DISCUSSION:

On March 23, 2004, (M&C G-14312) the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3060 establishing the Chapel Hill Public Improvement District (PID).

State law requires an annual report on the proposed budget and Five-Year Service Plan for the Chapel Hill PID, which is attached.  The general nature of the proposed improvements and/or services to be provided in the Chapel Hill PID shall include:

  • A Landscaping, Construction and Maintenance Program consisting of the planting and maintenance of special supplemental landscaping, the maintenance of supplemental irrigation systems and park, lake and fountain maintenance;  

  • A Public Events Program consisting of recreational activities, special events and holiday lighting;

  • Special fence maintenance in and along boulevards, parks and open spaces;

  • Various supplemental security related improvements and implementation of a Code Blue program; and

  • A Management Program to provide for the administration, management, communications and operation of the district.

On February 3, 2009, (M&C G-16451) the City Council adopted guidelines for setting an administration fee structure for all PIDs.  The City shall assess an annual administration fee equal to two percent of a district's annual assessments or in the amount of $2,000.00, whichever is greater.

The proposed 2016 Assessment Rate on property subject to assessment in the Chapel Hill PID is $0.19 per $100.00 of valuation.  The proposed 2016 Assessment Roll for the Chapel Hill PID will be filed with the City Secretary and available for public inspection during normal business hours at any time prior to the September 13, 2016 Public Benefit Hearing.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.

The Chapel Hill PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
