Background Analysis
The President's Plaza Property and Business Improvement District ("PPID") includes
properties that are located on the south side of Highway 111, and on the north side of El
Paseo, between Portola and Larkspur Lane. The street boundaries of PPID are shown
on a map on Page A-2 of the Engineer's Annual Levy Report for Fiscal Year
202012021.
The City collects annual assessments from PPID property owners to pay for landscape
maintenance, street sweeping, solid waste/recycling and parking lot lighting within the
common parking lot areas. The authorized district levy is expiring June 30, 2020. Staff is
requesting that we renew the district levy for an additional two-year term for Fiscal Years
2020/2021 and 2021/2022 at which time we will reevaluate the costs for the district based
on the anticipated improvements to the parking lot which are expected to begin in Spring
2021.
The only modification to the PPID budget at this time will be a three percent (3%) cost -of -
living adjustment for each year of the two-year plan which a majority of the property
owners must approve.
Staff recommends that the City Council declare its intention to levy the full assessment,
and to set the Public Hearing date for June 25, 2020, pursuant to state law.
Fiscal Analysis
The assessment and collection of the levy will finance both ongoing maintenance of the
PPID and associated staff costs, reducing the City's financial burden.
