On March 10, 2016, the Main Street Commission approved the FY 16-17 Budget and forwarded to the City Council for review and adoption (Step No. 1). Total expenses for FY 2016-17 are $38,382. The proposed assessment reflects no increase from the previous year and remains at $19.92 per linear-foot, which is equivalent to a $498 levy for the typical 25-foot storefront on Main Street.
Step No. 2 adopts a Resolution initiating proceedings for the annual assessment, describing the public improvements, and ordering the City Engineer to prepare and file a report for the MSAD. Step No. 3 adopts a Resolution approving the attached Engineer’s Report. The report provides a description of public improvements and lists the associated costs for operating the MSAD. Step No. 4 adopts a Resolution of Intention to levy and collect assessments and sets the Public Hearing for Tuesday, June 14, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. |

There is no impact to the General Fund. Total assessment revenue for FY 2016-17 is $27,200. |
