Subject:
3.A. Consider Resolution 2024-20 Establishing a time and place for the Public Hearing on a Business Improvement District 
Discussion:
City Administrator, Tom Ourada, discussed how a third party, the city of someone, would do maintenance, such as snow removal and weed removal. The City hires Region V, and they do some work but are unable to do all of it. Tom Sorenson created a petition and went to property owners and got over 30% for a district to petition it in. Tom Sorenson explained that the intent is to hire someone to have downtown looking good and those who don't shovel will pay for their share. Business or property owners will get assessed to have their part being paid. Anna Burge, City Attorney, explained the different ways business or property will be assessed. A resolution would need to be passed to set up a public hearing, public notices will be sent out, and we would need to figure out an estimate of cost to operate the business improvement agreement. Letters would be sent out to the businesses involved. The hearing will be October 15. The council will decide if the city will move forward with this. Funding is taxed, and that money is controlled by the city, but it is specifically set aside for the business improvement area. Funding is maintained for that specific area, which would be snow removal, weed removal, and possibly landscaping.
