from undertaking the range of projects, services,
and policy advocacy needed to support the long-term revitalization of the area. The lack of resources has and
to a downward spiral of low stakeholder expectations of to organization, lower membership interest, and more
limited and volatile revenue to support ongoing capacity needs. The flaws in this financing and governance
dructure stymie the best efforts of the committed, talented individuals involved.
Taking into account these and other liabililies, along with Downtown Fresno's many strengths and
opportunities, a panel of experts from the International Downtown Association provided a sal W
recommendations tar Fresno in June 2006. The panel recommended a sal W'Msible" accomplishments In the
short tarts— many of which are now underway— leading to formation of a PBID to keep downtown
management and advocacy moving forward over time.
City of Fresno support
On June 19, 2007, the City Council directed staff to set aside $40,000 in contingency to support the study and
formation of a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) in Downtown Fresno. These funds weresat
aside to be available on a matching basis. On February 26, 200$ the Council approved a resolution
authorizing the expend i of $15,000 from this reserve to fund tee International Downtown Association (IDA)
Panel which came and provided the recommendations described above for Fresno In June 2006, A nonprWX
organization, One by One Leadership, acted as the fiscal agent for 09 City and matching pdvate donors to
engage the IDA's services. Payments for the IDA and related expenses have totaled$23,339—$11,509 from
private donors, and $11,830 in matching City funds.
As a result, of the original id 0,0c0 In City funds set wide, $28,170 remains unspent. In addition there remains
$15,691 In unspent covers funds committed to support PBID formation.
In November 2008 the Downtown Fresno Partnership, an unincorporated group formed to champion the PBID
formation process, executed a consulting agreement with Progressive Urban Management Associates
(PUMA), for estimated fees and expanses of $69,900, Because of the limited capacityof One by One
I-eadershlp, the Fresno Revitalization Corporation became the Downtown Fresno Partnership's fiscal agent
and cosigned this agreement. On February 10, 2009, the Council also approved a change in the fiscal agent
for the City's PBID Grant Funding Agreement from One. by One Leadership to the Fresno Revitalization
Corporation.
Because of the complexity of the financing, Including the matching funds requirement and the change In fiscal
agent, the consultants from PUMA and their subcentraclom have worked unpaid to date, despite having
already incurred costs In excess of $35,000. Since these charges still need to be paid, they are Included below
In the future costs of PBID formation.
Proposed funding arrangement
On March 3, 2009, staff recommended that the Council approve a simpler funding arrangement wherein the
remaining costs for PBID formation, less the pdvate funds available, would be funded wholly by the City, with
no matching requirement Under stales proposed arrangement, all City funds expanded would be repaid to the
City upon successful formation of the PBID and from avallable PBID funds. According to staff's research, such
Downtown Fresno PBID

idingAmpayment arrangement has been a common way for cities to support PBID formation efforts around
freta. Staff has not found another example of a city that required private funds to match the city's
ribubons to the PBID process, n in the fanner arrangement.
Council commit the March 3ltem to today, with direction to staff to return with further details about
mntabilify during the PBID formation process. Constituent outreach and accountability are discussed in
The funds requested under stag's proposed arrangement (corresponding to ExhlbB A, the amended Grant
°unding Agreement( are as follows:
Estimated remaining expenses to complete Downtown PBID $100,000
Less remaining available City funding from PBID reserve — 28,170
Less available funding from private donations — 15,691
Additional City funding needed =j51139
The total maximum future Clry outlay consists of the $28,170 In previously authorized City funds, plus the
656,139 in funds requested today, for a roust potential future City outlay of $89,309. Ades from the additional
unding needed, staff's request involves a change in policy from a matching -funds arrangement to an
maddened, but repayable, funding arrangement.

Despile the increase In consultant costs, stall has worked with the Downtown Fresno Partnership to ensure
that the total estimated amount required to complete the PBID formation process remains at or under
$1 W,000, and the amount requested from the Council today remains unchanged from the March 3 hem.
Constituent outreach
Consistent with the overarching philosophy of the Downtown and Community Revitalization Department. the
formation of a Downtown Fresno Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) will continue to be a
community -led process. To date numerous Downtown properly owners have both pledged their support of the
proposal for a PBID, and contributed funds to support the ongoing district formation process. Severalofihem
constituents testified In support of the PBID process at the Match S. 2009. Council hearing on staffs proposed
City funding arrangement.
If the Council approves today's funding request, the next Mop in the PBID formation process will be a several -
month period of more intensive outreach to property owners. These conversations will be driven by the private
supporters of the PBID, not City staff, and will be d a decidedly two-way nature. Property owners Converted
will have the opportunity to express what level of assessment — and what corresponding level of deliverable
services and Improvements — they would support. The business plan for the district will be construct during
these conversations to reflect the levels of assessment corresponding to the levels of special bemeNt conte wal
that maximize constituent support for PBID fomlalgn. Generally the law requires that property,public
(excluding federal) and private. be included within the PBID and assessed in proportion to any special benefit
common. The PBID may include zones or areas reflecting these different rates d assessment. The
boundaries of the district, including the areas within the district of greater or lesser assessments and
dolverables, remain malleable until the final business plan Is issued.
During the next four to five weeks, the Downtown Fresno Partnership will be continuing work with the
consultant team's engineer to develop a complete Downtown property owner database. Additions to the
tlatabase during this period will inform further constituent pohearh, calculation of anticipated assessments an
private and public properties, and the eventual district budget for deliverable services and Improvements. The
City and Redevelopment Agency will then also have access to this database, which will have Incredible value.
as the Department continues to work on other Moralization efforts including specific land use plans, code
enforcement. and festivals.
Accountability and milestones
Assembly Bill 3754 (Chapter 897, Statutes of 1994), the Property and Business Improvement Distinct Law of
1994, set forth Procedures for formation of a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) In
California. This procedure was refined by Proposition 218, a constitutional amendment adopted by CaiBomla
voters in 1996 relating to elections for taxes, fees, and assessments.
The PBID formation process includes at least three 'Milestones' where staff will be returning to Council to
solicit further action.
Final, at the end of the upcoming Period of intense constituent contact, a final business plan will be issued thal
reflects Me property owner input received. The Council All need to decide whether the City, as a property
owner to be assessed, will sign onto the pettion supporting formation of the PBID to implement in the business
plan. Council approval of this plan will coincide with the start of petition -gathering among the various private
and pudic property owners.

Second, 9 and when the petition receives support from more than 50% of the property owners, weighted by
assessment liability, the City Clerk will accept the petif and the Council will need to adopt a resolution
ordering fine Clerk to set a notice/protest public hearing and conduct a ballot process under Proposition 218.
Third, the Council will be presented the ballcl results and, absent a majority protest, will be asked to adapt a
resolution forming the Downtown Fresno PBID and then contract Mh the nonprofit owners organization to
manage the PBID.
Although the funds requested ere sufficient to support the entire PBID formation process, funds will only be
expended As needed. 6inibit B provides an overview of how and when funds will the needed during the
process. At each phase, the Department will approve additional expenditures based on (1) successful
canonical of past steps, and (2) an Indicati0n, based on the best available information, that the hard step has
a high likelihood of success.
The Department looks forwad to the Council reports d each of the above milestones to provide updates on
the use of funds, along with the requested policy actions. Stag Is committed to keeping the Council and the
community, well Informetl during the entire remaining PSID foothill process.
