OVERVIEW The Fresno/Clovis Tourism Business Improvement District (FCTBID) was formed in 2010 for a five-year term ending on December 31, 2015. As the FCTBID reaches the end of its initial term, businesses have expressed a desire to renew it. Location: The renewed FCTBID includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of the cities of Fresno and Clovis. Services: The FCTBID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing room night sales. Destination marketing and sales promotions will increase overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby increasing room night sales. Budget: The total FCTBID annual budget for the first five (5) years of its ten (10) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $1,400,000 per year. The anticipated annual budget for the last five (5) years of its ten (10) year operation will be approximately $2,000,000 per year. This budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales and the assessment rate do, as detailed in Section VI. Cost: The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten year term. In years six through ten, the annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, nor on stays by railroad crews, airline crews, or tax exempt government employees on government business as described in detail in section V. The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on at least a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the FCTBID. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. Duration: The proposed FCTBID will have a ten (10) year life, beginning January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2025, which term is the proposed time for implementation and completion of this Management District Plan. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of district renewal there is a 30-day period in which owners paying more than fifty percent (50%) of the assessment may protest and initiate a City Council hearing on district termination. Management: The Fresno/Clovis Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (FCCVB) will serve as the FCTBID’s Owners’ Association. The Owners’ Association is charged with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan, and must provide annual reports to the City Council. Management District Plan 3 December18, 2014 II. IMPETUS There are several reasons why now is the right time to renew a TBID in Fresno/Clovis; the most compelling reasons are as follows: 1. The Need to Increase Occupancy The renewal of the FCTBID is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding beyond that provided by the cities. The funding will ensure that adequate financing exists for the investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and be competitive in the conference segment of the tourism market. The investment will cover an expanded marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment. 2. An Opportunity for Increasing Cities’ Tax Revenues As occupancy rates increase, so too will the cities’ TOT revenue. With stable public/private funding for tourism marketing efforts, annual occupancy rates should increase significantly as new marketing and sales promotion programs are implemented. Greater occupancy will also produce an increase in sales tax revenues from tourist spending. This represents a substantial return to the cities. The renewal of the FCTBID in partnership with the FCCVB creates a stable funding source tied directly to tourism promotion. 3. Stable Funding for Tourism Promotion The FCTBID will provide a stable source of funding for consistent tourism promotion efforts. The FCTBID will provide funding for tourism promotion free of the political and economic circumstances that can reduce or eliminate government funding for tourism promotion. Management District Plan 4 December18, 2014 III. BACKGROUND TBIDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TBID was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over eighty California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model – Washington, Montana, and Texas have adopted TBID laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. And, some cities, like Portland, Oregon, have utilized their charter powers to create TBIDs without a state law. California’s TBIDs collectively raise over $150 million for local destination marketing. With competitors raising their budgets, and increasing rivalry for visitor dollars, it is important that Fresno and Clovis lodging businesses invest in stable, lodging-specific marketing programs. TBIDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism districts. TBIDs allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase room night sales. Lodging business owners within the TBID pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase room night sales. In California, TBIDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TBIDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district. There are many benefits to TBID: • Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay; • Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services; • They are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and • They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion. Management District Plan 5 December18, 2014 IV. BOUNDARY The FCTBID will include all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the cities of Fresno and Clovis. Lodging business means: any structure, or any portion of any structure which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobilehome or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof. The boundary, as shown in the map below, currently includes ninety-four (94) lodging businesses. A complete listing of lodging businesses within the proposed FCTBID can be found in Appendix 2. Management District Plan 6 December18, 2014 V. BUDGET AND SERVICES A. Annual Service Plan Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the FCTBID funds are sales promotion and destination marketing programs. These FCTBID programs are only available to assessed businesses. A service plan budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit businesses throughout the District. A detailed annual budget will be developed and approved by the Owners’ Association. The table below illustrates the initial annual budget allocations. Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the budget shall remain the same. However, the FCCVB board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the FCTBID, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the FCTBID. The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten-year term. In years six through ten, the annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue. The table below portrays the potential annual assessment budget increase from one and one- half percent (1.5%) to two percent (2%) in year six of the ten-year term. Additionally, a three percent (3%) annual increase in the total budget is shown, to account for estimated increased room night sales as a result of FCTBID efforts.  $1,176,000  ,   84%    $140,000  ,  10%    $70,000  ,  5%    $14,000  ,  1%   Sales  and  MarkeSng   AdministraSon   ConSngency/Renewal   City  AdministraSon   Management District Plan 7 December18, 2014 Estimated Annual Budget 2016-2025 FY Sales and Marketing Administration Contingency City Administration Total 2016  $1,176,000  $140,000  $70,000  $14,000  $1,400,000   2017  $1,211,280  $144,200  $72,100  $14,420  $1,442,000   2018  $1,247,618  $148,526  $74,263  $14,853  $1,485,260   2019  $1,285,047  $152,982  $76,491  $15,298  $1,529,818   2020  $1,323,598  $157,571  $78,786  $15,757  $1,575,712   2021  $1,813,197  $215,857  $107,928  $21,586  $2,158,568   2022  $1,867,593  $222,333  $111,166  $22,233  $2,223,325   2023  $1,923,621  $229,003  $114,501  $22,900  $2,290,025   2024  $1,981,330  $235,873  $117,936  $23,587  $2,358,726   2025  $2,040,770  $242,949  $121,474  $24,295  $2,429,488   Sales and Marketing A sales and marketing program will promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations. The sales and marketing program will have a central theme of promoting Fresno and Clovis as a desirable place for overnight visits. The program will have the goal of increasing overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, and may include the following activities: • Internet marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Print ads in magazines and newspapers targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Television ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Radio ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Attendance of trade shows to promote assessed businesses; • Sales blitzes for assessed businesses; • Familiarization tours of assessed businesses; • Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and maps featuring assessed businesses; • Attendance of professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed businesses; • Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed businesses; • Director of Sales and General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion efforts for assessed businesses; • Promotion of sporting events to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; and • Education of lodging business management and the owners’ association on marketing strategies best suited to meet assessed business’s needs. Administration and Operations Management District Plan 8 December18, 2014 The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees. City Administration Fee The Cities of Fresno and Clovis shall be paid a fee equal to 1% of the amount of assessment collected to cover their costs of collection and administration. Contingency/Renewal A prudent portion of the budget will be allocated to a contingency fund, to account for lower than anticipated collections. If there are contingency funds collected and near the expiration of the district there are contingency funds remaining, and business owners wish to renew the district, the contingency funds may be used for renewal costs. B. Determination of Specific Benefit State law requires that assessment funds be expended on specific benefits conferred directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the cities of conferring the benefits. The services in this Management District Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed lodging businesses. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, but rather to serve the specific lodging businesses within the District, e.g., the proposed activities are specifically targeted to increase room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the District, and are narrowly tailored. FCTBID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased room night sales directly to the assessees. For example, non-assessed businesses will not be featured in FCTBID programs and will not receive sales leads from them. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses. Further, the assessment may be utilized to provide specific government services directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of providing the services. The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions services like those to be provided by the FCTBID are, in the context of assessment districts, government services. Further, the amount of the assessment is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the proposed activities, and the manner in which the costs are allocated to a business owner bear a fair share or reasonable relationship to the businesses’ benefits received from the proposed activities. A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a “specific benefit” merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor. To the extent that other, non-District, lodging businesses may receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program generating those room nights shall be paid with non-District funds. District services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. Funds will be managed by the Owners’ Association, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City. Only assessed businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from district-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other district-funded services. Non-assessed businesses will not receive these, nor any other, district-funded services and benefits. Management District Plan 9 December18, 2014 C. Assessment The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten-year term. In years six through ten, the annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on the following stays: • Stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; • Stays by railroad crews and airline crews; • Stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty or any federal or California city, county or state government officer or employee when on official business; and • Stays by any occupant whose rent is of a value less than two dollars ($2.00) a day. The term “gross room rental revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged, whether or not received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, whether to be received in money, goods, labor, or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits, and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross room rental revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. The assessment shall be disclosed as the “FCTBID Assessment.” The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purposes, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes. Bonds shall not be issued. D. Penalties and Interest 1. Any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment imposed within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment. 2. Any lodging business which fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed. 3. If either City determines that the non-payment of any remittance due under this plan is due to fraud or intent to evade the provisions thereof, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections 1 and 2 of this section. 4. In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment imposed shall pay interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid. 5. Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall be merged with and become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid. E. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments The FCTBID assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2016 and will continue for ten (10) years through December 31, 2025. Each city will be responsible for collecting the assessment Management District Plan 10 December18, 2014 not less than quarterly (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the respective city, in the FCTBID, and forwarding the amount collected to the City of Fresno on a quarterly basis. Each city shall take all reasonable efforts to collect, or cause to be collected, the assessments from each lodging business located within its boundaries, within the FCTBID, including the collection of delinquent assessments. The assessment shall be collected using a return form developed and provided to the assessed businesses by the cities. The City of Fresno shall forward the assessment funds collected, including any delinquencies, penalties and interest, to the Owners’ Association. Management District Plan 11 December18, 2014 VI. GOVERNANCE A. Owners’ Association The City Council, through adoption of this Management District Plan, has the right, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners’ Association of the FCTBID as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36614.5. The City Council has determined that the Fresno/Clovis Convention and Visitors Bureau (FCCVB) will serve as the Owners’ Association for the FCTBID. B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association is considered a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the FCCVB board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. C. Annual Report The FCCVB shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include: • Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district. • The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner, to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year. • The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year. • The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

(c) It is of particular local benefit to allow cities to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that benefits from those improvements. (d) Assessments levied for the purpose of providing improvements and promoting activities that benefit real property or businesses are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, but are assessments for the improvements and activities which confer special benefits upon the real property or businesses for which the improvements and activities are provided. ß 36602.

If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners. ß 36624. Changes to proposed assessments At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements or activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. ß 36625. Resolution of formation (a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish the proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall contain all of the following: (1) A brief description of the proposed activities and improvements, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement about whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district.

(2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district. (4) A determination regarding any protests received. The city shall not establish the district or levy assessments if a majority protest was received.
