Item 15 Passed 9-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This ordinance sets the assessment rate and signs off on the proposed 2027 assessment roll for the South Congress Preservation and Improvement District. Special districts like this one collect assessments from property owners in the area to fund neighborhood-specific improvements and upkeep, so the rate matters to folks doing business along SoCo. The city notes this item has no fiscal impact on its own budget.
