Union Square BID annual report and plan changes move forward after committee review
Summary
The committee forwarded the Greater Union Square Business Improvement District's FY2009–10 annual report and proposed management‑plan changes, including board expansion and increased cleaning/maintenance resources; the BID reported a proposed FY2010–11 expense budget of about $3.6 million and revenue projections including carryover funds.
The Budget and Finance Committee forwarded the Greater Union Square Business Improvement District’s (BID) FY2009–10 annual report and proposed management‑plan amendments to the Board with recommendation.
Lisa Pagan of the Office of Economic and Workforce Development said the BID remained in compliance with its contract and management plan and reported a proposed FY2010–11 expense budget of $3,608,227 and projected revenue of $4,618,055, including carryover funds. Linda Magellan, representing the BID, described services delivered in the previous year: extensive sidewalk steam‑cleaning and sweeping, graffiti removal, ambassador services assisting thousands of visitors and outreach to people in need, and neighborhood activation projects such as programming in Hallidie Plaza and Camden Alley cleanup.
The BID proposed clarifying technical language in its management plan, changes to assessment methodology for some parcels, and expanding its board of directors from 11 to 23 members to broaden representation. The committee approved forwarding the annual report and plan changes to the full Board so the BID can proceed with board elections.
