Resolution of Intention to Renew the Newport Beach Restaurant Association
Business Improvement District and Levy Assessments in FY 2014 - 2015
ABSTRACT:
The Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District (Restaurant BID)
Board of Directors has submitted the BID's FY 2013 - 2014 Annual Report for City Council
approval and requested renewal of the BID for FY 2014 - 2015.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Approve the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District FY
2013 — 2014 Annual Report; and
b) Adopt Resolution 2014 -37, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach
Declaring its Intention to Renew the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business
Improvement District and Levy Assessments for the Fiscal Year of July 1, 2014 to June 30,
2015, and Fix the Time and Place of a Public Hearing for May 27, 2014.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The City of Newport Beach, or its approved designee, collects the member assessments on
behalf of the Restaurant BID and remits the monies back to the BID to fund the activities
specifically described in the attached annual report. In addition to the assessments, last year,
the City agreed to provide $40,000 each year for five years (ending in FY 2017 -18) to support
the Restaurant BID's marketing and general promotion of restaurant trade activities. This year,
the Restaurant BID has requested additional financial assistance from the City. In an effort to
help the Restaurant BID achieve its marketing goals, staff proposing that the City covers the
costs of the BID administration and accounting services (approximately $40,000).
DISCUSSION:
213
The Newport Beach Restaurant Association BID (Restaurant BID) was formed pursuant to the
Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (1989 Law), codified in Streets and
Highways Code Sections 36500 et seq., for the purpose of financing activities and programs to
benefit businesses located and operating in the area. The Restaurant BID area encompasses
any food service business (such as restaurants, groceries with a dine in or take -out food
service, mini - marts, gas stations with take -out food service, and bars serving food) doing
business within the boundaries of the City of Newport Beach. (Boundary Map is attached to the
Resolution as Attachment A.)
The Restaurant BID is nearing the end of its FY 2013 - 2014 and the advisory board has
requested renewal of the BID for FY 2014 - 2015. Pursuant to the 1989 Law, an annual report
must be prepared and a public hearing must be held prior to the BID's renewal.
The Restaurant BID Board of Directors, which serves in an advisory capacity to the City
Council, has prepared and submitted the attached annual report (Attachment A) for the
Council's review and approval. The report includes a summary of the BID's FY 2013 — 2014
accomplishments and revenues as well as its proposed activities and budget for the new fiscal
year. The report does not contain recommendations to alter the BID boundaries or the method
and basis for levying assessments.
Funding Issues
On March 26, 2013, the City Council directed staff on several efforts regarding the future of the
City's BIDS. The Balboa Village BID and the Marine Avenue BID opted to disband and form
merchants associations. The Newport Beach Restaurant Association BID and Corona del Mar
BID chose to remain "1989 Act" BIDs. The City agreed to fund each of these four entities
$40,000 per year for up to five years (through FY 2017 - 2018). The City also offered to pay an
additional $10,000 to Newport Beach and Company (NB &Co.) in year one of the
agreements, if one of the BIDs or merchants associations chose to work with NB &Co. on
marketing and branding efforts.
Because the Restaurant BID chose to remain a 1989 Act BID, the City Council and the BID
Board further agreed that the BID would assume more responsibility for its own administration
to alleviate the need for City staff time. This included absorbing the cost of a BID Administrator
to manage the day -to -day administrative functions starting in FY 2013 -2014 and the costs of
accounting services starting in FY 2014 -2015.
In March of this year, the Restaurant BID board chair met with City staff and expressed
concerns with the cost of the administrative and accounting services - approximately 40,000.
He asked if the City could pay for these services in the new fiscal year and into the future.
FY 14 Accomplishments
In June 2013, the Restaurant BID adopted a three -year Strategic Business Plan to serve as a
directional document for the BID and establish the BID's strategic goals. The BID board has
made significant changes during the past fiscal year, all of which align with the priority initiatives
established in the strategic plan. Working with the City's purchasing division, two Requests for
Proposals (RFP) were let for providing services to the Restaurant BID.
. Restaurant Week — In October, McFarlane Promotions was selected for planning,
marketing and executing the 2014 Restaurant Week event. The 10 -day event was
214
successful, however, due to the short lead time provided to the consultant, no sponsorship
dollars were secured for this year's event. This left the BID funding the majority of the
event (less the restaurant participant buy -in fees collected) and its marketing dollars short
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
. Marketing and Public Relations — In December, NB &Co. was selected as the Restaurant
BID's marketing and public relations vendor for the regular, year -round planning,
development, implementation and promotion of dining in Newport Beach. NB &Co. is
strategically working on member outreach and education and on a new website platform
(Dine Newport Beach) that is scheduled to launch this September.
The attached annual report highlights the remainder of the FY 2013 -14 accomplishments and
the FY 2014 -2015 planned marketing, public relations and activities for the Restaurant BID.
City staff is recommending adoption of Resolution 2014 -37, a Resolution of Intention to renew
the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District (Attachment B) and
levy assessments in FY 2014 — 2015 and setting the public hearing date for renewing the
NBRA BID for May 27, 2014.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the
activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to
the environment, directly or indirectly.
