ENCLOSURES: Certification of BIC Petition
Process
Enclosed is the official certification of the results of the MiMo Business Improvement
Committee's (BIC) petition process to create the MiMo Business Improvement District
(BID).
On Thursday, December 16, 2010 the Commission passed Resolution 10-0559 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 three (3) years, subject to the approval of a
majority of the affected property owners. The MiMo BIC opted to obtain approval of the
affected property owners through a petition process. Per agreement between the MiMo
BIC, the Office of the City Attorney and the Office of the City Clerk, this process included
affidavits and petitions to be filed with the Clerk by 5:00 PM, Friday, May 27, 2011.
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 Friday, May 27, 2011, at 5:00 PM, the agreed upon deadline for the Clerk to have
received affidavits and petitions from owners of the seventy-three (73) affected properties of
the proposed MiMo BID, a total of thirty-nine (39) affidavits had been filed with the Office
of the City Clerk. Of the thirty-nine (39) affidavits filed, only five (5) affidavits were
determined to be properly executed and valid. The number of valid affidavits filed
represented 6.85% of the affected properties within proposed special assessment district and
therefore, did not represent a majority of the affected property owners stipulated by
Resolution 10-0559.
