It is a signal that positive change is coming. In order for change to happen, it is vital for property owners between 65th and 82nd Street become involved and aware of the positive actions taking place that will create a BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (BID) on the Boulevard. The boundary is an initial study area. The final product will be to draw a boundary approved by the property owners with in. The purpose of a BID is to clean, secure and promote the Biscayne Boulevard's commercial district. In December 2008, a MIMO BIC STEERING COMMITTEE (BIC) formed to include property owners, business owners, city staff, a consulting team and neighborhood residents. The Steering Committee meets on a regular basis. Their goal is to understand the needs on the Boulevard; to educate property owners and the public about the benefits of a BID; and to finalize the BID's boundaries. To date, we have incorporated the MIMO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE, Inc. for this purpose. We have approved a mission statement for the District; we have met with various city departments to determine a base line of services currently provided by the city for security, sanitation and promotion; and we have studied various boundary configurations to include in the BID. The City of Miami has allocated funds for MiMo BIC, Inc. to hire a Director. The Director will work full-time with property owners to bring the BID to fruition. At our last meeting, we explored the above -referenced boundary to begin an INITIAL STUDY AREA. The concept will need to be voted upon by the property owners in the area once the needs of the district are assessed and the costs are considered.
