An advisory committee was formed in January 1997 to reconsider assessments. The committee recommended that the boundary lines of the BID be revised to include downtown only. The committee also recommended that delinquent assessments be collected and that no changes be made to the assessment amounts. The BID was legally formed after the required notices were distributed and hearings conducted. Communication between the businesses and the BID has been sporadic.
Recommendations Establish a collection procedure for delinquent assessments.
Provide revenue and expenditure reports to business owners. Hold regularly scheduled general membership meetings. Establish and implement short term, highly visible goals. The City of Jackson take a more active role when City funds are involved. Previous Report .
