Such resolution was published and mailed as provided by law and a public hearing was held by the city council at its regular meeting on June 16, 2008, at which time all persons desiring to be heard and all objections made or filed, were fully heard. The city council duly concluded the hearing on June 16, 2008, and determined that protests objecting to the formation of the district have not been made by the owners of lodging businesses who will pay fifty percent or more of the assessments within the district and that such protests are overruled and denied. The city council finds that the owners of lodging businesses in the district, in the opinion of the city council, will benefit by the expenditure of funds raised by the assessments proposed to be levied.

§ 18A-2. Area established. [Ord. No. 1165, § II.]

The city council finds and determines that public convenience and necessity require the establishment of the district herein described. It further finds that the owners of lodging businesses within the district will benefit from the activities undertaken to promote tourism in Oakdale.

Pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, a parking and business improvement area is hereby established, to be known as the "Oakdale Tourism Business Improvement District" herein called "district." The area to be included in the district includes all of the City of Oakdale and any area annexed thereto.

§ 18A-3. Authorized uses. [Ord. No. 1165, § III.]

The purpose of forming the district as a business improvement area under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 is to provide revenue to defray the costs of services, activities, and programs promoting tourism which will benefit the owners of lodging businesses in the district. It is the intent of this chapter to provide a supplemental source of funding for the promotion of tourism in the district and it is not intended to supplant any existing sources of revenues which may be used.
