In our opinion, the proposed new Code accomplishes the following beneficial results: Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 265 266 Tuesday, October 31, 1989 Ethics Advisory 1. Clarifying the definitions of "substantial interest" by Council report changing some of the wording, and by incorporating state cont. law into the Code in effort to minimize conflict and diminish the need to look in more than one place to find applicable law (pp. 2-3; p. 4, para. C) and p. 8, para. 5)); 2. Clarifying under standards of conduct that City officers, employees and advisory board members may accept travel and related expense payments in attending ceremonial functions, if such attendance has been approved in advance by the City Council (p. 5, para. b); 3. Strenthening the Code by extending its coverage to all employees except fire fighters and police officers who are covered by state civil service laws; and by extending portions of the Code's coverage to members of advisory boards such as the Zoning Commission. 4. While maintaining otherwise substantially the same definition of "substantial interest" as in the present Code, permitting voting by Council members, after public disclosure, on decisions concerning which the substantial interest is minimally susceptible to being a pressure point. These include certain installment loans having an original term for more than two years which cannot be accelerated at the whim of the creditor; savings and checking accounts; certificates of deposit fully insured; retail or credit card accounts; decisions concerning substitution of collateral by a City depository and, as specified in state law; and decisions involving real property if the decision would not have a special economic effect on the value of the City officer's property, as distinguished from its effect on the public (p• 8); 5. Adding to the definition of "substantial interest" having property pledged or mortgaged to a person or business entity (whether or not there is personal liability on the underlying indebtedness (p. 4, para. 6)); 6. Defining "direct or indirect financial interest" (p. 2); 7. Requiring the Ethics Code and any applicable City Charter provision and state statutes concerning conflicts of interest to be compiled and published by the recommended Ethics Review Committee, so that they can be readily available not only to members of the City government, but to the general public (p. 11, para. 3). 8. Creating a permanent 5 -member Ethics Review Committee with authority to render advisory opinions and to serve as a tribunal to hear complaints, with discretionary subpoena power, subject to appeal to the City Council (pp. 9-25). We respectfully call to the Council's attention three important aspects about the recommended Ethics Review Committee. 1. Committee composition. A. We urge that the membership be five in number, so as to require both a collegial appointment by the Council as a whole and to permit composite Committee membership to be representative of the city. B. We urge that the members of the Committee be appointed by the City Council. The proposed ordinance requires that the Council develop a list of community, civic and professional organizations and invite them to make suggestions for appointments. However, the Council need not be restricted to these suggestions in making its appointments. C. The 1978 ordinance creating an Ethics Committee (repealed in 1986 because of no activity) attempted to delegate appointment of the Committee's members to five different private community organizations. The Advisory Committee feels that this is inappropriate for three reasons. First, it violates state law and the City Charter, both of which require that the governing power of this City is vested in an elected City Council, not in private organizations which, however worthwhile, are Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 266 267 Tuesday, October, 31, 1989 Ethics Advisory nevertheless private, not elected by members of the Council report public, and cannot thereby be held accountable to cont. the public. Second, there are many more than five important and worthwhile such private organizations through Fort Worth, and even if permitted by state law or the City Charter, it is unwise to five preference to only a few of them. Third, restricting the Council's appointments to only those citizens recommended by private organizations would create the same legal and responsibility problems involved in delegating to private organizations the power outright to make such appointments. 2. Powers of Permanent Committee. A. The focus of the Ethics Review Committee's powers are to advise and to serve as a forum to hear complaints, make a determination of guilt or innocence, and to assess or recommend non -criminal sanctions. The Advisory Committee deliberately fashioned the proposed ordinance in a way that the permanent Ethics Review Committee will not be an investigatory agency. B. However, for the Committee to have before it all evidence deemed pertinent, the proposed ordinance gives the Committee subpoena power, upon a sworn application showing the need for the evidence and reasonably describing the nature and location of the evidence sought. This precludes "fishing expedition" subpoenas. Any party, including the target of the subpoena, has the right to appeal the Committee's decision concerning any subpoena to the City Council. 3. Right of Appeal. Both the complaining party and the party complained against have the right to appeal. Appeal of a complaint involving a member of the City Council, or an appointee or employee of the City Council is to the City Council. Appeal by any other covered employee is to the City Manager. The Advisory Committee has attempted to recommend an ordinance that is consistent with state law and the Council -Manager form of govornment provided by our City Charter. The Committee expresses its appreciation to City Secretary Ruth Howard and her staff for their assistance at the meetings. The Committee especially expresses its appreciation to City Attorney Wade Adkins for the long hours he spent in this study, not only in attending and advising us at meetings, but in providing us many drafts of the various aspects of this report. Respectfully submitted in behalf of the Committee. Louise Appleman Vernon Evans Alex Jimenez Estil A. Vance, Jr. S/Har.old'D.

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. e t 1111,1115 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 Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 269 2`70 &C G-8289 cont. r. Jack Tollett e Tax Incentive ommittee M&C G- 289 Tuesday, October, 31, 1989 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 economic development efforts. Such a policy should reflect the 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 formulate a proposed revised comprehensive tax abatement policy, which should be submitted to the City Council for action by December 12, 1989. Mr. Jack Tollett, 1144 Clara Street, appeared before the City Council and expressed opposition to the establishment of a Tax Incentive Committee and expressed opposition to tax abatements on city, state, and federal levels. Council Member Garrison made a motion, seconded by Council Member Webber, that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8289, be adopted. When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously.
