Downtown Property Business Improvement District

The council took the first step toward a downtown PBID that would fund about $673,000 a year in extra cleaning, safety and marketing through a property-owner assessment. The city itself would pay roughly $220,000 as a downtown property owner; formation still requires a petition and property-owner ballot.
