RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance:
1. Approving the amounts to be assessed against an additional twenty-
three parcels for improvements and/or services more fully described in
the 1990-91 Plan of~Services for Fort Worth Improvement District
No. 1, which was approved by the City Council on September 25, 1990
(M&C G-8820);
2. Setting Tuesday, January 22, 1991 as the date for the benefit hearing
for these parcels; and,
3. Approving the attached proposed supplemental assessment rolls and
authorizing notification of the property owners in accordance with
state law.
BACKGROUND:
On October 30, 1990, a benefit hearing was held regarding the assessments
for the Fort Worth Improvement District No. 1. Three hundred sixty parcels
of property within the District's boundaries were assessed at that time for
a total of $545,205.74. City of Fort Worth property was assessed for an
additional $50,916.
Attachment "A" is a proposed supplemental assessment roll which lists
twenty-three additional parcels. Values for these additional parcels were
not available as of September 4, 1990, and therefore, could not be corl-
sidered at the October 30, 1990 benefit hearing.
Proposed values for these twenty-three parcels have now been determined by
TAD, and a benefit hearing can be held. The proposed values are shown on
the attached proposed supplemental assessment roll. The total amount of
the assessments proposed to be levied against these remaining parcels is
$4,712.93.
