Overview: As required by state law, the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership will provide its annual written report and presentation to the Council during a Council meeting.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council receive the annual report from the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership.

 

Key Issues:

•                     North Carolina General Statutes allow a city to provide services to its Municipal Service District through a contract with a private agency. The statutes require that the contract be awarded through a bid process that includes a public hearing process and that the selected agency provide an annual report to the city in writing and during the course of a city council meeting. (N.C.G.S. Sec. 160A-536 et. seq.)

•                     On April 8, 2016, the Town issued a Request for Proposals to provide services that promote, maintain and enhance the Town’s Municipal Services Districts.

•                     On June 13, 2016, the Council awarded the contract to the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership (CHDP) for FY2016-17.

•                     The Contact provides for extensions annually until FY 2021-2022 (5 years) unless the Council, following an annual report, directs otherwise.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: The Town of Chapel Hill provided the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership $190,000 from the Municipal Services District and General Funds in FY 2019. The Council has increased this amount to $210,000 in the FY 2020 budget.  The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership also receives funding from UNC-Chapel Hill.
