HomeMy WebLinkAbout14-075 CC ResolutionSection 5. The proposed activities for the VTVTBID include tourism promotions and
' marketing programs that specifically and specially benefit the Lodging Businesses within the
VTVTBID by increasing tourism and marketing the Temecula Valley as a tourism destination. A
portion of the assessments each year will be used to pay for administrative expenses of the
City.
Section 6. Except where funds are otherwise available, the City proposes to
annually levy an assessment on all Lodging Businesses within the VTVTBID boundaries based
upon 4% of the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night to pay for activities
within the VTVTBID. Extended stays, defined as stays of more than 30 consecutive calendar
days, and those exempt persons as defined in Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.20.040 will
be exempt from the VTVTBID assessment. New lodging businesses established within the
boundaries of the VTVTBID after the beginning of any fiscal year will not be exempt from the
levy of assessment for that fiscal year. Assessments pursuant to the VTVTBID shall not be
included in gross room rental revenue for purpose of determining the amount of the transient
occupancy tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 3.20 of the Temecula Municipal Code.
Section 7. The annual assessment described in Section 6 may be levied for a term
of five fiscal years, commencing with the fiscal year beginning on March 1, 2015 and ending on
February 29, 2016, after which term the City may renew the assessment pursuant to Section
36600 of the Law. For purposes of levying and collecting assessments within the VTVTBID, a
fiscal year shall commence on March 1s' and end on the following February 28ffi (or 29`");
provided the City Council may, by resolution, designate the fiscal year as July 1s' to June 30`h of
the following year, or any other fiscal year, subject to all applicable requirements of the Law.
' Section 8. The amount of the annual assessment proposed to be levied in year one
totals approximately $1,402,736.00. This amount is expected to fluctuate over the remaining
four years of the five -year term of the proposed VTVTBID in accordance with occupancy rates
and rents charged by the operators of the lodging businesses within the VTVTBID, but the
amount is not anticipated to be significantly different each year. The City shall not issue bonds
in connection with the VTVTBID.
Section 9. The City will collect the assessments from Lodging Businesses within the
boundaries of the VTVTBID in monthly installments or such other installments as determined
pursuant to resolution of the City Council. The funds collected will be distributed to the
VTVTBID. Funds remaining at the end of any year may be used in subsequent years in which
VTVTBID assessments are levied as long as they are used consistent with the requirements of
this Resolution.
Section 10. The time and place for the public meeting for comments on the proposed
establishment of the VTVTBID and the levy of the assessments is set for January 27, 2015, at

Section 12. At the public hearing a protest may be made orally or in writing by any
' interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the City Clerk at or before the time
fixed for the public hearing. Written protests may be mailed to the City Clerk, City of Temecula,
41000 Main Street, Temecula, California 92590. The City Council may waive any irregularity in
the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any
time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description
of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the
business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the City as the
owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the
person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written
protest that does not comply with these requirements shall not be counted in determining a
majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives
of businesses in the proposed VTVTBID that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments
proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than
50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses,

finding of a majority protest by the City Council.
