      Recitals
 
  Ordinance 95-613 (the "Ordinance") authorized the creation of the Midtown Community Benefits District (the "District") and the Management Authority (the "Authority"), subject to certain terms and conditions.
 
  The Ordinance requires that the Mayor and City Council hold 1 or more public hearings every 4 years to evaluate the activities and undertakings of the District and the Authority and to determine whether the District and Authority should continue for another 4 years.
 
  In 1999, the City Council conducted the first of these quadrennial reviews and, by Resolution 99-019, continued the District and Authority for an additional 4 years, ending June 30, 2003.  Subsequently, Chapter 89, Acts of 2000, amended Charter Article II, ยง 63(h), establishing a new 4-year review cycle, to begin December 2003.  In 2003, the Mayor and City Council conducted an interim review and, by Resolution 03-043, continued the District and Authority for an additional 1-year period, ending June 30, 2004.  In 2004, the Mayor and City Council conducted a further review and, by Resolution 04-052, continued the District and Authority for a full 4-year period, ending June 30, 2008.  In 2008, the Mayor and City Council conducted a further review and, by Resolution 08-001, continued the District and Authority for an additional 4-year period, ending June 30, 2012.
 
   The Mayor and City Council has now undertaken a new, quadrennial review for the 4-year period beginning July 1, 2012.  Based on its review of the activities and undertakings of the District and Authority, the Mayor and City Council finds that the renewal and continuation of the District and the Authority are in the best interests of the citizens of Baltimore.
 
  SECTION 1.  BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE, That the Midtown Community Benefits District and Management Authority are renewed and continued for an additional 4 years, ending June 30, 2016
 
 
 
  SECTION 2.  AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this Resolution takes effect on the date it is enacted.
