RECOMMENDATION: Confirm the appointment of Rita Stenlund to the Balboa Village BID Advisory Board. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: The City of Newport Beach has two types of BIDS that are regulated by the California Streets and Highways Code. Four of the City's five BIDs were formed under the 1989 Parking and Business Improvement Area Law: Balboa Village BID, Corona del Mar BID, Marine Avenue BID and the Newport Beach Restaurant Association BID. Each is managed by business owners selected by their fellow BID members and confirmed by the City Council. (Cal. Streets and Hwys. § 36530.) The fifth BID was formed under the 1994 Property and Business Improvement District Law and is managed under contract by Visit Newport Beach, Inc., which serves as the BID's owners association. (Cal. Streets and Hwys. § 36614.5.) The City may limit membership on these advisory boards to persons that are subject to the BID assessment. They are different and distinct from other advisory bodies within the City Balboa Village Business Improvement District Advisory Board Confirmation March 27, 2012 Page 2 and are not appointed in the same manner. The City relies upon the Streets and Highways Code for BID Board appointments rather than Council Policy A -2. In the spring of each year, each of the 1989 BIDs nominates and slates members to serve on its advisory board of directors. The nominations are then presented to the City Council for confirmation. The BID advisory boards were last confirmed by Council in June 2011. A recent change to the membership of the Balboa Village BID Advisory Board necessitates the Council's review and action. Staff is recommending that Council confirm the following advisory board appointment: Rita Stenlund, ExplorOcean, to replace Tony George, Surfside Silver, on the Balboa Village BID Advisory Board. Confirmation of this appointment will help provide the resources needed to support this volunteer advisory board. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined. in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
