Central Avenue Special Service District Advisory Board
The Central Avenue Special Service District Advisory Board advises the City of Minneapolis Public Works Department in the following areas:
- Identifying the most desired services
- Determining the desired level of those services
- Developing an annual work plan and budget
- Determining a service charge methodology
- Working with district property and business owners to share information on the district's activities and respond to any concerns
A Special Service District (SSD) allows property owners in a commercial district to collectively assess themselves to fund special amenities and enhanced services. Special amenities can include distinctive streetscape fixtures and street furniture. Enhanced services typically include cleaning, landscaping, and maintenance of public spaces. These special amenities and enhanced services are over and above what the City ordinarily provides.
Membership Details
Advisory Board members must own property, or represent an owner of property, that pays the Special Service District’s annual service charge. A property owner, or ownership entity, may occupy no more than one advisory board position regardless of the number of properties owned within the Special Service District.
The Advisory Board uses the City's open appointments process. Applications are reviewed by the appropriate committee for consideration and recommendation to the City Council.
