Title
Approval of the Proposed 2022 Operating Plan and Budget for the First and Main North Business Improvement District

Presenter:
Carl Schueler, Comprehensive Planning Manager

Body
Summary:
The First and Main North Business Improvement District (BID) is a legal entity separate from the City of Colorado Springs. However, as required by State statute, it is necessary for City Council to review and approve the proposed 2022 Operating Plan and Budget for the BID.

The District is authorized to provide the acquisition of improvements, construction of improvements, operation and maintenance of parking facilities, roadways, lighting, driveways, public utilities, and landscaping. The District currently owns certain street improvements, parking facilities, water improvements and drainage improvements.

This Operating Plan and Budget is provided in a format consistent with the standard template approved by Council in August 2014 for these documents.
