TOPIC: DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (BID) ASSESSMENT ANNUAL
RENEWAL
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY COUNCIL’S INTENTION TO LEVY AN ANNUAL
ASSESSMENT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025 FOR THE DOWNTOWN SAN RAFAEL
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the 2024 Annual Report and adopt the resolution declaring the City Council’s intention to levy an
annual assessment for the calendar year 2025 for the Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement
District.
BACKGROUND:
Section 36500 of the California Streets and Highways Code allows for the creation of a business
improvement district (BID) within a municipality, whereby businesses within the district self-assess an
annual fee to pay for improvements and activities that benefit the overall business district. The intent of
the state law is to provide a funding mechanism for business districts to promote economic vitality. The
City of San Rafael’s role is to levy and collect membership fees from businesses within the district.
In 1979, businesses in Downtown San Rafael established a BID. This original district included
approximately 125 businesses along Fourth Street between Lincoln Avenue and E Street. In 2013, the
City Council voted to replace it with a larger district of approximately 700 businesses along Fourth Street.
The expanded district includes the West End and some side streets, as well as non-ground floor tenants
and other tenants not included in the original BID. 2024 marks the first complete year of BID
administration by the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce, a transition that started in September 2023.
The BID has achieved many notable accomplishments in 2024 as highlighted in its Annual Report
(Attachment 2), including leveraging a cost-sharing agreement with the Downtown San Rafael Arts
District (DSRAD) to fund storefront beautification projects; a successful 1st Annual “Dancing Under the
Lights” event which brought together music, dancing, art, and local businesses for an evening of
celebration; and yet another successful “Annual Clean and Green Day” (held on Earth Day) which brought
together more than 40 volunteers to help mulch, remove graffiti, pick up litter, and clean parking meters
and poles.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
ANALYSIS:
State law requires the BID to submit to the City Council an annual report for which assessments are to
be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements and activities described in the report. The
report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the parking and business
improvement area or any benefit zones within the area, the basis and method of levying the assessments,
and any changes in the classification of businesses if a classification is used.
Staff reviewed the San Rafael Downtown BID’s 2024 Annual Report and the BID 2025 Budget & 2024
Financial Summary (Exhibit C) and found they meet the required elements as follows:
1.There are no proposed changes in the boundaries of the BID
2.The budget outlines the improvements and activities programmed for the calendar year 2025.
3. The budget outlines the estimated cost of improvement and activities outlined for calendar year
2025.
4.The budget outlines the surplus or deficit being carried over from the previous calendar year.
5.The budget outlines contributions anticipated from sources other than assessments, including
City funds.
As of October 25, 2024, the City of San Rafael collected $63,525 in BID annual assessments for 2024.
For calendar year 2025, the annual assessment levy on businesses will be the same as in prior years.
See Exhibit B to the Annual Report for the 2025 Assessment Formula.
BID Renewal Process: Per State law, to renew the annual assessment, the City Council must first adopt
a Resolution of Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment and set a public hearing for a future date. In
accordance with State law, the annual renewal process for the BID assessment will take place at two
City Council meetings as follows:
Meeting #1 – November 18, 2024
Adopt Resolution of Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment: The City Council will consider action to
accept the BID annual report and adopt the resolution of intention to levy an annual assessment for the
calendar year 2025. The resolution sets a public hearing date of December 16, 2024.
Meeting #2 – December 16, 2024
Public Hearing on Annual Assessment: The City Council will have the opportunity to receive additional
input from the public on the annual BID assessment and to confirm the levy of an assessment for the
upcoming calendar year 2025.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
The BID will notify its members of the annual renewal process through its member communications,
including the BID e-newsletter, notifications on the BID website, and agenda items at the monthly BID
Board meeting. The City will also provide notice of the December 16, 2024, public hearing of the annual
assessment in the Marin Independent Journal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City associated with this action. The 2025 BID Assessment is
anticipated to generate $65,000 which is collected by the City of San Rafael on behalf of the BID and, in
turn, is passed on to the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce, the BID’s managing agent, two times per
year. All administrative costs associated with collecting the assessment are absorbed by the General
Fund.

Dear fellow BID Members.
Last year, we experienced a profound loss with
the passing of our colleague, Jed Greene, who
was not only a valued BID Board member but
also a dear friend to many of us. We extend our
heartfelt condolences to his family during this
difficult time.
2024 has been a year of accomplishments and a
year of firsts. Our accomplishments include:
supporting the growth of the Thursday Night
Summer Farmers Market, amazing volunteers
mulching the intersections of Downtown for
further beautification, and an increase in public
art with vivid artwork on power boxes
throughout downtown.
The BID produced our first Lunar New Year
celebration, our first Pride Art Walk, our first
Juneteenth Happenings Page, and our first
Dancing Under the Lights. As we look ahead to
2025, we will continue to build inclusion within
our whole community. We will explore ideas for
beautification and events to benefit the
downtown, while remaining open to new
opportunities and possibilities.
The BID has completed its first calendar year
partnered with the San Rafael Chamber of
Commerce. I would like to thank Karen Strolia
for her active participation and supporting voice
and standing with us as we turn the pages of
what’s next; together.
Terrance Thornton, President

Dear Friends of Downtown San Rafael,
With less than $60k in our operating budget, I strive to
produce events and promotions that either raise money or
pay for themselves to make sure we have a robust calendar
of activity downtown. This year, we saw an array of brand-
new festivities that brought vibrancy, art, and community to
our downtown –Chinese New Year Dragon Hunt, Pride
Month window paintings, the Juneteenth Happenings page
on our website, and Dancing Under the Lights. I am hoping
that these 1st annuals become staples in our Downtown
schedule of promotions for years to come.
Additionally, upcoming public art plans and our 2nd Annual
Mulching Project will help make the downtown area more
visually appealing for everyone. For the second year, our
social media contractor has been vital in making sure that
our businesses are highlighted and that Downtown is a
destination location to eat, shop, and play. Our website
continues to be the place to learn about all things
downtown, especially now with its newly added community
calendar.
I want to extend my thanks to Karen Strolia, CEO San Rafael
Chamber, for a delightful first year of partnership. Also, to
the City of San Rafael for their support this past year in
helping make many of our projects a reality. And a special
thank you goes to our Board —your voice and passion for
Downtown has been crucial in getting things done!
Looking ahead, I am interested to see how the discussions
surrounding the Community Benefit District (CBID) unfold,
as it could hold more potential for the future of downtown.
Here’s to building on the momentum of 2024 -focusing on
strengthening our existing events and beautification
programs and creating even more opportunities for our
downtown to thrive in the years to come!
