   2. All parcels included in the District will receive a special benefit from the improvements and activities that are to be provided.
      
      
   3. All parcels will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment would be imposed are those as identified in the Management District Plan.
      
      
   4. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution all assessments are supported by the Engineer’s Report, prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California.
      
      
   5. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and based on the facts and conclusions contained in the Engineer’s Report, the assessment levied on each parcel within the proposed District is proportionate to the special benefit derived from the improvements and activities that are to be provided.
      
      
   6. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and based on the facts and conclusions contained in the Engineer’s Report, the Engineer has separated the general from special benefits. The Engineer's Report identified general benefits in the amount of 1.89 percent to be separated from the special benefits conferred on parcels within the proposed District. The yearly general benefits cost must be paid from funds other than the assessments collected for the Arts District Los Angeles BID. The general benefit cost for first year of operation is $27,733.90.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The Clerk reports that the assessment levied on the 17 City-owned parcels within the District to be paid from the General Fund totals $62,116.94 for the first year of the District. Funding for assessments levied on City owned properties within the District was requested in the 2019-20 Budget. Assessments levied on the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power parcels within the District will not be paid from the General Fund. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the Arts District Los Angeles BID is $27,733.90 (1.89 percent of the total budget) for the first year. However, funds other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for the general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID's five-year term.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the PY 44 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) will provide approximately $28 million to support positions (direct salaries: $13.8 million; expenses including contracts: $5.7 million; and related cost reimbursement: $8.5 million).  For PY 44, the CAO has calculated total related costs to be approximately $9.5 million.  Of this amount, approximately $8.5 million can be funded with CDBG dollars.  This results in a balance of approximately $1 million in related costs that may be considered by Council and Mayor to be potentially funded with a General Fund allocation.  For reference, the previous year’s PY 43 fiscal impact was estimated at $900,000 in related costs paid by the General Fund.  The City’s Financial Policies state that the City will pursue program grants, but will limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments beyond available funding.  It should be noted that Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) 40 is the plan used to calculate related costs for 2018-19, and in many cases, CAP 40 is higher than CAP 39, the rate used to calculate related costs in PY 43.  This may result in a lower proportion of Departmental funds available to pay for direct costs such as salaries and expenses.  It is a policy decision regarding how and at what level the City will contribute City resources, specifically the General Fund, to leverage CDBG grant program activities.
