DISCUSSION: The BID was formed as an assessment district of the City of San Rafael for the businesses fronting Fourth Street between E and Lincoln and some of the side streets. It includes retail businesses and excludes financial institutions, service businesses and professionals. The BID's purpose is to revitalize and promote the downtown business area and they do this through community events and downtown 1plarketing. The BID also serves informally as a downtown merchant association, as it brings together merchants and professional people to increase economic activity for all in the downtown and make the downtown a fun, safe and friendly place. The BID board is an advisory board to the San Rafael City Council regarding the recommended expenditures for the funds collected each year. The City Council should therefore take formal action to appoint its Board members. The BID Board members and officers listed below have been voted into place by the BID members at their June 5, 2009 meeting, with all terms expiring June 30, 2011. The BID Board usually consists of 15 members, so as more vacancies are filled, staff will return to City Council for appointment of the additional Board members.
