RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Ordinance confirming the Downtown Culver City Business Improvement District (DCCBID) 2027 Annual Work Plan and Levy of Assessments (Attachment 1).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

The DCCBID renewal process is governed by the California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 36500-36551 (the Law). In accordance with the process prescribed therein, on September 28, 2026, the City Council approved the 2027 DCCBID Annual Work Plan and Budget (Attachment 2) and adopted a Resolution of Intent to conduct a public hearing to consider continuation of the DCCBID program and to allow public testimony regarding the levy of assessments for calendar year 2027.

On October 13, 2026, the Culver City Council conducted a public hearing to consider continuation of the DCCBID program, allow public testimony and introduced an Ordinance for adoption.

The Ordinance is being presented to City Council for adoption. The assessments authorized by adoption of this Ordinance will become effective on January 1, 2027.

The proposed 2027 DCCBID Annual Work Program includes:

•                     Marketing and promotional activities;

•                     Decoration and beautification; and,

•                     Supplemental maintenance of the BID area in accordance with the Law.

DCCBID assessments are collected by the City and disbursed to the Downtown Business Association (DBA), which manages the DCCBID Work Program in accordance with the Management Agreement (Attachment 3) between the City and the Downtown Business Association (DBA).

FISCAL ANALYSIS

There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to the approval of the DCCBID Work Plan or the levy of assessments.  City expenses attributable to the collection and distribution of DCCBID assessments and to staff time spent preparing and presenting the two required staff reports are offset by the City’s two percent (2%) administrative fee included in the Management Agreement between the City and the DBA.
