BILL

BL2026-1521

Passed

This approves a $1,531,089 budget for the Midtown Central Business Improvement District, funded entirely through special assessments on property owners in the Midtown area through June 30, 2027. The money is earmarked mainly for clean, safe, and beautiful programs, with smaller portions going to marketing, administration, and reserves. It also sets up a path for future MBID budgets to be approved by a simpler Council resolution instead of a full ordinance.
