HISTORY, BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION
| This is the first of four resolutions of the special assessment process. This resolution directs the City Manager to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates for the 2019 Dickman Road Business Improvement District project.
The Business Improvement District (BID) was created in 2000 in an effort to protect the investments of seven automobile dealers concentrated within a 1 ½ mile stretch by reversing the declining physical environment along West Dickman Road and increasing awareness through collaborative marketing efforts. The close proximity of the seven dealerships was an under exploited asset to market as the preferred option for consumer shopping. The creation of the BID has allowed marketing efforts to promote and enhance this asset.
The BID was renewed in 2005, 2008, and in 2011 for a three year period each to continue the goal of preserving the asset. In 2014 the BID was renewed for a five year period. This resolution renews the BID special assessment for another five year period.
At their May 2018 meeting the Dickman Road Business Improvement District Board of Directors approved the attached five-year special assessment budget plan.
