BID for funding the activities listed in its annual report to the Council. In addition to the
assessments, the City's adopted FY 2012 -2013 budget includes sufficient funding for
providing $38,000 in matching funds to the BID.
DISCUSSION:
The Corona del Mar 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 within the area. The City Council renewed the BID for
a one -year term (through June 30, 2013) at its June 26, 2012 meeting.
The City Council has the authority to appoint an advisory board to the BID. The City
may limit membership on the advisory board to persons that are subject to the BID
assessment. The boards that serve the City's four 1989 Business Improvement Districts
are different and distinct from other advisory bodies within the City and are not
appointed in the same manner. The City relies upon the Streets and Highways Code for
BID board appointments rather than Council Policy A -2.
The recommended appointments to the Corona del Mar BID Advisory Board of
Directors for FY 2012 — 2013 are as follows:
Bernie Svalstad, Newport Financial
Tom Nicholson, Nicholson Companies
Tina Hoover, Hoover Law Office
Jim Walker, The Bungalow Restaurant
Keith Dawson, Dawson & Dawson
Ali Zadeh, The Port Restaurant & Lounge
Scott Laidlaw, Laidlaw Schultz Architects.
