17 | 17 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
---|
18 | 18 | | This bill authorizes two or more municipalities to create a single |
---|
19 | 19 | | multijurisdictional business improvement district and makes several other changes |
---|
20 | 20 | | to the statutes governing business improvement districts (BIDs) and neighborhood |
---|
21 | 21 | | improvement districts (NIDs). |
---|
22 | 22 | | Under current law, upon the receipt of a petition from certain business owners |
---|
23 | 23 | | in a designated area of a municipality, a municipality may create a BID. A BID is |
---|
24 | 24 | | governed by a board, whose members are appointed by the creating municipality's |
---|
25 | 25 | | chief executive officer. The board must adopt an initial operating plan for the BID, |
---|
26 | 26 | | and may make changes to the operating plan each year, subject to the approval of the |
---|
27 | 27 | | municipality's governing body. |

37 | 37 | | SENATE BILL 572 |
---|
38 | 38 | | Under current law, upon being petitioned to do so by an owner of real property |
---|
39 | 39 | | that is located in the proposed NID, a municipality may create an NID. In general, |
---|
40 | 40 | | an NID is an area within a municipality consisting of parcels that are near to one |
---|
41 | 41 | | another, but not necessarily contiguous, at least some of which are used for |
---|
42 | 42 | | residential purposes and subject to general real estate taxes, and may include |
---|
43 | 43 | | property that is acquired and owned by the NID board. An NID is governed by a |
---|
44 | 44 | | board, whose members are elected. A municipality may adopt an initial operating |
---|
45 | 45 | | plan for the NID, and the board may annually make changes to the operating plan, |
---|
46 | 46 | | subject to the approval of the municipality's governing body. |
---|
47 | 47 | | The creating municipality may impose special assessments on the property in |
---|
48 | 48 | | a BID or an NID, and may appropriate other money to the BID or NID. These funds |
---|
49 | 49 | | must be placed in a segregated account and must be spent on implementing the BID's |
---|
50 | 50 | | or NID's operating plan and paying for certain required audits. Generally, the boards |
---|
51 | 51 | | determine how funds are spent. The creating municipality may also terminate a BID |
---|
52 | 52 | | or an NID by following certain procedures that are specified in the statutes. |
---|
53 | 53 | | Under current law, the state, regional planning commissions, federally |
---|
54 | 54 | | recognized Indian tribes and bands, and local units of government, including |
---|
55 | 55 | | municipalities, counties, school districts, and other special purpose districts, may |
---|
56 | 56 | | enter into intergovernmental cooperation agreements for services or joint exercise |
---|
57 | 57 | | of powers. As part of an intergovernmental cooperation agreement, these units of |
---|
58 | 58 | | government may create a commission to perform the service or exercise the joint |
---|
59 | 59 | | power. |
---|
60 | 60 | | Subject to a number of conditions, this bill authorizes two or more |
---|
61 | 61 | | municipalities to create a single multijurisdictional BID. The conditions include a |
---|
62 | 62 | | requirement that the BID's borders contain contiguous territory in all of the |
---|
63 | 63 | | municipalities that are party to the agreement creating the multijurisdictional BID. |
---|
64 | 64 | | A multijurisdictional BID is governed by a single board whose members are |
---|
65 | 65 | | appointed by the chief executive officers of each of the municipalities that are part |
---|
66 | 66 | | of the multijurisdictional BID and confirmed by the relevant local legislative bodies. |
---|
67 | 67 | | Actions taken by the board that require local legislative body approval, however, |
---|
68 | 68 | | must be approved by the relevant local legislative bodies. |
---|
69 | 69 | | Under the bill, each municipality that is a part of the multijurisdictional BID |
---|
70 | 70 | | must impose, collect, and deposit into its own municipal treasury all special |
---|
71 | 71 | | assessments or other funds that relate to properties that are located within its own |
---|
72 | 72 | | jurisdiction. Also under the bill, each municipality that is a part of the |
---|
73 | 73 | | multijurisdictional BID must provide any required notices to all property owners |
---|
74 | 74 | | whose property is located within its own jurisdiction. |
---|
75 | 75 | | With regard to a BID, current law requires a board that had a cash balance of |
---|
76 | 76 | | less than $300,000 at all times during the prior fiscal year to include a reviewed |
---|
77 | 77 | | financial statement in its public annual report. If the cash balance equals or exceeds |
---|
78 | 78 | | $300,000 at any time during the prior fiscal year, the BID must include an |
---|
79 | 79 | | independent certified audit in its annual report. The reviewed financial statement |
---|
80 | 80 | | must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and |
---|
81 | 81 | | include a review of the financial statement by an independent certified public |
---|
82 | 82 | | accountant. - 3 -2023 - 2024 Legislature |

---|
85 | 85 | | SENATE BILL 572 |
---|
86 | 86 | | Current law requires an NID's board to include an independent certified audit |
---|
87 | 87 | | in its mandatory public annual report describing the current status of the NID, |
---|
88 | 88 | | irrespective of the cash balance in the NID's segregated account. Under this bill, the |
---|
89 | 89 | | financial statement and audit requirements that currently apply to a BID apply in |
---|
90 | 90 | | the same way to an NID. |
---|
91 | 91 | | Finally, for BIDs and NIDs, the bill changes the requirement that certain |
---|
92 | 92 | | notices be sent by certified mail to a requirement that they must be sent by first class |
---|
93 | 93 | | mail. In addition, if a person to whom a notice must be sent owns multiple properties |
---|
94 | 94 | | in the BID or NID, the municipality may fulfill its notice requirements by sending |
---|
95 | 95 | | only one notice to the person. The notice must list all the affected properties or |
---|
96 | 96 | | parcels owned by the person. |
---|
97 | 97 | | For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as |
---|
98 | 98 | | an appendix to this bill. |
