Pursuant to the Public Health and Safety Code, staff has also prepared a draft agreement for Administration of the CVTMD between the Chamber of Commerce and the City for the City Council's review and consideration. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a Project as defined under Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines; therefore pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus no environmental review is necessary. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CHULA VISTA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ACTING AS THE DESIGNATED OWNERS' ASSOCIATION FOR THE CHULA VISTA TOURISM AND MARKETING DISTRICT, AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS DESCRIBED IN THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLAN DIRECTOR OF ECO IC DEVELOPMENT CITY MANAGE ~5-1 Item No• ~5 Meeting Date: 11-15-11 Page 2 of 5 RECOMMENDATION That City Council accept the report and adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Background On July 14 2009, the City Council, Mayor Cox, Deputy Mayor Ramirez, Councilmember Bensoussan and Councilmember Castaneda unanimously adopted the resolution 4-0 that established the Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District (CVTMD). Typically, a TMD would invest in marketing and promotion to attract additional visitors to local hotels and motels. A TMD might also market opportunities for those visitors to use the products and services of additional local businesses all of which contribute to local business prosperity, the creation of jobs and a sustainable local economy that funds local community services. According to the California Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Streets and Highways Code Sections 36600, through section 36671, (the "PBID Law") Business Improvement District (BID) Owners' Associations are required to prepare and submit an annual report to the City Council for each year following the first fiscal year of operation of a BID to outline the "improvements and activities," proposed by the TMD in the upcoming year. The CVTMD is in its third year of operation. The Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, acting as the Owners' Association for the CVTMD, has created an annual report (Attachment A) and tonight will deliver the report. An earlier version of the report was delivered to City staff back in June. In response to questions posed by staff and City Council, staff has requested that the TMD Owners' Association include more information regarding the operations, strategic goals and objectives, and a financial report of the CVTMD (Attachment B), as part of the required report to the City Council. Staff has also worked with the TMD Owners' Association to expand Section 2 of the Annual Report to provide City Council and the public with more detail on the goals of the Plan and their progress in attaining those goals. A more formal agreement between the City and the Chamber for TMD management was also required, as more specifically described below. Pursuant to the PBID Law, the City Council may approve the report as filed by the Owners' Association or may modify any section contained in the report and approve it as modified. If the City Council chooses to modify the report, it must comply with the PBID Law public hearing process. Specifically, the Council must: (i) adopt a resolution of intention stating the proposed modifications; (ii) publish the resolution in a newspaper of general circulation; (iii) mail a copy of the resolution to each business or property owner affected by the proposed modifications; and (iv) hold a public hearing within 90 days after the resolution is adopted. If the modification includes a levy of a new or increased assessment, the Council must comply with more comprehensive notice, protest and 15-2 Item No• ~' Meeting Date: 11-15-11 Page 3 of 5 hearing procedures, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 36623 and Government Code section 54954.6. Those procedures include a majority protest process, generally providing that, if written protests are received from business owners in the district that will pay 50 percent or more of the proposed assessments, the increased assessment shall not be imposed. Under the CVTMD, an assessment of 2.5% is levied on short-term gross room rental revenues for lodging businesses for each day of lodging up to 30 days. All hotels and motels in the City that serve transient occupancies of up to 30 days are subject to the assessment. The CVTMD originally consisted of 23 motel/hotel properties. One property has recently converted to apartments and is no longer part of the District. Any new lodging businesses opening subsequent to the formation of the CVTMD will also be subject to the assessment charges. Currently, there are no new motel/hotels planned at this time. A list of all motel/hotels is included as (Attachment C). The CVTMD funds "activities" such as advertising in local and regional publications, participation in professional industry conferences, development of the Convention and Visitors Bureau website and e-newsletter, and the staffing and operation of the Visitor Center. The CVTMD may also fund improvements such as enhancements or changes to the visitor center, signs or other physical structures that contribute to the marketing of the District. Chamber's Report on TMD Finances and Operations For the first year of the CVTMD (Fiscal Year 2010), the total assessments collected totaled $315,442. During this period, the City collected approximately $2.03 million in Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT). The Fiscal Year 2011 CVTMD budget was projected to be $390,406, and actual revenues and expenditures were $414,347. TOT revenue for the City was approximately $2.05 million. The increase in CVTMD revenue was attributed to the efforts of the CVTMD and the improvement in the overall economy. The relationship between TOT revenues based on 10% and TMD at 2.5% is not exactly a 4:1 ratio because there are a few facilities such as Recreational Vehicle parks that are subject to TOT but not TMD. For Fiscal Year 2012, the CVTMD budget is $412,823. The TMD Owners' Association and the City anticipate that room nights and average daily room rates will be relatively consistent with the current year. The CVTMD provides for the opportunity to establish a bond to invest TMD funds generated by facilities in Zone 2 (West of I 5), and Zone 3 (Eastern Urban Center - "Millennia") in infrastructure, (Zone Map, Attachment D). There is only one TMD- generating facility in Zone 2 and none in Zone 3. This component of the Plan represents a significant opportunity that should be addressed when TMD facilities are being proposed for these Zones, particularly when the funds can be applied to infrastructure in the areas that help secure the attraction of a quality facility that complements the community's goals. If Council chooses to establish bonds 2% of the 2.5% TMD assessment from hotels and motels in those Zones would be obligated to pay the assessment until the bond debt is retired. Under those circumstances, the hotel/motels not the Chamber of Commerce acting as the Owners' Association are obligated to make 15-3 Item No: Meeting Date: 11-15-11 Page 4 of 5 those payments. If the marketing arm of the District were to disestablish; there would be no obligation by the Chamber of Commerce, acting as the Owner's Association regarding the bond payments, that obligation would remain with the hotel/motels. Proposed Agreement with the TMD Owners' Association The CVTMD is a public financing mechanism proposed, developed and administered by the private sector, specifically by the motel and hotel operators that make up the members of the business improvement district and appointed the Chamber as their Owners' Association. The PBID Law provides for the City to enter into an agreement with the PBID Owners' Association. The TMD Plan adopted by the Hotel and Motel owners identifies the Chamber of Commerce as the Owners' Association. Council unanimously approved the formation of the CVTMD under the Plan that was presented by the Chamber of Commerce and hotel and motel operators in July 2009 (Attachment E). The Chamber has been the Owners' Association since the TMD was formed however, to date, the City and the Chamber have not entered into a formal, written agreement with respect to the services and duties of the Owners' Association. Staff has been in negotiations with the Chamber representatives regarding the terms of such an agreement for the past few months. Tonight, staff is requesting that the City Council approve the proposed Agreement, between the City and the Chamber of Commerce acting as the Owners' Association to administer the improvements and activities described in that Plan. The Agreement formalizes the relationship between the City and the Owners' Association established through the CVTMD Plan that was approved by Council in July 2009. The Agreement provides for minimum levels of insurance, indemnification, compliance with local, state and federal regulations, taxes, employment regulations and an independent audit. The proposed Agreement also provides for an Administration Fee to fund the City Finance Department's costs to perform TMD operations related to the collection and transmittal of CVTMD taxes collected by the City to the Owners' Association, collection follow-up, the annual review of the report to City Council, response to public information requests, and responding to inquiries from the Owners' Association and other parties. Staff and the Owners' Association have mutually agreed that an annual independent audit of the TMD will be conducted in each year, beginning next year for this fiscal year. As a result, the proposed Agreement before Council includes the requirement of an annual independent audit. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Beginning in January of this fiscal year, the TMD Owners' Association will be reimbursing the City for the operational costs of assisting the TMD with collecting and remitting TMD fees from local hotels and motels at a rate of approximately $6,300 for the remainder of the fiscal year. Therefore as a result of this action there will be a small positive fiscal impact to the City's general fund in this current fiscal year. Since the i5-4 ~-^° Item No: ~ ~ Meeting Date: 11-15-11 Page 5 of 5 CVTMD was established, the TOT revenue in the last reportable fiscal year 2010 has increased by approximately $200,000. Additionally, the public-private partnership between the Chamber of Commerce/CVTMD and the City has made it possible to retain a senior graphic designer that serves both agencies and helps maintain a high quality and consistency of message design at a lower annual cost to each agency. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT As a result of this action, the City will be reimbursed for any costs associated with collecting and remitting TMD fees through the remaining term of the TMD Plan. Therefore, there will be a small positive fiscal impact to the City's General Fund over the next three years. Furthermore, a successful CVTMD effort will foster a higher occupancy rate that will in turn generate greater Transient Occupancy Taxes, as well as sales tax increases and local jobs creation associated with higher volume of visitor stays and purchases during those stays. Therefore, an increasingly successful CVTMD would result in a positive impact to the General Fund in future fiscal years. ATTACHMENTS A. Chula Vista Tourism and Marketing District Annual Report B.

This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to improve tourism and drive additional room nights. Location: The proposed CVTMD includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of the city of Chula Vista. Services: Marketing and sales promotions to increase tourism and to market Chula Vista as a tourist, meeting and event destination. Budget: The total CVTMD budget for year one of its five (5) year operation is a base of approximately $650,000. Cost: Annual assessment rates are 2.5% of gross short term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue on lodging businesses. The District shall have three zones. Zone 1 shall include the area of Chula Vista east of Interstate 5 with the exception of the Eastern Urban Center. Zone 2 shall include all hotels and motels west of Interstate 5. Zone 3 shall include all hotels and motels in the Eastern Urban Center. The Eastern Urban Center is bound by State Route 125 to the west, Birch Road to the north, Eastlake Parkway to the east and the future extension of Hunte Parkway to the south. Bonds may be issued in Zone 2 and Zone 3. In Zone 1, the monies collected from the special assessment will go to the Owners' Association. In Zone 2 and Zone 3, 2.0% of the 2.5% collected will go towards capital improvements, and the remaining 0.5% will go to Owners' Association. At the Council's discretion, this 2% in assessments collected in Zones 2 and 3 may be used to repay a capital infrastructure bond if Council chooses to issue bonds. Until and unless bonds are issued in Zones 2 and 3, any funds collected in these zones will go to the CVCC and used in the same way as monies collected in Zone 1. Lodging business stays of 31 or more consecutive days shall not be assessed. Based on the benefit received, stays at RV parks and campgrounds within the Boundaries of the CVTMD shall not be assessed. Formation: TMD formation requires submittal of petitions .from lodging businesses representing more than 50% of the total annual assessment followed by a City Council hearing and an opportunity for a written protest. The assessed lodging business owners will receive notice of the public hearing by mail. If there is a majority written protest, the TMD will not be formed. Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan Page 2 15-24 Duration: The proposed District CVTMD will have afive-year life. The assessments used to repay bond debt shall have a term of 30 years. The CVTMD assessment will be implemented beginning July 15, 2009. Once per year there is a 30 day period in which owners paying more than 50% of the assessment may protest and terminate the district. Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan Page 3 15-25 ., V~.&r ~~~)>9.~3. 9r~A.'~•~~1"~Tt.~~ ~o.~~S'~~~.5. ~6..3.~ iy..~L~ 'V 1. i. A$:~ There are several reasons why now is the right time to form a Tourism Marketing District in Chula Vista; the most compelling reasons are as follows: 1. The Need to Increase Occupancy The formation of the CVTMD is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding beyond that provided by the City of Chula Vista. The funding ensures the CVCC and the CVCVB have adequate financing for the investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and reach competitive in the conference segment of the tourism market. The investment will cover an expanded marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment. 2. An Opportunity,for Increasing City Tux Revenues As occupancy rates increase, so too will the City's TOT revenue. With stable public/private funding for the CVCC and the CVCVB, annual occupancy rates should increase significantly as the new marketing and sales promotion programs are implemented. Greater occupancy will also produce an increase in sales tax revenues from tourist spending. This represents a substantial return to the City. The formation of a CVTMD in partnership with the CVCC and the CVCVB creates a stable funding source tied directly to tourism promotion 3. The Ability to Grow the Economy without SubstantiaC Development The CVCC and the CVCVB expect to achieve the above levels of revenue growth without a proportionate increase in the "footprint" of the tourism industry infrastructure. Little or no development should be required to raise average occupancy rates. Any development required to raise occupancy rates even more should be relatively minor in scope compared to the existing facilities. 4. The Opportunity to Fund Infrastructure West of Highway S and within tlxe Eastern Urban Center The CVTMD will utilize 2% of the total gross revenues to repay a capital infrastructure bond. These bond monies will be used to construct needed improvements west of Interstate 5 and within the Eastern Urban Center. Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan Page 4 15-2~ Tourism Marketing Districts (TMDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism districts. Tourism Marketing Districts allow lodging and tourism-related business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Tourism-related business owners within the district fund a TMD, and those funds are used to provide services that the businesses desire and that benefit the lodging businesses within the District. Tourism Marketing District services may include, but are not limited to: - Operation of the Chula Vista Visitor Information Center - Marketing of the Area - Tourism Promotion Activities - Sales Lead Generation - Infrastructure Financing In California, Tourism Marketing Districts are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (PBID Law). This law allow for the creation of a special benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key d~erence between TMDs and other special benef t assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non profit corporation governing the district. There are many benefits to Tourism Marketing Districts: - Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; - Tourism Marketing Districts are customized to fit the needs of each tourism district; - They allow for a wide range of services, including those listed above; - Tourism Marketing Districts are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; - The statute requires petition support from lodging businesses paying over 50% of the annual proposed assessments; - They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion. The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (AB 3754), as amended January 1, 2009, is provided in Appendix 1 of this document. Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan Page 5 15-27 The Chula Vista TMD will include all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the city of Chula Vista. The boundary currently includes 23 lodging business. Please see the map below. A larger map is available on request by calling (619) 420-6603. ~~ , 4 ~4,.. .

Assessment The Tourism Marketing District annual assessment rates are based upon 2.5% of gross short term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue per night for hotels or motels. Lodging business stays of 31 or more consecutive days shall not be assessed. Based on benefits received, stays at RV parks and campgrounds within the boundaries of the CVTMD shall not be assessed. Bonds may be issued. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. B. .Determination of Special Benefit State law provides that the expenses of the district shall be apportioned in proportion to the benefit received by assessed businesses. A special benefit is defined as a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on the public at large. Conversely, a general benefit is a benefit to businesses in the surrounding community or a benefit to the public in general resulting from the improvement, activity or service to be provided by the assessment levied. Many general benefits to the public at large are conveyed by municipal services, such as fire protection, police services and public transit services. These services are targeted to serve the public at large and do not confer special benefits on particular businesses. The services in this Management District Plan are designed to provide targeted services to lodging businesses. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, but rather to serve the specific lodging businesses within the District, e.g., the proposed activities are specifically targeted to increase room nights for assessed lodging businesses within the' boundaries of the District, and are narrowly tailored. TMD funds will be used exclusively to benefit the assesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenue are lodging business services creating special benefit to those businesses. In addition, these activities are not for the benefit of the general public and do not provide general benefit as defined above. All general benefits (if any) to the surrounding community and general public are intangible and unquantifiable. It is appropriate that these special business-related benefits be funded through business assessments. C. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments The CVTMD assessment will be implemented beginning July 15, 2009 and will continue for five years. The assessments used to repay bond debt shall have a term of 30 years. The City of Chula Chula Vista Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan Page 7 15-29 Vista will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located iri that the boundaries of the TMD. Assessments shall be collected monthly and the City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. The City of Chula Vista shall forward the assessments to the CVCC which will have the responsibility to manage the TMD programs as provided in the Management District Plan. D. Service Plan Budget and Programs to be Provided: Service Plan Budget Summary- Calendar Years 2009-2014 The summary of the calendar year 2009 (year one) service plan budget for the CVTMD is provided on the following pages. The total five year improvement and service plan budget is projected at approximately $650,000 annually, or $3.25 million through 2014. E. Annual Service Plan: A service plan budget has been developed to deliver service levels throughout the District. An annual service plan and budget will be developed and approved by the CVCC Board. Please see the budget exhibit below. The budget also includes a portion for contingencies and renewal of the District. Should the CVCC Board approve, funds may be appropriated for the renewal effort. If there are funds remaining at the end of the District term and lodging .businesses choose to renew, these remaining funds could be transferred to the renewed District. If there are funds remaining at the end of the District and lodging businesses choose not to renew, any remaining funds will be spent consistent with this Plan.

(b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of the business districts of its cities in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow cities to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that benefits from those improvements.

This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
