COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY CLERK and ORDINANCE OF
INTENTION FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the establishment of the
Property-Based Little Tokyo Property and Business Improvement District
(District) to levy assessments on real property.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE
MAYOR:
1. FIND that:
a. The petitions submitted on behalf of the proponents of the
proposed District are signed by property owners who will pay more
than 50 percent of the assessments proposed to be levied.
b. All parcels included in the District will receive a special benefit from
the improvements and activities that are to be provided.
c. All parcels will have a special benefit conferred upon them and
upon which an assessment would be imposed are those as
identified in the Management District Plan, attached to the Council
file.
d. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution, all
assessments are supported by the Engineer’s Report, prepared by
a registered professional engineer certified by the State of
California, attached to the Council file.
e. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and
based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s
Report, the assessment levied on each parcel within the proposed
District is proportionate to the special benefit derived from the
improvements and activities that are to be provided.
f. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and
based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s
Report, the Engineer has separated the general from special
benefits. The Engineer's Report identified general benefits in the
amount of two percent to be separated from the special benefits
conferred on parcels within the proposed District. The yearly
general benefits cost must be paid from funds other than the
assessments collected for the District. The general benefit cost for
first year of operation is $30,142.48.
g. No publicly-owned parcel is exempt from assessment.
h. The assessments for the proposed District are not taxes and that
the District qualifies for exemption from Proposition 26 under
exemption 7 of Article XIIIC, Section 1(e).
i. The services to be provided by the Owners Association are in the
nature of professional, expert, technical or other special services,
that the services are of a temporary and occasional character, and
that the use of competitive bidding would be impractical, not
advantageous, undesirable or where the common law otherwise
excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements.
j. The proposed improvements and activities are completely
separate from the day-to-day operations of the City of Los Angeles.
2. APPROVE the Little Tokyo Steering Committee to administer the District
if the District is established.
3. ADOPT the Preliminary Report of the City Clerk dated April 9, 2025,
attached to the Council file.
4. ADOPT the Management District Plan, attached to the Council file.
5. ADOPT said Engineer’s Report, attached to the Council file.
6. PRESENT AND ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE
OF INTENTION, dated April 11, 2025, to establish a Property and
Business Improvement District, to be known as the “Little Tokyo Property
and Business Improvement District”, pursuant to the Provisions of the
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Divison 18,
Part 7, Streets and Highways Code, State of California), and to levy
assessments.
7. AUTHORIZE the City Clerk, upon establishment of the District, to
prepare, execute and administer a contract between the City of Los
Angeles and the Little Tokyo Steering Committee, a non-profit
corporation, for the administration of the District’s programs.
8. DIRECT the City Clerk to comply with the notice, protest, and hearing
procedures prescribed in the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation
Act (California Government Code Section 53750, et seq.).
9. REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the City Clerk, to
prepare an enabling Ordinance establishing the District for City Council
consideration at the conclusion of the required public hearing.
10. AUTHORIZE the Controller, upon establishment of the District, to
establish a special trust fund within FMS entitled “Little Tokyo Business
Improvement District”, and assign a new revenue source code, if needed,
to this special fund.
Fiscal Impact Statement:
The City Clerks reports that the assessment levied on the City-owned
properties within the District to be paid from the General Fund total
$359,944.76 for the first year of the District. Funding is available in the
Business Improvement District Trust Fund 659 to pay the General Fund share
of the assessment for the first operating year. Proposition 218 requires the
separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit
portion for the District is $30,102.48 (2% of the total budget) for the first year.
However, funds other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for
the general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID'S five-year
term. |
