SUMMARY
On July 10, 2018, downtown Hayward property owners voted in favor of establishing a Community Benefit District (CBD), levying a special assessment that would generate upwards of $600,000 annually for a variety of special services in downtown Hayward. The downtown property owners are now working to develop a non-profit management corporation to administer the programs and projects of the planned CBD. This contract with New City America is for the interim administration of the CBD and to establish a non-profit management corporation to govern and manage the CBD moving forward. This item is being brought to the City Council given the total amount of compensation the contractor has received over the last four years.
