(Ord. 116 § 1, 1986)
This Council finds and determines that parking and other deficiencies
are so generally evident in the downtown section of the City, and
that the size of the new area is so small, that each business in the
area will benefit from expenditures for parking facilities substantially
in proportion to the amount of additional charges and assessments
to be levied upon all businesses.
(Ord. 116 § 1, 1986)
The Atascadero City Council shall have full authority to enter
into annual agreements with nonprofit business promotional groups
or organizations serving the area which authorize the groups or organizations
to expend area revenues in accordance with city budgetary and accounting
procedures. Such group or organization shall have representation on
the Board of Directors of such group or organization from among those
who have businesses in the area and who are subject to the assessment.
Such group or organization shall advise the City on matters pertaining

areas that may be outlined in annual agreement.
