AUTHORIZE RFP: PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES TO PREPARE A
FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE CREATION OF A BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT (BID) OR A PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (PBID)
– F2M25-61, RFP2M25-25
On June 23, 2025, the City Council approved the 2025 Strategic Plan, including Goal
Three: Create a Strong Financial Base and Strong Economic Base (Economic
Development). One of the goal’s objectives is to research and initiate a study to explore
expanding the Downtown Alhambra Business Association (DABA) boundaries and
potentially increasing the assessment amounts. To increase DABA’s operating budget, a
BID/PBID feasibility study is being proposed to analyze whether a Business Improvement
District (BID) or Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) structure would be
viable and appropriate for Alhambra. A BID or PBID would replace DABA and its current
assessment structure. These districts are special assessment areas established and
approved by local businesses and property owners. BIDs and PBIDs are independent from
the City and empower local property owners, businesses, and stakeholders to take an
active role in identifying specific needs, determining how funds are spent, and promoting
long-term economic vitality. A BID/PBID in Alhambra could enhance services such as
public safety, maintenance, marketing, and promotional events.
Recommended Action:
City Council authorize the distribution of a Request for
Proposals to provide professional consulting services to create a feasibility study for a
Business Improvement District (BID) or a Property and Business Improvement District
(PBID) within Downtown Alhambra; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to
finalize the Council’s action. |
