DISCUSSION:
The Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District (NBRA 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 NBRA BID territory 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.
In accordance with the 1989 Law, a public hearing must be held each year prior to the
renewal of a BID. If written protests are received from the owners of the businesses
within the BID which pay 50 percent or more of the total assessment to be levied, no
further proceedings to renew the BID shall be taken for a period of one year from the
date of the finding of a majority protest by the City Council. If the majority protest is only
against the furnishing of a specific type or types of improvements or activity or benefit
within the BID, those types of improvements or activities or benefit zones shall be
eliminated. If protests represent less than 50 percent of the total assessment, the City
Council may renew the BID.
The NBRA BID is nearing the end of its FY 2015-2016 and its Advisory Board of
Directors has requested renewal of the BID for FY 2016-2017. Pursuant to the 1989
Law, an annual report must be prepared and a public hearing must be held prior to the
BID's renewal.
During its May 24, 2016 regular meeting, the City Council approved the NBRA BID FY
2015-2016 Annual Report, adopted a Resolution of Intention to levy and collect
assessments for the BID in FY 2016-2017, and set a public hearing for the BID renewal
to take place on June 14, 2016. See Attachment A for the May 24, 2016 staff report and
Resolution No. 2016-63.
A public notice of the Resolution of Intention to levy and collect assessments for the
renewal of the NBRA BID and the time and place of the public hearing was published in
the Daily Pilot newspaper on June 4, 2016. In addition, it was posted on the City's
website (newportbeachca.gov/publicnotices) and, per the 1989 Law; a copy was mailed
to each NBRA BID member business.
As of the time this report was published by the City Clerk, no letters of opposition to the
NBRA BID's renewal have been received by the City. Any subsequent correspondence,
with a tabulation of the protests, will be provided to the City Council at its June 14, 2016
meeting.

Bookkeeping Services
From the time the NBRA BID was established in 1997 through 2014, the City paid for its
contracted, bookkeeping services. In 2014, City staff assumed responsibility for the
BID's bookkeeping and a brief history of how that change occurred follows.
Spring 2013
On March 26, 2013, the City Council provided staff direction on the amount of
administrative and financial support to provide to the City's BIDs. At that time, the City had
four BIDs that were formed under the 1989 Law during the mid- to late- 1990s. Of those,
the Balboa Village BID and the Marine Avenue BID opted to disband and form merchants
associations during the summer of 2013. The NBRA BID and Corona del Mar (CdM) BID
opted to remain as BIDs formed under the 1989 Law. The City agreed to fund each of
these four entities $40,000 per year for up to five years (through FY 2017-2018).
Since the NBRA and CdM BIDs chose to remain as BIDs formed under the 1989 Law, the
BID Boards agreed to assume more responsibility for their administration to alleviate some
of the need for City staff and financial support. This included the BIDs' assuming the cost
of an administrative consultant starting in FY 2013-2014 and the cost of a bookkeeping
consultant starting in FY 2014-2015.
Spring 2014
In March 2014, the NBRA and CdM BID board chairs expressed concerns to City staff
over the BIDs' covering the full cost of the administrative and bookkeeping services. They
asked if the City would consider paying for these services.
In response, staff proposed an option designed to reduce the administrative and
bookkeeping costs for the BIDs and for the City. The proposal, approved by the City
Council on May 27, 2014, was for the City to assume BID bookkeeping responsibilities and
create a part-time, fiscal clerk position in the City budget. The BID Board members agreed
to handle more of the monthly, administrative tasks themselves, such as taking the
meeting minutes and preparing other memos and/or reports (including the annual report
and budget). This agreement eliminated the need for BID administrative or bookkeeping
consultants. However, because the City would be handling the bookkeeping
responsibilities in-house, it reduced each BID's annual funding from $40,000 to $20,000
per fiscal year.
Ultimately, the Finance Department offered to share one of its existing, full-time employees
with the City Manager's Office, alleviating the need for the City to hire a part-time fiscal
clerk dedicated to BID bookkeeping. Since the transition, staff has had the opportunity to
thoroughly update the database and help with tasks such as tailoring the monthly financial
reports to each advisory boards' preferences.

Spring 2016
Recently, BID representatives expressed an interest in asking for their annual City funding
to be restored back to $40,000 per fiscal year. In return, they would agree to once again
outsource bookkeeping services.
The City conducted a request for qualifications for BID bookkeeping services and five
submissions were received by the April 8 deadline. City staff rated and interviewed the four
qualified candidates. Staff then met with the BID Board Chairs to discuss the results and
two proposers were invited to present to each BID Board.
At the Board meetings, City staff reiterated that the matter was brought forward at the
request of BID representatives and that the City would still provide the bookkeeping
service should neither BID Board select a new consultant. However, in order for the City to
free up staff time and justify any proposed funding increases to each BID, both the BIDs
would need to agree to select a consultant and agree to outsource their bookkeeping
services.
Consultant Selection
During its May 25 meeting, the NBRA BID Board heard presentations from the Newport
Beach Chamber of Commerce and Newport Beach & Company (NB&Co.). The Board's
preference was to keep the bookkeeping responsibilities with the City and ask the City for
$30,000 (instead of $20,000) in annual financial support. Its second choice was to contract
with Newport Beach & Company for bookkeeping, try to negotiate a lower price for the
service, and ask the City for a total of $40,000 in annual financial support.
Staff Recommendations
It should be noted that, at a separate meeting, the Corona del Mar BID Board voted in
favor of recommending outsourcing its BID bookkeeping to a local contractor. It did not opt
to keep the service with the City. Therefore, to balance the interests of the BIDs and the
City, staff is recommending outsourcing BID bookkeeping services and increasing the
City's annual financial support provided to the BIDs.
For the NBRA specifically, staff recommends that the City Council reinstate the BID
funding to $40,000 per year through FY 2017-2018 and authorize staff to enter into a two-
year agreement with NB&Co. for bookkeeping services through FY 2017-2018. The total,
not -to -exceed contract amount with NB&Co. would be $36,000 and would be paid directly
by the NBRA BID.
If the $40,000 funding option is approved by the City Council, the NBRA BID's proposed
FY 2016-2017 budget (see attachment B) would need to be adjusted to reflect these
changes. The City Council has the authority to amend the BID's budget prior to its
adoption. Therefore, staff recommends adjusting the operating budget to increase the
amount of City funding listed under Income from $20,000 to $40,000 and increase the

Total Income to $253,500. Then, under Expenses, add a bookkeeping services line item
for $18,000 and increase the Total Expenses to $253,500. See attachment C for the
proposed, revised FY 2016-2017 NBRA BID budget.
Advisory Board Appointments
The City Council has the authority to appoint an advisory board to the NBRA BID. The
City may limit membership on the advisory board to persons subject to the BID
assessment, or a designated representative of a member business. The board that
serves the NBRA BID is different and distinct from other City advisory bodies and is not
appointed in the same manner. The City relies upon the Streets and Highways Code for
BID advisory board appointments rather than Council Policy A-2. The NBRA BID's
bylaws allow for the appointment of 11 advisory board members.
The City Clerk posted a vacancy announcement for the 11 seats available on the NBRA
BID's Advisory Board of Directors (board seats are renewed annually). In addition, a
notice of the vacancies was mailed to all BID business members. To be eligible to serve
on the NBRA BID Advisory Board of Directors, the applicant must be the member
business owner or its designated representative. In addition, the business must be in
good standing (no debt owed to the City or the NBRA BID). By the April 8 deadline, 11
applications were received and deemed eligible for nomination.
The NBRA BID Advisory Board met on May 4 to review the applications and
recommended the nomination of the 11 applicants for City Council appointment. The
recommended nominees for the FY 2016-2017 NBRA BID Advisory Board of Directors
are as follows:
John DeFrenza, representing Crocker's "The Well Dressed Frank"
Mario Marovic, Malarky's Irish Pub
Bruno Massuger, Newport Dunes Resort
Matthew Meddock, Session West Coast Deli
Dan Miller, The Village Inn
Jordan Otterbein, A Restaurant & Market
Catherine Pavlos, Provenance Restaurant
Christopher Roman, CUCINA enoteca
Brendon Salisbury, The Cannery Restaurant
Ron Schwartz, Muldoon's Irish Pub
Jim Walker, The Bungalow Restaurant
If a majority protest does not exist, City staff recommends the adoption of Resolution
2016-79, a Resolution Confirming the Levying of Assessments for the Fiscal Year 2016-
2017 for the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District
(Attachment D); increasing annual BID funding to $40,000 through fiscal year 2017-
2018; approving the BID bookkeeping services agreement with Newport Beach &
Company; and the subsequent approval of the proposed Advisory Board of Directors.

Council agreed to provide $40,000 each year for five years (ending in FY 2017-18) to
support the NBRA BID efforts.
In 2014, the City Council approved reducing funding to $20,000 when it was agreed to
bring the BID accounting (assessment billing, collection, financial reporting) and minimal
administrative support in house to be performed by City staff.
The City's proposed FY 2016-2017 budget includes sufficient funding to continue to
support the NBRA BID. It will be expensed to the Professional and Technical account in
the City Manager's Office, Economic Development Division, 01020202-811008.
DISCUSSION:
The Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District (NBRA BID)
was formed in 1995 (Ordinance 95-55) pursuant to the Parking and Business
Improvement Area Law of 1989 (1989 Law), codified in Streets and Highways Code
Sections 36500 et seq. The NBRA BID was established for the purpose of financing
activities and programs to benefit the businesses located and operating in the area. The
NBRA BID 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. (A boundary map is attached to the Resolution.)
The NBRA BID is nearing the end of its FY 2015-2016 and the Board of Directors has
requested renewal of the BID for FY 2016-2017. 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 NBRA 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 NBRA BID's FY
2015-2016 accomplishments and revenues, as well as its proposed activities and
budget for the new fiscal year. The NBRA BID Board is requesting renewal in its present
structure as identified in the annual report. It should be noted, that the NBRA BID Board
has been working on amending the BID's structure, and intends to present proposed
changes to the City Council for consideration at a later date. A note has been added to
the bottom of the budget, which reflects the estimated increase in assessment revenue
should the amendment be approved.
Fiscal Year 2016 Accomplishments
The NBRA BID Board has continued efforts on the priorities identified in its 2013-2016
Strategic Business Plan. Specific areas of focus include providing an annual marketing
strategy for promoting dining in Newport Beach, ongoing communications with business
members and diners, targeted outreach efforts, and financial oversight and evaluation.

The main special event of the NBRA BID is the annual Newport Beach Restaurant
Week, held each year in January. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the event
and it spanned two full weeks. The event metrics showed a 19 percent year -over -year
growth, of the event diners surveyed, 79 percent resided outside of Newport Beach, and
94 percent rated the event as an excellent value (Attachment B).
The NBRA BID Board recently adopted a partner program (Attachment C), which is run
directly through its marketing agency, Newport Beach & Company (NB&Co.). Interested
individuals or businesses pay a small, annual fee to be connected to NBRA BID
member businesses and have the opportunity for future advertising and event
sponsorship.
Through the strategic partnership with NB&Co., the NBRA BID has participated in a
variety of community events such as Taste of Balboa, Newport Beach Wine and Food
Festival, Balboa Craft Beer Festival, and the Newport Beach Film Festival.
The NBRA BID will continue efforts on the above and the remainder of the FY 2016-
2017 activities listed in the annual report including ongoing and regular marketing and
public relations.
City staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 2016-64, a Resolution of
Intention to Renew the Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement
District (Attachment D) and levy assessments in fiscal year 2016-2017 and setting the
public hearing for renewing the NBRA BID for June 14, 2016.
