Three sub-committees are designated in the district management plan to implement the work of the RCIA organization: Sidewalk Operations, Beautification and Order (SOBO);District Identity and Streetscape Improvements (DISI); and Parking Committee. A fourth sub- committee, the Executive Committee, is responsible for leading the organization. RCIA finished their 2022-2023 Fiscal Year on November 30, 2023, with a budget of $930,820. RCIA typically completes their annual report in the summer, with City Council acceptance in December. Accordingly, this report ordinarily would have been presented to the City Council for acceptance in December 2024, but due to an oversight, this did not occur . Staff expect to present the FY 2023-24 annual report in December 2025. Under the adopted management plan, the annual funds collected are spent as shown in Table 1: RCIA Budget by Category: Table 1: RCIA Budget by Category PROGRAM OR ACTIVITY FUNDED PERCENTAGE OF ANNUAL BUDGET Sidewalk Operations and Beautification 54% District Identity and Signage 20% Administration 15% Parking 7% Contingency/Reserves 4% Below are some of RCIA’s accomplishments and highlights for Fiscal Year 2022-2023: Art Kiosk Installation Project – In collaboration with Fung Collaboratives, several public art exhibitions were displayed at the Art Kiosk located in Courthouse Square. Installation of Trash and Recycling Containers – RCIA purchased three new sets of garbage and recycling containers for downtown’s high-traffic zones, where proper waste disposal was not available. In-Person Events - Celebrated and promoted in-person events, such as Movies on the Square, Music on the Square, Art on the Square, Kids Rock, Oktoberfest, Dia de los Muertos, and the Zoppe International Circus. Sidewalk Beautification – RCIA purchased four wooden planter boxes and the plants to go in them, designed to fit over orange safety barricades.
