Summary
At a special meeting (date not specified), the Mendocino County BID Advisory Board elected Board member Cali Dim as chair and Board member John Glidewell as vice chair, approved a meeting calendar including Feb. 25 and March 19 meetings, and directed staff and contractor BMC to prepare a draft annual report for fiscal year 2025–26.
At a special meeting (date not specified), the Mendocino County BID Advisory Board elected Board member Cali Dim as chair and Board member John Glidewell as vice chair, approved a meeting calendar including a 1 p.m. meeting on Feb. 25 to review the annual report and a special meeting at 11:30 a.m. on March 19 if further action is needed, and directed staff and contractor BMC to prepare a draft annual report for fiscal year 2025–26.
The board took the organizational vote after roll call and a brief exchange of nominations and amendments. Adrienne Thompson of Planning and Building Services opened the meeting and distributed the board’s bylaws and the previously adopted annual report for fiscal year 2024–25, saying, “The bylaws state that I distribute them every year.” The election was decided by voice vote; members present voted in favor of the amended motion to elect Dim as chair and Glidewell as vice chair.
Ramon of BMC, the contractor assisting with the annual report and TBID formation work, told the board he expects to provide a final draft of the annual report by mid-February so the board can review and either approve it at the Feb. 25 meeting or make minor changes to be addressed at a follow-up meeting in March. “I can have the report ... updated to have a final draft by middle of February,” Ramon said. He explained the draft produced for the board will be based on the existing 1% budget and marketing plan tied to the current BID assessment, while a separate 2% TBID budget and marketing plan would be prepared only if a future ballot measure or county action to create a 2% TBID proceeds.
Ramon also reported progress on forming the TBID petition effort: “We’re currently on 94 petitions, 36.22% currently,” he said, and described ongoing outreach to reach the greater-than-50% threshold required for formation. He said the team is aiming for a July 1 start date if the county process and Board of Supervisors schedule permit; if approval is delayed past July, any new assessment would start Oct. 1 because it must begin with a fresh quarter.
Board members asked scheduling and procedural questions. The board settled on a special meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. to review the draft annual report and an as-needed special meeting on Wednesday, March 19 at 11:30 a.m. to finalize or approve changes. A motion to approve the calendar passed by voice vote.
No public commenters asked to speak during the meeting. The board adjourned after approving calendar and organizational items and directing staff and BMC to deliver the draft report on the timeline discussed.
Next steps: BMC will deliver a draft annual report by mid-February for the board to review at its Feb. 25 meeting; the board expects to use the report tied to the current 1% assessment unless the county process creates a separate 2% TBID budget.
