BID board applications available

CIVIC CENTER -- The city clerk’s office is accepting applications

through Thursday for candidates for a board to run a new

property-based business improvement district for downtown Burbank.

together through assessment fees to pay for improvements in their

neighborhood. The board would be responsible for carrying out the

goals of a five-year district plan, including a signage program and

marketing and promotions.

Downtown Burbank is bounded by Glenoaks Boulevard, Verdugo Avenue,

the Golden State (5) Freeway and Burbank Boulevard. Interested

merchants should pick up an application at the clerk’s office in City

Hall, 275 E. Olive Ave. Forms are also available online at www.ci.bur

bank.ca.us by accessing the city clerk page. The position is

voluntary.
