Thompson, CMC V REFERENCES : City Clerk ENCLOSURES: Certification of the second Petition Process Enclosed is the official certification of the results of the second MiMo Business Improvement Committee's petition process to create the MiMo Business Improvement District. On Thursday, April 22, 2010 the Commission passed Resolution 10-0170 establishing a special assessment district to be known as the MiMo BID and authorizing the levy and collection of a special assessment for a period of five (5) years, subject to the approval of a majority of the affected property owners. For a second time, the MiMo BIC opted to obtain approval of the affected property owners through a petition process. Per agreement between the MiMo BIC, the City Attorney and the City Clerk, this second process included affidavits to be filed with the Clerk by 5:00 pm, Friday, October 29, 2010 and petitions to be filed with the Clerk also no later than 5:00 pm on Friday October 29, 2010. The MiMo BIC mailed affected property owners within the MiMo area packets of information including: general information about business improvement districts and the MiMo area; the assessment roll; blank affidavits; and petitions and filing instructions. On October 29, 2010 at 5:00 P.M., the agreed upon deadline for the Clerk to have received affidavits from owners of the one hundred and fifteen (115) affected properties of the proposed MiMo BID, a total of thirty-one (31) affidavits had been filed with the Office of the City Clerk. The number of affidavits filed represented 26.9% of the affected properties within proposed special assessment district and therefore did not represent a majority of the affected property owners stipulated by Resolution 10-0170. c : Carlos A.
