Council hereby approves as the preliminary plan for the Roxborough District the plan attached as Exhibit "A," and Council adopts as the City's report concerning the Roxborough District, the report included as part of that plan. RESOLVED FURTHER, THAT The Committee on Rules is hereby authorized and directed to take all actions required by the Community and Economic Improvement Act ("Act") prior to enactment of an ordinance formally continuing the Roxborough District, including the holding of any and all public hearings required by the Act. The Clerk of Council shall arrange for all mailings and publication of all notices required by the Act, as directed by the Chair of the Committee on Rules. Exhibit A PLAN FOR THE ROXBOROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ("DISTRICT") AND REPORT OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA CONCERNING THE DISTRICT 1. The name of the neighborhood improvement district is the Roxborough District ("District"). A map of the District is attached as Exhibit A-1, and an enlarged copy of the map shall be kept on file with the Chief Clerk to be made available for inspection by the public during regular office hours. 2. The service area of the District includes all taxable (for real estate purposes) commercial properties on both sides of Ridge Avenue from Main Street to 7220 Ridge Avenue, plus those commercial properties on certain blocks of streets that intersect that portion of Ridge Avenue that are listed in Exhibit A-2. This area is referred to as the "Whole District." While the service area does contain single family owner-occupied residential properties, these properties will not be assessed. Furthermore, tax-exempt properties located within the District will be encouraged to contribute cash or in-kind services. As of July 1, 2007, there are about 280 properties in the Whole District. The Whole District includes a sub-area called the "Central District" that includes all taxable (for real estate purposes) commercial properties on both sides of Ridge Avenue beginning at 5735 Ridge Avenue and extending through to 6247 Ridge Avenue.

A list of proposed improvements and services within the District and their estimated cost for the first year of operation are as follows: a.

Appearance: Appearance services will include the development of a professional streetscape plan that will detail pedestrian lighting, pedestrian crosswalks, benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, street trees, banners, directional and information signage, as well as, storefront facade design criteria, business lighting examples, sample window displays and signage criteria.

Appearance services may also include, but are not limited to: cleaning "hot spots;" weed control; organizing adopt-a-block programs and community clean-ups; purchase and maintenance of streetscape furniture and street banners; promoting uniform lighting treatments and providing professional design services for facade improvements and window displays; designing holiday lighting and decorations; sponsoring design contests for Ridge Avenue "gateways;" and, designing information kiosks for use along Ridge Avenue.

Personnel and Administration: Personnel and administration may include, but are not limited to, various operating expenses such as: accounting, yearly audit, legal, telephone, supplies, postage, equipment lease, paper supply, insurance utilities, rent, salaries and benefits." (Budget allocation for Year 1: $83,000). 5. The proposed budget for fiscal year 2008-2009 was unanimously approved by the Business Improvement District (BID) Steering Committee in the amount of $233,400. The proposed budget as well as a proposed five-year budget plan for the life of the District including, but not limited to, personnel and administration, programs and services, maintenance and operation, is attached as Exhibit A-3. To account for inflation, the budget will increase annually by about 4%, beginning on July 1, 2009. 6. The proposed revenue source for financing all proposed improvements, programs and services is set forth in Exhibit A-3. 7. The estimated time for implementation and completion of all proposed improvements, programs and services is five years, to June 30, 2013, which corresponds to the term of the District. 8. The administrative body which will govern and administer the District is the Roxborough Development Corporation (RDC). 9. The by-laws of the RDC are attached as Exhibit A-4. 10. The method of determining the amount of the assessment fee: The cost of the services for the District will be equitably apportioned among all benefiting properties within the District service area. The Central District assessment fee includes the Whole District assessment fee plus an additional assessment fee based on the additional services provided in the Central District. The annual assessment fee for a given property within the Whole District or the Central District will be calculated by multiplying the appropriate assessment rate (percentage) by the current assessed property value as most recently certified by the Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT). The assessment rates for each year of the plan, with adjustments to account for inflation, have been determined as follows n: The proposed Whole District assessment rates for the 5 year term are: FY 2008-2009 .78% FY 2009-2010 .81% FY 2010-2011 .84% FY 2011-2012 .88% FY 2012-2013 .91% The proposed Central District assessment rates for the 5 year term are: FY 2008-2009 1.45% FY 2009-2010 1.51% FY 2010-2011 1.57% FY 2011-2012 1.63% FY 2012-2013 1.70% The assessment fees for both the Whole District and the Central District for any fiscal year may not exceed the above percentages and shall be consistent with the budget herein. 11. The specific duties and responsibilities of the City of Philadelphia and the RDC with respect to the District are as follows: a. The City will be responsible for maintaining the same level of municipal programs and services within the District during its continuation as a neighborhood improvement district as before its establishment as a neighborhood improvement district. The City will also be responsible for filing any necessary liens on properties for the nonpayment of property assessment fees as set forth in the Act at 53 P.S. §18107(A)(10). b. The RDC shall fulfill all the duties and responsibilities of a Neighborhood Improvement District Management Association (NIDMA) as set forth in the Community and Economic Improvement Act (53 P.S. §18101 et. seq.). In its capacity as the NIDMA, the RDC shall annually submit an audit of all income and expenditures to the Department of Community and Economic Development and to City Council within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year; and submit a report, including financial and programmatic information and a summary of audit findings, to City Council and to all assessed property owners located in the District (as required by 53 P.S. §18109). In addition, the RDC will be responsible for the collection of all property assessment fees levied within the District. 12. A written agreement shall be signed by the City and RDC containing the following provisions: a. The respective duties of the City and the RDC with respect to the District as set forth in paragraph 11 above; b. The City's agreement to maintain within the District the same level of municipal programs and services that were provided within the District before its establishment; c. A "sunset provision" under which the agreement will terminate on June 30, 2013 and may not be renewed unless the District is continued beyond that date pursuant to a reenactment of the ordinance establishing the District; and d. The RDC's agreement to be responsible for the collection of all property assessment fees levied within the District and the City's agreement to file any necessary liens for nonpayment of property assessment fees as set forth in the Act at 53 P.S. §18107(A)(10). 13. The District shall allow for and encourage tax-exempt property owners, located within the district, to provide in-kind services or a financial contribution to the RDC, if not assessed, in lieu of a property assessment fee. 14. The negative vote of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the property owners within the District or property owners within the District whose property valuation as assessed for taxable purposes amounts to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total property valuation located within the District proposed in the final plan, shall be required to defeat the establishment of the District by filing objections with the Clerk of Council within forty-five (45) days of presentation of the final plan.
