Pulido, Mayor <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Post Office Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Fiesta Marketplace, Santa Ana, CA <br /> <br />Dear Miguel: <br /> <br />My letter to you of December 9, 2004, served to inform the City Council of the <br />Fiesta Marketplace Partners' position regarding the City's Community <br />Redevelopment and Housing Commission's Downtown BID recommendation. <br />Since December 9, 2004, changed circumstances have caused us to change our <br />position as noted in my earlier letter. This letter shall serve to articulate our <br />current Downtown BID position. <br /> <br />It has recently come to our attention that business leaders in that geographical <br />area of the Downtown that we envision will be included in what we have termed <br />the "Artist Village and Restaurant Overlay BID" have communicated to us their <br />desire to form an Overlay BID serving their special interest. This interest, <br />coupled with the almost unanimous consensus reached by the participants at a <br />recent special meeting to discuss the Downtown BID matter, has made it very <br />clear that now is the time to create two special interest Overlay BIDs within the <br />existing Downtown BID structure. <br /> <br />The Fiesta Marketplace Partners wholeheartedly support the creation of a <br />"Fourth Street Overlay BID" and "Artist Village and Restaurant Overlay BID", with <br />geographical boundaries to be established, as soon as legally possible. We <br />envision additional special interest Overlay BIDs will be created when business <br />licensees recognize common goals and objectives and are desirous of receiving <br />the benefits of a BID. <br /> <br />, . <br /> <br />19C-16 <br /> <br />
