credits to certain property owners Even though the City Council reserves the right
to issue credits, it shall not be required to issue credits, and will not do so if the
credits are inequitable or discriminatory The principal amount of each assessment
certificate issued by the city shall be determined by deducting any credit from the
amount of the assessment

to the Assessor and Collector of Taxes of the City of Fort Worth, who shall issue a

sums he receives with the City Treasurer to be kept and held in a separate fund

payment If a certificate is assigned, the holder shall be entitled to receive from
the City Treasurer the amount paid by presentation of the certificate endorsed and
credited, and the endorsement and credit shall be the Treasurer's Warrant for making
the payment The payments by the City Treasurer shall be receipted for the holder of
the certificate in writing and by surrender when the principal, together with accrued
interest and all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees, have been paid

certificates
XT
All assessments levied are a personal liability and charge against the owners
of the property described in Exhibit "A", even though the owners may not be named or
may be incorrectly named Failure to make improvements in front of an abutting
property that is exempt from assessment will not invalidate the lien or liability for
assessments made against other abutting property

which the respective parcels of property abut, and the assessments for the
improvements in any unit are not affected by the assessments or improvements in any
other unit

DISCUSSION:
Proposition No. 1 of the Capital Improvement Program approved by the voters
on March~22, 1986, included the reconstruction of Summit Avenue from Vickery
Boulevard to Pennsylvania Avenue. This section of Summit Avenue has been
included in the proposed realignment of i-30 and is scheduled to be
reconstructed by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation
(SDHPT). Since this part of Summit no longer needed to be provided for, staff
recommended reconstruction of the section of Summit Avenue from immediately
north of the proposed I-30 realignment to Lancaster Avenue. The existing hot
mix asphaltic pavement on this section of Summit Avenue currently requires a
high level of maintenance, and existing drainage facilities are. inadequate.
Staff also recommended the reconstruction of Rio Grande Avenue from Summit
Avenue eastwardly to 40' E. of Block 4, Lot 7 W. property line (165' long) to
connect to a new roadway to be constructed by the SDHPT as part of the I-30
improvements. On May 30, 1989 (M&C C-11671), City Council concurred in these
recommendations and approved a design services contract with Everage, Smith,
Farrington and Associates, a local engineering firm.
On April 23, 1991 (M&C G-9125), the City Council established May 21, 1991, as
the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance with
Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 7.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve the segment of Summit Avenue by constructing a
seven-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with a seven-inch high integral
concrete curb over a six-inch thick lime stabilized subgrade so that the
finished roadway will be 32 to 60 feet wide on a variable width right-of-way.
Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four-inch thick concrete
sidewalks will be constructed where specified on the plans.

It is proposed to improve the segment of Rio Grande Avenue by constructing a
seven-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with a seven-inch high integral
concrete curb on a six-inch thick lime stabilized subgrade so that the
finished roadway will be forty feet wide on a fifty foot wide right-of-way.
Six-inch thick driveway approaches and four-inch thick concrete sidewalks will
be constructed where specified on the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of enhancement
to property values that will result from the proposed improvements. Based. on
standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the
independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has been computed at
$82,281.60 (22%) for the property owners and $285,118.40 (78%) for the City
of Fort Worth at large.
The independent appraisal substantiates that, as a result of the proposed.
construction, each parcel of .adjacent property will be enhanced in value by
an amount equal to or greater than the proposed assessment.
UNUSUAL SITUATIONS:
The All Church Home (Lots 14-20, Block 1, Texas & Pacific Railway Addition)
is not exempted from taxes as a place of worship and is therefore being
assessed at the full rate.
