It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Establishing the Levy for
the 2012 Annual Assessment for the downtown Petaluma Business Improvement District
BACKGROUND
In November 2000, the Petaluma City Council adopted Ordinance 2104 N.C.S., establishing the
Downtown Petaluma Business Improvement District,(DPBID), codified as Chapter 6.04 of the
Petaluma Municipal Code. A Board of Directors is established to administer the affairs of the .
District. Under Petaluma Municipal Code section 6.04.100,1he Board of Directors must present
the City Council with an Annual'Report and related budget'information for review and approval
prior to adopting a Resolution of Intention to levy an annual assessment for Fiscal Year 2012.
The fiscal year for the BID begins on January 1s`. Notice ofthe,Public Hearing was published in
the newspaper on January 12, 2012 and the mailing with Attachments 1 and 2 was completed on
January 10, 2012.
DISCUSSION
The Council has reviewed'the annual report and proposed budget for the 2012 DPBID
assessment and adopted a Resolution of Intention to Levy an.Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year
2012. At tonight's public hearing,the Council will hear any testimony for and against the

FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The DPBID Assessments are as follows:
50% Security $32,500
28% Marketing $18,200
20% Beautification $13,000
2% Administration $ 1,300
Total: $65,000
This year it is recommended that MuniServices, LLC perform the billing and collection services
for the BID. This change will free up City Finance staff time, which has become more limited
due to frozen vacancies. The services would include printing and mailing the BID notices and
attachments, validating account information against MuniServices' proprietary database,
processing and depositing all payments, and preparing and submitting reports to City and
Petaluma Downtown Association staff for periodic review. MuniServices will send two
additional notices and make one follow up phone call to customers who do not remit their annual
BID payment in a timely manner. Muniservices' fee for these billing and collection services will
be $11.00 per processed account and will be paid for by the BID. There will be no cost for this
service to the City. The net collected amount will be deposited into the Petaluma Downtown
Association's bank account. The financial impact to the BID is anticipated to be cost neutral
because additional collections should be realized over prior years. This is due to. enhanced
collection processes offered by MuniServices. Those enhanced procedures should result in
sufficient additional revenue to offset the $11.00 per account processing fees. In addition, some
direct costs including postage, envelopes, etc. will no longer be incurred. We have discussed the
billing and cost considerations with representatives.ofthe Downtown Association and they have
approved the changes. These new services will be itemized in an addendum to the current
MuniServices contract with the City of Petaluma.
