NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. It is the intention of the City Council to
disestablish the business improvement district and related tax set
forth in Chapter 5.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
3. The reason for the disestablishment of the business
improvement district and tax is that the city has received a
number of complaints by taxpayers within the district expressing
dissatisfaction with having to pay the additional tax; the
Downtown Business Association voted not to oppose disestablishment
of the district; and the response to a survey of 250 taxpayers
(145 responses were received) within the district showed that 87%
favored discontinuance of the business improvement district tax.
4. Upon disestablishment, it is proposed that any
assets of the district acquired with the revenues of assessments
levied within the business improvement district be sold as surplus
city property, with any funds therefrom to be distributed to those
taxpayers who paid the assessment in the current fiscal year, by
the same method used to calculate the assessment.
5. This Council hereby sets WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15,
1992, at 7:00 P.M., at the Council Chanfoers of the City Council,
1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California, as the time and
place for the public hearing on the disestablishment of the
business improvement district and related matters.
