Heather Moreno, Mayor n Exhibit A Atascadero Main Street Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 The California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533 requires the preparation of a report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of improvements and activities of the Improvement Area. The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to the boundaries of the parking and business improvement area or any benefit zones within the area, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of businesses. No boundary changes are proposed for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The boundaries are more specifically described as follows: From the south corner of Morro Road at the Highway 101 over -crossing then in the generally northwest direction immediately adjacent to Highway 101, to a point at the intersection of EI Camino Real and Rosario Avenue, then easterly along Rosario Avenue, to a point at the intersection of Rosario and Palma Avenue, then easterly along Palma Avenue to the rear lot line of parcels on the east side of Traffic Way, then north along said rear lot lines to include Lot 24 of Block LA, of Atascadero, then northerly along the center line of Traffic Way, to a point, then easterly to include the presently existing National Guard Armory Property.

Since 2000, the City, Community Redevelopment Agency, Chamber of Commerce, other organizations and the community have worked to strengthen the downtown business community, and implement the downtown revitalization strategy. In 2009, as the economic downturn was affecting businesses, the City Council made the decision to levy a $0 assessment on the businesses in the District. The State of California dissolved all redevelopment agencies in 2011, and the City, Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations have worked in collaboration to continue the efforts of the Community Redevelopment Agency to provide better services to and strengthen the businesses in the downtown. In 2017, an informal committee of downtown business owners formed to promote economic vitality and encourage business growth in the downtown. This committee will advise the Chamber of Commerce on expenditures and will assist in the creation of the annual budget for the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (DPBIA). The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce will serve as the advisory body and the sub -contractor to the City regarding the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area. The Chamber of Commerce is requesting that the City levy an assessment of 100% of the business license fee for businesses in the DPBIA. Each licensed business in the Improvement Area shall contribute to the assessment. Activities and improvements in the DPBIA are funded by the assessment. The proposed work plan and budget for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 is as follows: BIA Funds requested for 2020/2021 $ 10,600 Carry over from 2018/2019 $ 150 Estimated revenue from events $ 1.000 Total Proposed Funding Available $11,750 2020/2021 Proposed Expenditures Events (3 total) $ 3,950 Beautification/Miscellaneous $ 4,000 Marketing $ 2,600 Events Management 1,200 Total Proposed Expenditures for 2020/2021 11,750 Fund Residual $ 0 This report shall be filed with the City Clerk on behalf of the DPBIA for Fiscal Year 2020-2021
