Property owners provide no pushback against Business Improvement District funding
2shares
The Reno City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to approve nearly $3 million in property tax assessments to fund the Downtown Reno Business Improvement District’s (BID) operations for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
According to Jeff Limpert, management analyst with the city manager’s office, it was the first time in the four years since the BID was formed that no written protests or objections to the assessments were submitted by the property owners which include commercial, governmental, nonprofit and private residential properties.
Recently, perennial political candidate George “Eddie” Lorton lost a petition he filed in May of 2019 for a judicial review of the City of Reno’s handling of assessments charged to property owners within the BID. Lorton had wanted his downtown property exempted from assessments, but the Second Judicial Court denied his request.
Tye Pauly says it was the most dramatic event in his career as a Reno Ambassador.
A highly agitated, screaming and yelling person can lead to that. Last Monday, Pauly stepped in to help stop an alleged kidnapping while at a downtown Reno gas station.
The Reno Ambassadors are part of the Downtown Reno Partnership and patrol throughout downtown to try to create a cleaner, safer, friendlier environment for visitors and residents.
Shortly after reporting for work the morning of April 26, Pauly got a call about a man and woman loudly arguing in front of the Chevron gas station in downtown Reno.
