FIN Public Hearing on Formation ofthe Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business improvement District (CGLBID) CITY ATTY. j^rSSg. CITY MGR. ?fL. RECOMMENDED ACTION; 1. Hold the public hearing on the formation of the Carisbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District (CGLBID). 2. After receiving comments from the public, call for written protests to be filed with the City Cleric. 3. If protests represent less than a majority of the proposed assessment, introduce Ordinance No. CS-194 fomfiing the Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District. If protests represent a majority of the proposed assessment, no further action should be taken for one year. ITEM EXPLANATION; Background: For almost 50 years the City of Carisbad financially supported community promotion and visitor services as a way to develop tourism and assist Carisbad visitors. Then in 2005, the City was approached by the Carlsbad Convention and Visitor's Bureau and Carlsbad hoteliers about the fomiation of a Carisbad Tourism Business Improvement District (CTBID) as allowed under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Streets and Highway Code section 36500 et seq.) The proposal to fomi the CTBID was based on the concept of collecting an assessment of $1.00 per room night from all hotel operators within the City to fund and support tourism promotion activities. The assessment would be passed through to the hotel guest as opposed to being paid directly from the hotel's operating revenues The levy would be imposed on all existing and future hotels. On November 15, 2006 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-778, establishing the CTBID, and setting the boundaries, levy, and establishing an advisory board to provide oversight and recommendations to the City Council. The effective date for the CTBID was January 1,2006. In April of this year. Grand Pacific Palisades Hotel and the Carisbad Sheraton which are both part of Grand Pacific Resorts (GPR), proposed formation of a new voluntary business improvement district for Carisbad, to be called the Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District (CGLBID). The purpose of the CGLBID would be to promote golf- related overnight stays at participating hotels in Carisbad. This district would be separate from the existing CTBID. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Cheryl Gertiardt, 760-602-2430. Cheryl.gerhardt@carslbadca.gov FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY. COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED • DENIED • WITHDRAWN • AMENDED • CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF COUNCIL RECEIVED THE REPORT/PRESENTATION OTHER-SEE MINUTES • • • • Introduced Ord. CS-194 Page 2 Like the CTBID, the creation of CGLBID would be formed under Section 36500 of the California Streets and Highways Code (known as Parking and Business Improvement District Area Law of 1989). The GPR proposal was presented to Council at the July 10, 2012 Council meeting, and Council directed staff to bring back the Resolution of Intention (ROI), declaring the Council's intention to establish the CGLBID. CGLBID Proposal: The proposed CGLBID would be voluntary to lodging properties in the City of Carisbad. These properties would have until May 1 of each year to opt in to the district for the following fiscal year. Members that opt in would be assessed $2.00 per occupied room night to be paid to the city monthly through the current Transient Occupancy Tax collection process. The assessment would be passed through to the hotel guest as opposed to being paid directly from the hotel operating revenues. These funds would be used to promote golf-related overnight stays at participating hotels in Carisbad. Each assessed business would determine how to spend the funds collected by their respective property provided the expenditures are for an approved golf related expense. Reimbursement of these expenses would be made quarterly upon approval from the advisory board up to the amount collected per property minus a 4 percent administrative fee. Hotels requesting to opt in for the initial year of the district are the Grand Pacific Palisades, the Sheraton Carisbad and the Park Hyatt Aviara. It is estimated that these three properties will generate $330,000 in annual assessment revenue for the new district. On September 11, 2012, the City Council approved the Resolution of Intention (ROI), to declare their intention of establishing the Carisbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District. On September 25, 2012, the City Council held a public meeting at which staff provided an overview of the CGLBID for the Council and public. No public comments were received at the meeting. CGLBID Formation Process: Public Hearing: On November 6, 2012, the City Council will hold a Public Hearing on the CGLBID. The purpose of the Public Hearing is for the City Council to take testimony of all interested persons for or against the establishment of the CGLBID, the extent of the areas for inclusion in the assessment, or the types of activities proposed for funding from the assessment. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, a protest vote is conducted. A protest vote against the establishment of the CGLBID, the extent of the area, or the proposed activities must be in writing, and may only be accepted ifthe person signing is the business owner of record, or an authorized representative. If at the conclusion of the Public Hearing, there are protests by the owners of the businesses within the CGLBID that will pay fifty percent (50 percent) or more of the total assessments of the entire CGLBID, no further proceedings to create the CGLBID shall occur for a period of one-year from the date of the protest vote. If a majority of the written protests are related to a proposed activity of the CGLBID, the n that activity shall not be included in the CGLBID. If there are no protest votes in excess of the 50 percent requirement, then the City Council may create the CGLBID. CGLBID Advisorv Committee: The Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, requires an Advisory Board to be appointed by the City Council. The Council may act as its own Advisory Board, appoint an existing board, or select other individuals to serve in that Page 3 capacity. The CGLBID Advisory Board would be required to submit an annual report, which would include any proposed changes in the boundaries, assessment formula, estimated cost of conducting activities, the amount of surplus/deficit revenues to be carried over, contributions and other items of interest to the CGLBID for the upcoming year. The report may be approved as presented or amended by the City Council. Once the report has been approved for the upcoming year, the City Council adopts a resolution of intention to levy an annual assessment for the upcoming year. There is no need to conduct a public hearing if there is no proposed increase in assessments, for the upcoming year. (Streets and Highways Code § 36536(d). FISCAL IMPACT: The amount of revenue collected by the district will depend on the number of hotels that opt in to the district. Revenue estimates that include the hotels that have opted into the district for the initial year and include the Sheraton Carisbad, the Grand Pacific Palisades Hotel, and the Park Hyatt Aviara are $330,000. Administrative fees that would be paid to the city for collection and administration would be approximately $13,200 (4 percent). The remaining $316,800 would be available to the hotels to promote golf related overnight stays. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.

SHERRY FREISINGER, Senior Deputy Clerk August 15, 2012 Hotel Name/Address PROPOSED FORMATION OF A VOLUNTARY CARLSBAD GOLF LODGING BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRia The Carisbad City Council has been asked by local hotels to initiate formation of a voluntary Carisbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District. You are receiving this letter because your business is eligible to choose to be included in the proposed district. Participation in this new district is voluntarily, and will not impact the existing Carisbad Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). However, you will be required to pay the assessments as explained below once you join and the district is approved. The proposed district would raise funds for golf-related marketing efforts to drive room night sales associated with overnight golf course visitation. The authorized expenditures would be limited to: joint web, radio, print and television marketing of hotels and golf courses; golf-related equipment specifically used to promote overnight visitation; promotional signage; and other items specifically designed to drive golf-related overnight stays and other golf-related expenditures approved by the City Council or the District Board. The new district would operate much like the current TBID, but would not impact the existing district. Businesses which voluntarily elect to participate in this new district would be assessed at a rate of $2.00 per occupied paid room per night, which may be passed on to the guest at the hotel's discretion. The assessment would be collected by the City and overseen by an advisory board including representatives from lodging and golf businesses. Voluntarily participating businesses would submit golf-marketing-related expenditures to the advisory board for review, which expenditures would ultimately be approved by the City Council. Businesses not participating in the district would not be eligible to participate in or benefit from the marketing programs. That is to say, the boundaries ofthe district will be city-wide but only those hotels that have elected to join will participate. The district will be implemented for a one-year term. Businesses voluntarily choosing to participate will be included for two years. Thereafter, the district must be renewed and businesses will have a chance to again voluntarily opt in or out should the district be renewed. The initial two years ofthe District are intended to be a pilot program; after two years the district assessment and parameters will be re-evaluated for effectiveness. CGLBID Letter/8-15/12 Page 2 If you wish to participate in the Carisbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District, please return the enclosed opt-in form to the City Clerk's Office at the address shown on the form. If you do not return the form, your business will not be included as an assessee or be required to vote for the formation ofthe district. Forms must be post-marked no later than September 15,2012 to be included in the District. A city council hearing process to form the district will follow in September and October; businesses electing to participate will receive notice ofthe hearings by mail.
