CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS
WITHIN THE WEST COVINA AUTO PLAZA BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AREA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-20, AND
PROVIDE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING THEREON TO BE
CONDUCTED JUNE 18, 2019
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE 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 2019-20.
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 2019-20 at its June 18, 2019
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 form 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.
If written protests as to the proposed levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2019-20 are received
(and not withdrawn) from owners of businesses which will pay 50% or more of the total
assessments, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2019-20
will be taken for one year from the date of the majority protest. If the majority protest is only
against the furnishing of a specified type or types of improvement or activity within the area,
those types of improvements or activities shall be eliminated.

funded. If the Council determines to levy the assessment, it may adopt a resolution confirming
SO.

newspaper of general circulation in the City at least seven (7) days before the June 18, 2019
public hearing.
