Resolution No. 2013-135 . approving the annual report of the Carisbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District, and continuing the programs and assessments for Fiscal Year 2013-14. EXHIBIT 1 Carlsbad Golf Lodging Business Improvement District (CGLBID) Annual Report 2013-2014 Method of Assessment: The CGLBID includes all hotel businesses in the City of Carisbad that have elected to participate in the district. The assessment shall be levied on all hotel businesses, that have elected to participate in the district, within the City of Carisbad based upon a flat fee of $2.00 per occupied room per night for all transient occupancies as defined in section 3.12.020(7) of the Carisbad Municipal Code. The amount of assessment shall be separately stated from the amount of the rent and other taxes charged, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the operator. The assessment will be remitted monthly, based on $2.00 per occupied room per night in revenues for the previous month. Assessment Funding Purpose: The proceeds of the CGLBID assessment shall be spent to promote golf-related tourism within the boundaries of the CGLBID, as well as marketing related capital improvements such as golf-related signage, golf related equipment and to pay for related administrative costs. 2013-14 Work Plan: The CGLBID was established in January 1, 2013. For the initial period the district, Fiscal Year 2012-2013 (1/1/13-6/30/13), three hotel's opted into the district. Those three hotels; the Sheraton Carisbad, the Park Hyatt Aviara and the Grand Pacific Palisades Hotel, are expected to collect a total of $138,000 in CGLBID Assessments. Each assessed business determines how to spend the funds collected by their respective property provided the expenditures are for an approved golf related expense. Reimbursement of these expenses are made quarterly upon approval from the advisory board up to the amount collected per property minus administrative fees. The administrative fees pay for the collection of assessments and administration of the district. Monies not spent by the end of the fiscal year will carry fonA/ard to the next fiscal year. For Fiscal Year 2013-14, no additional hotels have elected to participate in the district so the district will include the same three hotels as Fiscal Year 2012-13. It is estimated that these three hotels will collect a total of $335,000 in CGLBID assessments. Based on this revenue estimate, the budgeted amount for reimbursement to the hotels is $321,000. This amount plus any carry fonA/ards from the previous fiscal year will be available to the assessed hotels for reimbursement. Administrative fees for Fiscal Year 2013-14 are budgeted at $5,520, which is 4% of the revenues. Detail of the 2013-14 budget is shown on the following page. 2013-14 CGLBID Budget EXHIBIT A Program Areas Description 2012-13 Budget Actuals as of 4/30/2013 Projected 2012-13 Actuals Recommended 2013-14 Budget Carryover Fund Balance $0 0 0 100 Revenues: CGLBID Assessment * Interest Earnings Total Estimated Revenues $2 per room night 138,000 76,938 63 138,000 100 335,000 0 Revenues: CGLBID Assessment * Interest Earnings Total Estimated Revenues 138,000 77,001 138,100 335,000 Expenditures: 2% Admin.
