   1. The petitions submitted on behalf of the proponents of the proposed Encino Commons BID are signed by property owners who will pay more than 50 percent of the assessments proposed to be levied.
      
      
   2. All parcels included in the BID 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 BID 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 1.8186 percent to be separated from the special benefits conferred on parcels within the proposed BID. The yearly general benefits cost must be paid from funds other than the assessments collected for the Encino Commons BID. The general benefit cost for first year of operation is $2,407.
      
      
   7. No publicly owned parcel is exempt from assessment.

   9. The services to be provided by the Owners’ Association are in the nature of professional, expert, technical or other special services, that the services are of a temporary and occasional character, and that the use of competitive bidding would be impractical, not advantageous, undesirable or where the common law otherwise excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements.
      
      
   10. The proposed improvements and activities are completely separate from the day-to-day operations of the City.

9. REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the City Clerk, to prepare an enabling Ordinance establishing the Encino Commons BID for Council consideration at the conclusion of the required public hearing.
   
   
10. FIND that the FY 2020 Annual Planning Report for the BID attached to the City Clerk report dated January 22, 2020, attached to the Council file, complies with the requirements of the State Law.

12. ADOPT said FY 2020 Annual Planning Report for the BID, pursuant to the State Law.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Clerk reports that there are no assessments for City-owned properties within the BID, therefore there is no impact on the General Fund. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the BID is $2,407 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 nine-year term.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
