The Fortuna City Council adopted a resolution of intent to continue a flat Fortuna Business Improvement District (FBID) assessment of $25 per business for fiscal year 2026‑27 and set a public hearing for May 4, 2026.
Staff said there are approximately 660 businesses in Fortuna and that a flat $25 assessment would generate an estimated $16,500 for the FBI annual budget. The resolution of intent is the first procedural step; business owners may submit written protests ahead of the May 4 hearing.
The council voted in favor of the resolution by roll call: Connley, yes; Diaz, yes; Stevens, yes; Mayor Pro Tem Trent, yes; Mayor Johnson, yes.
Why it matters: The FBID assessment funds local business improvement efforts; the May 4 hearing allows business owners to protest or weigh in on the proposed levy.
