Subject:
Commercial Business Improvement District on Washington Avenue and Lincoln
Road
Administrative Recommendation
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the budget for the
Commercial Business Improvement Districts on Washington Avenue and Lincoln Road, establish
these Districts, and call for the election to be held in these Districts.
Back~ound
The Washington Avenue Business Improvement District and the Lincoln Road Business
Improvement District will achieve a degree of cooperation almost as great as a consolidation of these
two districts would create. These two districts plan to be mainly marketing and management districts
and to provide the enhanced services to their property owners. Washington A venue will continue
to provide the enhanced services to its property owners and provide the baseline services for street
and sidewalk cleaning plus contract with the Lincoln Road District to provide both the basic and
enhanced services in the Lincoln Road area.
The patrol of the two streets will be operated in the same manner as is currently achieved with the
City and the Districts using uniformed police officers for patrol. However, the street and sidewalk
cleaning will be provided entirely by the District, with the District assuming the City's baseline cost
as a part of its budget. The landscape maintenance on Lincoln Road, at the completion of
construction, will be undertaken by contract with the Washington Avenue District. The landscape
maintenance on Washington will continue to be provided by both the City and the District.

Analysis
The budget for these Business Improvement Districts (Washington Avenue and Lincoln Road) will
reflect the services to be provided to these Districts. These budgets will decrease from the 1995/96
amount of $2,328,346 to the 1996/97 amount of $2,014,402 (see attached). The total City cost will
decline by $335,944 with the resort tax funding declining by $440,944. The difference in these two
cost reduction numbers is an estimate of $105,000 included in the City baseline costs for 1996/97
for landscape maintenance on Lincoln Road for the nine months that the project is anticipated to be
completed this fiscal year.
This budget is for a one-year period and does not include a provision for an extension. The
Administration anticipates that next fiscal year these districts will be reconstituted as marketing
districts only.
Conclusion
As this plan for these Commercial Business Improvement Districts achieves the b,enefits of
consolidation, the Mayor and City Commission should establish the Districts, approve the budgets
of these Districts and call for the elections in the Districts.
