There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8289 from

Tax Incentive Co-
Manager, as follows:
mmittee cont. for
one week
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF A TAX INCENTIVE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council do the following:
1. Establish a Tax Incentive Committee composed of the Mayor and
all City Council members, a representative from the County
Commissioners and two representatives from school boards. The
purpose of the Committee will be to study and make
recommendations regarding various tax incentives.
2. Direct the City Manager to request the Tarrant County
Commissioners. Court to appoint a Commissioner to serve on the
Tax Incentive Committee until the end of 1989.
3. Direct the City Manager to request the School Board Presidents
of the Fort Worth Independent School District and the
Northwest Independent School District to serve on the Tax
Incentive Committee until the end of 1989.
4. Assign the Tax Incentive Committee the task of developing a
proposed revised comprehensive tax abatement policy to be
submitted to the City Council no later than December 12, 1989.
RACKGMIND
During the last two years, the City Council has established three
tax incentive programs. It is proposed that a Committee be
established to review current programs and develop new ones in
conjunction with developing stated goals and objectives for the
City's economic development program. The three existing programs
are as follows:
1. In 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance #10172 which
established a 10 -year partial tax exemption for historically
significant structures which have an improvement value
(building permit value) equal to or greater than 30% of the
pre -renovation assessed value.
2. In March, 1989, the City Council adopted a resolution stating
that it elects to become eligible to participate in tax
abatement. It also established a policy of tax abatement for
qualified downtown residential projects. For renovation
projects the amount of new investment had to be equal to or
greater than 50% of the T.A.D. valuation at the time of the
tax abatement agreement and at lease 51% of the total leasable
square footage of the completed structure had to be
residential.
Projects of new construction had to be 2/3 residential, unless
there was sufficient retail at the street level to qualify for
a bonus to lower the percentage of residential to 60%.
Qualified projects received tax abatement of the increased in
valuation for a period of 10 years following the Certificate
of Occupancy and up to three years during construction.
3. In August, 1989, the City Council expanded its tax abatement
policy to include certain aviation -related projects which were
equal to or greater than $25 million. Qualified projects
received tax abatement up to 15 years.
Amendments to the state law necessitate a revision of the City's
tax abatement policy. As explained in I.R. 7420, this would appear
to be an appropriate time to also review tax incentives, such as
tax increment financing, and to develop a city policy to guide

Tuesday, October 24, 1989
economic development efforts. Such a policy should reflect the
&C G-8289 cont. goals and objectives of the City's economic development program.
The Tax Incentive Committee, as proposed, would provide a forum for
the County and School Districts to participate in discussions of a
proposed. policy.. Due to concerns of the Chamber and other business
representatives, the first task of the Committee should be to work
with the staff of the Office of Economic Development to identify
the goals and objectives of the economic development program and to
