of California (the "Law").
Section 2: This ordinance is adopted pursuant to Resolution of Intention No. 8958

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA TO ESTABLISH A PARKING AND
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA IN THE WEST COVINA AUTO PLAZA AND LEVY
ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THAT AREA, AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING AND
HEARING THEREON TO BE CONDUCTED JUNE 1, 1993. "
Section 3: Resolution of Intention No. 8958 was published and mailed as provided
by the Law and on May 4, 1993, the City Council in its regularly scheduled meeting provided
an opportunity for public testimony on the establishment of said Business Improvement District
prior to the public hearing held on June 1, 1993, at which the City Council again heard the
testimony of all interested persons for or against the establishment of the Business Improvement
District. No protests to the establishment of the Business Improvement District or levy of
assessments were made orally or in writing by any interested person.
Section 4: The Business Improvement District referenced in Resolution of Intention
No. 8958 is hereby established and its boundaries shall be as set forth in the attached 'Exhibit
"A" which is incorporated herein by reference.
Section 5: The name of the Business Improvement District shall be the "West
Covina Auto Plaza Business Improvement District" (the "District"). The businesses within the
District shall be subject to any amendments to this ordinance or the Law.
Section 6: Assessments as described herein shall be levied within the District to
fund the construction, operation and maintenance of an electronic readerboard to be located
adjacent to the I-10 Freeway and will benefit the Auto Plaza dealerships to be assessed. The
assessment revenues will not be used for any other purpose.
Section 7: Except where funds otherwise are available, an assessment will be levied
annually on each auto dealership or auto dealership site within the District (identified in Exhibit
"A") as set out in the Law, the proceeds of which will be used exclusively to fund the
improvements and activities set out in Section 6.
Section 8: The assessment shall be levied on the basis of benefit to each dealership
and property, as follows:
The method of assessment will consist of dividing equally among the number of auto
dealers (presently six) in the District, the cost of constructing, operating and maintaining the
electronic readerboard. The cost of the electronic readerboard will be based on a 15-year
repayment projection at zero interest. The other factors to be included in the assessment formula
include maintenance, electricity, programming and insurance costs. The annual assessment for
each auto dealer for the first year is calculated to be $14,025. The annual assessment formula
is described in further detail in Exhibit "B" which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Section 9: The assessment shall be collected annually by the City. In the event an
auto dealer fails to pay the assessment when due, the City may add the amount to the auto
dealer's annual business license until the assessment is paid in full. In the event the auto dealer
also owns the underlying property, the City may collect the assessment through the property tax
roll.
• Section 10: Any new auto dealership will be subject to the assessment from the date
it commences operation within the District.
Section 11: The City Council finds that the auto dealerships assessed will benefit by
the installation and operation of an electronic readerboard, as readerboard signs have been
associated with improved auto sales.
Section 12: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall
cause the same to be published as required by law.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 15th day of June , 1993.
