    Council Member Oswald Feliz addresses the challenges of forming Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in certain communities. He proposes an idea to create temporary part-time SBS positions specifically tasked with helping organize communities for BID formation.

    • Feliz acknowledges the difficulties in contacting multiple landlords and getting them to participate in BID formation.
    • He suggests that temporary SBS positions could help overcome challenges such as lack of resources and language barriers in some communities.
    • The proposal aims to provide targeted assistance to complete the processes needed to form a BID, with the hope of eventually transitioning to permanent BIDs.
