According to the staff report, the City of Newport Beach, or its approved designee, collects the member assessments on behalf of the NBRA BID and remits the monies back to the BID for funding the activities described in the annual report, which was originally filed with the City Council on May 22, 2018.
In addition to the assessments, the City’s proposed fiscal year (FY) 2018-2019 budget includes sufficient funding for providing $40,000 to continue to support the NBRA BID for its marketing and public relations efforts.
The Newport Beach Restaurant Association Business Improvement District (NBRA BID) was formed in 1995 for the purpose of financing activities and programs to benefit businesses located and operating in the area. The NBRA BID encompasses any food service business within the city boundaries, such as restaurants, markets with dine-in or take-out food service, bars serving food, dessert shops, coffee shops, juice bars, catering companies, or similar food-related businesses.
