BACKGROUND SUMMARY
The rate schedule was approved on 7-1 vote at a special meeting of the Board
of Advisors on Tuesday, September 24, 1991. Included in B. I. D. Assessment
Committee recommendations were the following changes:
· Charge vacant properties at the same rate as occupied properties
· Raise the cap fOrmula by approximately 10%
Even though assessments were calculated on a 4% total budget increase
approved earlier, ($78,000 for 1992; $75,000 for 1991), rates dropped in Areas 1
and 3 because vacant properties and larger businesses shared more of the billings.
Area 2 simply had fewer vacant or large properties than the other areas.
Comparison for a medium-sized (25 ft.) general business:
1991 1992
Area 1 $391.75 $379.64
Area 2 $159.25 $162.20
Area 3 $66.25 $63.16
Businesses in Area 1, the three core area blocks fronting on Santa Fe, pay
65% of the total assessment. Area 2 pays 25%, and Area 3 pays 10%.
Official contact has been made with each known district account. About 325
letters were mailed by first class postage on October 8, 1991. Each business or
property owner was notified of the estimated total annual assessment and shown the
address, front footage or number of professionals from which it was calculated.
Addressees were urged to contact the Salina Downtown, Inc. office with corrections
or questions. The mailing also included a copy of the 1992 Downtown revitalization
budget with charts to illustrate how the money is proposed to be spent, and how
much each area pays of the total.
Response to date is lighter than in years past. There has been one letter
received objecting to the assessment. All other telephone calls and written
communications have focused on general questions or clerical matters.
