RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
ESTABLISHING THE DISTRICT POLICY REGARDING THE ABATEMENT OF
ASSESSMENTS BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION OR DISASTER THAT PREVENTS
OCCUPANCY OF ROOMS USED AS A BASIS FOR ASSESSMENT UNDER
THE SAN MATEO COUNTY TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, some of the hotels that are subject to assessment under the San Mateo County
Tourism Business Improvement District (BID) will undergo reconstruction and may suffer disasters,
such as fires, which will prevent guest rooms from being occupied for long periods of times; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1648 does not directly address this issue during the District's
normal operating year; and
WHEREAS, it is only fair to the business to provide for an abatement process when such
construction or disaster occurs, but only when there is an extended period of time affecting a
significant portion of the available guest rooms; and
WHEREAS, the BID Advisory Board has recommended a policy to use as a uniform
guideline for hotels that face these difficulties,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Burlingame does hereby resolve, determine, and find as
follows:
The Policy regarding Abatement of Assessments attached hereto as Exhibit A is
approved.
