EconomicImpacts
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
End
EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations: Under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the continuing administrative activities of BIAs and creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from review [14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15378(b)(2), (b)(4)].

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended actions will establish the budget for assessment expenditures, ensuring that funds collected for each BIA via business-based assessments are used for the intended purpose, which is to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of the BIA areas, in an effort to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent erosion of existing businesses.
End
FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: The proposed expenditures are supported by assessments imposed on each business within each BIA. Under the “classification of businesses and charges imposed” section of each respective BIA City Code chapter (except for the Sutter BIA chapter), BIAs are allowed an annual increase of the minimum and maximum assessments imposed based on the most recently available Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The most recent CPI - All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco Area data shows that the percentage increase in the CPI between February 2025 and February 2026 is 2.5%. Accordingly, assessments imposed for the Del Paso Boulevard, Downtown Plaza, Franklin Boulevard, Old Sacramento, and Stockton Boulevard BIAs will increase by 2.5% effective July 1, 2026, as shown in the BIA Assessments Schedule included as Attachment 3 to this report. The Sutter BIA assessments do not increase annually because City Code Chapter 3.106 does not provide an annual increase for inflation. The annual increase of assessments for the Del Paso Boulevard, Franklin Boulevard, Stockton Boulevard, and Old Sacramento BIAs cannot exceed more than 10%, while the annual increase of assessments for the Downtown Plaza BIA cannot exceed more than 5%.
The City collects the BIA assessments at the time the business operations tax is paid. The assessments are then forwarded to the respective Advisory Board authorized by Council to conduct promotion of the BIA. The proposed BIA expenditures are fully supported by the assessments. Collection costs are absorbed by the City.
Individual BIA budgets detailing the expected assessment collections and disbursements are included within the individual Annual Reports attached to this staff report. The proposed FY2026/27 expenditures for each BIA are summarized as follows:
|
BIA |

Del Paso Boulevard |
