Item 102 Passedunofficial

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This item sets the 2027 assessment rate for the South Congress Preservation and Improvement District and approves the district's updated service, assessment plan, and budget. The rate of $0.20 per $100 of valuation is estimated to bring in $281,330 at an 85% collection rate, money that funds improvements and services along the SoCo corridor. Because it's declared an emergency, the ordinance takes effect immediately upon passage rather than after the usual waiting period.
