Context note

The City collects BID assessments and disburses them to the DBA under a management agreement, retaining a 2% administrative fee. Board-member professional affiliations are direct roster facts, not evidence that their employers direct City decisions. City Council action on the proposed 2027 advisory board has not been established. Official annual-report and City appointment documents identify Menthe's dual institutional roles. This does not establish any project-level coordination or misconduct.
