the special assessment in an election to be held in Nove mber 2006. Mr. Kron will handlP

most closely reflects its benefits , the BID will collect a
spec ial assessment based upon commercial land area and
first floor square footage . There are approximately 1.1
million square feet of commercial land and about 440 ,000
square feet of commercial first floor building within the
proposed BID boundaries . Per Colorado state law , any
property that is within the BID boundary and is classified
for assessment by the county assessor as residential or
agricultural is not subject to the revenue raising powers of
the BID and therefore will not be assessed by the BID.

II. WHY FORM A BID?
There are several reasons why now Is the right time to fonn a Business
Improvement District along the South Broadway corridor in Englewood:
• lncreue Sales, Occupanclea and Property Values : More than 1,000
BIDs have been fonned throughout North America and are
acknowledged as a critical Ingredient In commercial area revitalization .
BIDs are proven to work by funding improvements and services that
enhance the overall vitality of a business district. Success Is measured
by higher occupancies, sales and property values . Nationally, the BID
renewal rate is 99%.
• Strengthen the South Broadway Corridor's Competitiveness In the
Regional Marketplace : The BID supports a results-oriented set of pro grams
that will produce both short-tenn and long-tenn tangible improvements .
These improvements and services will help accelerate efforts to attract and
retain consumers, visitors , new businesses and Investment to South
Broadway .
• Create a Reliable Source of Funding for South Broadway: A BID will
provide a reliable, multi-year source of funding to ensure these programs
can continue to showcase and benefit the South Broadway corridor.
• Leverage Positive Changes along the South Broadway corridor: There
are exciting changes in Englewood-with new businesses and investment
creating an eclectic and exciting business mix . The BID will help to ensure
that the benefits of the new Investment and energy will be spread throughout
the South Broadway corridor.
• Broaden Private Sector Control and Accountability: The South Broadway
Englewood BID will be governed by a board of district property and business
owners . Annual BID work plans and budgets will be developed by the board ,
ensuring that the BID will be directly accountable to those who pay an
assessment. New programs will be subject to private sector perfonnance
standards and controls .
• Create a Unified Voice for the South Broadway Corridor In Englewood: A
BID will help broaden the foundation for developing a viable and unified
private sector voice for the South Broadway corridor. A BID will unify and
enhance the current merchant association efforts, and act as an advocate for
the healthy growth and development of the entire BID area.

Ill . PROCESS TO CREATE THE BID OPERATING PLAN
• The Plan for creating a BID along South Broadway In Englewood Is the
•
•
result of a community process In which more than 100 Englewood area
property and business owners have participated between the fall of 2005 and
the spring of 2006 . The City of Englewood, at the behest of a group of
merchant and property owners, retained the consulting firm of Progressive
Urban Management Associates (P.U .M.A.) to help determine the feasibility of
forming a BID . Key steps of the process Included :
• BID Steering Committee: To guide the consultant team and test the
viability of the BID concept, a Steering Committee composed of district
property owners and business owners was created. Steering Committee
members include : Ted Vasilas , Jon Cook, Doug Cohn, Beth Minnick,
Bob Voth, Rick Reese , Brian Verbeck , Steve Schalk and Bob Laughlin.
• One-On-One Meetings with Key Property Owners: A series of one-
on-one meetings were held with business and property owners In the
BID study area to determine their willingness to support a BID .
• Stakeholder Focus Groups : To involve property and business owners
in the design and development of the plan , two stakeholder focus groups
were held in November, 2005 . The focus groups included a survey
designed to assess service priorities and whether there was an appetite
to support various BID improvements and activities.
• Direct Mall Survey : A direct mail survey was sent to property owners
within the Englewood BID study area in November, 2005 . Fifty-five (55)
surveys were returned providing additional input for the design of the
BID work plan .
• Plan Review Workshops/Final Plan : The draft BID work plan and
budget were reviewed by the BID Steering Committee and then
presented to property and business owners in two workshops held in
early February, 2006 . Input from the workshops and Steering
Committee led to the completion of the final plan .
Top community priorities that emerged from nearty 100 surveys
completed by participants in one-on-one meetings and focus groups and
respondents to the mail survey Included :
• Marketing, Promotions & Image Enhancement
• Enhanced Maintenance
• Enhanced Safety

special assessments and other expenses normally associated with special
assessment processes.

and in such amounts as may be determined by , the BID Board of Directors, and
subject further to the approval of a majority of BID electors at an election called
for the purpose of authorizing such bonds .

annual BID assessment at this time .

VI. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Under Colorado statutes, Business Improvement Districts can generate •
revenues through several methods, Including charges for services rendered by
the district, fees , taxes, special assessments, or a combination of any of these .
hi order to allocate the costs of the services to be fumlshed by the BID In a way
that most closely reflects the benefits conferred upon the businesses and
commercial properties In the BID, the BID shall be authorized to detennlne,
1mpose and collect special assessments based upon both commercial lot and
first floor commercial building square footage .
The spec/a/ assessment methodology is intended to equitably
addres s the intended benefits to South Broadway based upon real property
characteristics to achieve the following :
BID services will improve overall image and marketability of properties
throughout the entire area of the BID, leading to increased occupancie,s and
values . Land square footage Is utilized as an assessment variable to distribute
the anticipated benefit to property resulting from these services . One-third of
the projected BID budget is allocated to land .
First floor building square footage is assessed at a higher rate than land .
The first floor of real property is expected to benefit from image enhancement
activities that increase occupancies and sales , particularly from retail related •
uses . Two-thirds of the projected BID budget is allocated to the first floor of real
property.
Second floor and higher building square footage is omitted from the special
assessment because these spaces do not provide the same level of economic
return as first floor spaces and are less likely to be occupied by retail related
uses .
The following assessment rates apply to South Broadway Englewood
properties based upon a database that has been assembled by the City of
Englewood utilizing data supplied by the Arapahoe County Assessor and GIS
technology . Estimated assessment rates on real property for the first operating
year of the BID are :
Per sq .ft . of Lot Per sq .rt. of main floor of
buildlna
South Broadway $.029 $.152
Commercial Pronerties
Annual Adjustments: In order to provide adequate funding for the
costs of providing Its services and Improvements In the Mure, the BID shall be
authorized to Increase the rates of assessment set forth above not more than •
five percent (5%) each year, on a cumulative basis . The assessment will be
8

entered Into by between the BID and Treasurer's otnce .
VII. BID GOVERNANCE AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

consisting of five (5) to seven (7) members , all of whom shall be voting
