_ __ i __ 06/09/2014 Some AveraPe costs: Average cost of services for similar special benefit districts to fund the sidewalk operations component are a low of$5.00 per linear foot and a high of$18.00 per linear foot. Possible Imolementation Scenario: 44,531 linear feet x $9.50 per linear foot = $ 423,043 in annual Sidewalk Operations funds(figuring a ratio of 80%for labor and 20%for supplies),this would equal around 55- 69 person hours per day,or an average of around 7 to 8 full time people providing services 7 days per week. Probably 5 - 6 employees during the day and 2 for the evening shifts,which includes on site supervision. These employees could provide cleaning services, steam cleaning services, provide directions to visitors, stock dog bag stations, empTy special benefit trash receptacles, paint out graffiti, fund beautification programs including public space management and maintenance, work with Redwood City Police Department for vagrancy or minor criminal complaints. DISTRICT IDENTITY SERVICES: ZO% This category of special benefit services provides assessed properties with the following services that enhance the positive identity and brand for businesses on assessed parcels within the CBID. The function of these services is to create greater demand for property, office space, business sales and rentals and residential tenancies throughout the CBID. These services are over and above current City services and one set of services listed below may be prioritized one year and another set of services may be prioritized the following year. That determination of prioritization of District Identity special benefit services will be determined by the CBID management corparation Board of Directors. The costs for District Identity are apportioned equally to the building square footage assessments of all parcel owners, regardless of Benefit Zone, since all individual parcels(with the exceptions noted in the next paragraph)are presumed to benefit equally from the District Identity implementation of all programs in the new CBID. It is noted that District identity services are designed primarily for the benefit of commercial for-profit types of land uses and ownerships and not for government and tax exempt type land uses and ownerships.These latter categories of land use and ownership types do not specially benefit from increased business sales or business transactions and enhancement of private parcels is the primary aim of this program element and thus these tax exempt parcels will not be assessed for their respective building square footage to pay for these services. This program element will be funded 100% by building square footage assessments in both benefit zones, except for government and tax exempt owned and occupied parcels. The percentage of building square footage that is dedicated to private or internal tenant parking needs may be deducted from the gross building square footage. Only parking structures that are open to the public and charge fees to the general public on a regular basis will have their building square footage assessed as any other commercial building. Apartment buildings within the boundaries of the CBID,regardless of Benefit Zone,will be assessed as commercial buildings since there is a landlord/tenant relationship.Such sidewalk operations and beautification special benefit services include: RESO.#15347 MUFF#506
