A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AREA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018, AND
PROVIDING NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING THEREON TO BE
CONDUCTED JULY 18, 2017
The City Council of the City of West Covina resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council proposes to levy and collect assessments within the
West Covina Auto Plaza Business Improvement District Area ("Area") for Fiscal Year 2017-18.
SECTION 2: On June 1, 1993, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1923, which
established the West Covina Auto Plaza Business Improvement District ("District") for purposes
of levying an assessment within the designated Area. The District was established with one
hundred percent (100%) property owner consent. The proposed use of the assessment revenue
collected is for financing the construction, operation and maintenance of an electronic
readerboard sign located in the West Covina Auto Plaza adjacent to the San Bernardino Interstate
10 Freeway, as well as financing of the operation and maintenance costs for the entry monument
to the Auto Plaza, which includes the sign and landscaping located at the southwest corner of
Azusa Avenue and Garvey Avenue South.
SECTION 3: Because the assessment is not being increased, the District is not required
to comply with Proposition 218.
SECTION 4: The Advisory Board for the District filed with the City Clerk an Annual
Report pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Streets and
Highways Code Section 36500, et seq.), which describes the proposed improvements and
activities authorized by Ordinance No. 1923. The Annual Report is available in the office of the
City Clerk.
SECTION 5: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council will provide an
opportunity for public testimony on the proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 2017-18 at its July
18, 2017 meeting at 7 p.m. at the West Covina City Council Chambers located at 1444 W.
Garvey Avenue South, West Covina, California.
Protests may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Any written protest
must contain a description of the business and evidence that the person submitting it is the owner
of the business within the District if he/she is not shown as such on City records. A protest
which does not identify the business or owner will not be considered. Any protest regarding the
regularity of sufficiency of the proceedings shall be in writing and shall clearly set forth the
defect. The City Council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of a protest. A
written protest must be filed in the faun or content of a protest. A written protest must be filed
with the City Clerk at or before the time set for hearing and may be withdrawn in writing any
time before the conclusion of the public hearing.
