March 12, 2018

2. TBID Overview
The TBID movement began in West Hollywood, California, in 1989
TBIDs have revolutionized destination marketing funding
TBIDs have now spread to 172 destinations across 14 states
The district places a charge on hotel room sales, which is collected by the jurisdiction and dedicated to funding marketing programs
The funding is managed and programs are implemented by a dedicated nonprofit corporation (like the PCOC) or advisory board

3. Pasadena TBID
Initially formed by City Council in 2003 under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (the ‘89 law)
Established to fund the destination and event marketing efforts that were funded by revenues of the PCOC and the PCOC share of the TOT, freeing those funds to be used for debt service on the new construction of the convention center.
Monies generated from the TBID must be used for the general promotion of tourism within the TBID

4. Pasadena TBID Conversion
The PCOC Board and Pasadena hoteliers wish to convert the Pasadena TBID from the ‘89 law to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (the ‘94 law).
This modernization will allow for a 5-year term, as opposed to annual renewal
TBID funds raised will continue to be returned to the PCOC to manage and implement funding, in accordance with the Management District Plan
Three (3) existing property-based districts currently operate under the ‘94 law in Pasadena: Old Pasadena Management District, the South Lake Avenue District and Pasadena’s Playhouse District.
