Commission votes to draft BID law
Staff writer
By JOHN BENNER
The Lawrence City Commission last night unanimously decided to draft an ordinance that would establish a business improvement district in the central downtown area.
The commissioners agreed that many considerations had to be addressed before a draft could be written, and they asked the city attorney and city staff to work with them to understand the legal aspects of such a district.
The commission's action came after a scheduled public hearing on the district. Several Lawrence residents and business owners spoke both in favor of and against the district.
A business improvement district is outlined in state statutes and allows the city to assess businesses within the district to pay for beautification, design plans and the promotion of
community events. Businesses also would pay for sanitation services and street and sidewalk repair, among other projects.
The proposed district would be bordered on the north by the Kansas River and on the south by North Park Street. The eastern limit would be Rhode Island Street and the western boundary would be Kentucky Street.
Commissioner Howard Hill listed several aspects of the proposed district that the city would look at closely before drafting an ordinance.
Hill said the city must determine the exact boundaries of the district, list the services to be provided, outline the collection of funds, set up a board of appeals and specify the duties of the board members and the method for appointing them.
Eugene Riling, a lawyer whose office is located within the proposed district, said he thought the district would duplicate many services already provided by the city.

KU has growing pains. It's bigger this fall by a thousand students. The pain is that the fees those extra students have paid don't stay at KU. The money winds up in the state general fund. KU hopes the Legislature returns that money一about $1.5 million一when it assembles in January.
