District and asked for Council support. The Committee stated that
such a District would benefit the entire City; would ease the need for

businesses to have a license; and that it would be another tool to
help businesses stay in business.

copy of AB 1670, legislation allowing formation of such a district;

District and how it is working; and reliable proof that at least 50%
