Summary

Clerk reported a protest at about 17% (20,500 of 118,000 assessed), allowing the council to proceed; local business and property owners, and Granada Hills Improvement Association representatives, urged formation and thanked staff and council aides.

The council received a report on the protest tabulation for the proposed Granada Hills property-based business improvement district (PBID). Mike Carey, the city clerk, reported the protest level at approximately 17 percent — 20,500 of 118,000 assessed — which the clerk said meant the council could move forward with formation.

Cheryl Ford, speaking on behalf of the Granada Hills Improvement Association, thanked the council and staff for support and recognized the work of Council Member Hal Bernsen’s office and the special assessments unit staff. Ford invited council members to a BID summit scheduled for June 26 at California State University, Northridge.

Several property and business owners also spoke in favor of the BID. Speakers described the three‑year formation effort and urged the council to approve the PBID so the district can pursue redevelopment and increase local commercial vitality.

After hearing the public testimony, the council closed the public hearing for the item. The clerk’s report and the public input established the administrative record to proceed under the tabulation rule the clerk described.
