SB 1404 (Soto), Chapter 526, Statutes of 2004, enacted the
MID Law to provide, until January 1, 2012, for the
establishment of MIDs within a city or county to levy
assessments on residential rental properties within the
district for the purpose of financing certain improvements
and promoting certain activities beneficial to those
properties.
This bill extends the sunset on the MID law an additional
10 years.
Comments
According to the Apartment Association, California Southern
Cities, one MID is successfully operating in the City of
Long Beach, commonly referred to as "Andy Street
Multi-Family Improvement District". The owners want to
continue the improvement district because they have seen
measurable and tangible results reducing crime. In a few
years the district has been operational, police service
calls have been reduced from 480 to 210 in a fiscal year.
The property owners do not want to see a wildly successful
crime prevention program fail because the Legislature did
not act to extend the sunset date. Further, the City of
Long Beach has identified another improvement district
known as the "Pine-Locust" project; the area is two-blocks
long, has 124 property owners who are working in a
cooperative manner to establish a new MID
