Brown, City Clerk - 949-644-3005, 1brown@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Leilani I. Brown, City Clerk TITLE: Confirmation of Appointments to the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District Advisory Board of Directors ABSTRACT: California Streets and Highways Code Sections 36500 et seq., grants the City Council the authority to appoint an advisory board for Business Improvement Districts formed under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (1989 Law). Due to the resignations of Cindy O'Shea, representing Whole Foods, and Alexandra Robinson, representing Park Avenue Cafe, the City Council has the opportunity to fill the vacated positions on the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District Advisory Board of Directors (NBRA BID). RECOMMENDATION: Appoint Alexandra Robinson representing Back Bay Bistro, and Christopher Roman, representing Cucina Enoteca, to fill the unexpired balance of Cindy O'Shea and Alexandra Robinson's terms on the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District Advisory Board of Directors which expires on June 30, 2016. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: The NBRA BID was formed pursuant to the 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 business improvement district (BID). 18-1 Appointments to the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District November 24, 2015 Page 2 The City Council has the authority to appoint an Advisory Board to the NBRA BID and limit membership on the Advisory Board to persons subject to the BID assessment. The Advisory Board that serves on the NBRA BID is not appointed in the same manner as other City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City relies on the Streets and Highways Code for Business Improvement District advisory board appointments rather than City Council Policy A-2, Board, Commission and Committee Appointments. At the May 26, 2015, City Council meeting, the City Council appointed 11 individuals to the NBRA BID Advisory Board of Directors for FY 2015-2016. On October 14, 2015, the City Clerk was informed that Cindy O'Shea resigned from her seat on the Advisory Board and, on October 28, 2015, the City Clerk was informed that Alexandra Robinson resigned from his seat on the Advisory Board. In compliance with the Maddy Act and the 1989 Law, the City Clerk prepared and posted a Special Notice of Unscheduled Vacancy on November 4, 2015, in the City Clerk's Office, at the Central Library, on the City's webpage, and on the bulletin board located in the City Council Chambers; and published the Notice of Vacancy in the Daily Pilot on November 7, 2015. It is the NBRA BID Advisory Board of Directors' desire to fill the unscheduled vacancies for the remaining FY 2015-2016 terms, ending June 30, 2016. At its November 18, 2015 meeting, the NBRA BID Advisory Board of Directors reviewed the applications on file and recommends that the City Council appoint Alexandra Robinson representing Back Bay Bistro, and Christopher Roman, representing Cucina Enoteca, to the Advisory Board of Directors for FY 2015-2016. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
