PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The following annual assessment and property tax resolutions have been completed by the Finance Division and the assessments are ready to be spread on the tax files.
The TBID operated for two years on a $.75 per occupied room night assessment but when requested by the TBID Board, the Council increased the fee to $1 in 2009 The TBID Board is requesting that the City Council approve an amendment to Resolution No. 07-18593 to create two classes of hotels and differential assessments based on the number of available rooms in each hotel.
These assessments will be listed as sub items under one agenda item. There will be one public hearing where anyone may speak about any of the assessments. After the public hearing is closed, the Council will need to take action on each individual assessment resolution. All assessments take a majority vote except for the Arterial Construction assessment. The Arterial Construction assessment takes a super-majority of Council of at least (2/3) of all Council members present and voting because the assessment rate is proposed to increase.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council must hold a public hearing and then may:
- Approve the resolutions; or
- Not approve the resolutions
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Light maintenance districts rates are calculated by estimating the expenses for maintenance and recovering actual expenses. Street Maintenance District 1 fees will increase by 8.5%, and Street Maintenance District 2 fees will increase by 2.1% for FY14. Storm sewer and Arterial Fees will increase by 2.6% for FY 2014. There are no mill increases in FY 2014 for General Fund, Transit, Library, and Public Safety 1 levies.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that one public hearing be held for all the assessments and that the City Council approve each individual resolution. The Arterial Construction resolution requires a super-majority (2/3) of Council members present and voting.
