Whereas notice was given to all property owners in the district, and insufficient protest was made by these property owners to prevent the extension of the proposed district,
Now, therefore, it is the purpose of this chapter to provide for the extension, for a period of ten years from DATE, of a tourism business improvement district within the city with the further purpose to aid in tourism, promotion, and marketing within the district.
In extending this business improvement district, it is the intention of the City Council that the purpose of the district is to promote tourism to the City of Sidney. To that end, the board of trustees established hereunder is specifically directed to use the assessments of the district to fund community activities which promote tourism and commerce.
