Speaker 7: The big, you know, marketing and business improvement area, also known as the Business Improvement District, was established by the City Council in 1989, allowing for the levy of an annual business license assessment to be paid by businesses located in the district. The city contracts with the Bixby North Business Improvement Association to manage the district and the Bixby North Business Improvement Association's Board of Directors serves as the advisory board for the City Council on matters related to the District. State law governing this district requires an annual report be approved by the City Council, and your report describes boundaries, propose activities and budgetary information as well as the method and basis for the continuation of the assessment. The annual report proposes no changes to the district boundaries or the method of leaving the assessment. The proposed activities will focus on events, member outreach, business retention and recruitment and marketing and branding to continue the levy. The assessment state law requires that a public hearing be held on the proposed program and assessment at its October 15, 2019 meeting. The City Council approved a resolution granting approval of the annual report, declaring the intention of the City Council to levy the assessment and set today as the date of public hearing. City Council shall here and consider all protests from area businesses against the assessment program and boundaries of the area as proposed in the new report. This concludes my staff report. I am happy to answer any questions.
