the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
An independent appraiser has provided a report which determines the
enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed
improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate,

ment district no. RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance which amends the 1990 assessment roll for
Fort Worth Improvement District No. 2 by reducing the square footage of
Block 15, Lot 20 Park Glen Addition (Account #0622-19-39), as reported
by the Tarrant Appraisal District; and
2. Authorize the Revenue Collections Division of the Finance Department to
refund $34.52 in overpaid assessments on Account #0622-19-39.
DISCl1SSTON:
On December 18, 1990, the City Council adopted M&C G-8974 which levied
$161,052.10 in 1990 assessments against property located in Public
Improvement District No. 2.
The Tarrant Appraisal District recently notified the City that the square
footage value for Block 15, Lot 20 of the Park Glen Addition, owned by David
and Margaret Schuman, was incorrect on the original assessment roll. Since
the 1990 assessment roll for Fort Worth Improvement District No. 2 was based
upon January 1, 1990 square footage values provided by TAD, the roll needs to
be amended to reflect the reduced size of Block 15, Lot 20.
Adoption of the attached ordinance would make the following amendment to the
1990 assessment roll for PID #2:

On January 29, 1991, the City Council heard and considered relevant evidence
and testimony in reference to the conditions of the premises at 2600 Rand
Street. The City Council determined that the property in its present
condition constituted a public nuisance. Therefore, the owners were ordered
by the City Council to abate the public nuisance and that the abatement be
completed by Friday, February 8, 1991.
On February 1, 1991, the owners were sent a certified letter with a copy of
the "Written Order" as approved by the City Council.
On February 11, 1991, an inspection of the premises revealed that the
property had not been cleaned and brought into compliance with the City Code
as ordered by the City Council. Consequently, on February 12, 1991, a City
contractor, Burley Corporation, under the direction of the Superintendent of
Code Enforcement, entered upon the property and abated the nuisance. The
abatement was accomplished with the assistance of a solid waste brush and
bushy waste crew.
The City Council is now holding a public hearing to determine the correctness
and reasonableness of the abatement costs, which will include a $200.00
administrative cost. On April 5, 1991, a letter with a copy of the abatement
costs (contractor's invoices) was sent by certified mail to the property
owner, Lealea D. Courtney, and to the lienholder, Gibraltar Savings
Association. In the letter the owners were apprised of this meeting and

Mayor and Council Members each were mailed this letter today
City of Fort Worth
1000 Throckmorton
Fort Worth, TX 76102
re: Senate Bill 862
Dear
The issue here is NOT the Fort Worth Zoo contract! It is about modifying
contract law which will affect the entire state of Texas. I have no interest
in who ultimately manages the Zoo.
I am asking you to vote against supporting S.B. 862 which amends existing law
to exempt non-profit organizations from the competitive bid process for
management services contracts. It will further erode the public's confidence
in the fairness and fiscal responsibility of our city council.
Ours is a free enterprise system. When letting public contracts for
management services, it is wrong to give advantage to tax-exempt
organizations and thus deny opportunities for taxpaying businesses to compete.
As a small businessman, I have opposed this bill on the grounds that it is
bad procurement legislation.
Sole source contracts below a prescribed dollar limit or those granted during
an emergency may be necessary, but the government agency and the citizens pay
dearly for a process which almost always protects and benefits the
contractor's and not the public's interest.
A legitimate, qualified non-profit organization should be able to submit a
proposal that complies with a statement of work under existing contracting
procedures. With its tax advantage, it even may be able to provide those
services at a lower price than a private tax paying business. If in a
competitive environment the non-profit has a built-in advantage, why should
it need the additional protection of a sole source contract?
Remember that non-profit organizations are very easy to form and are
extremely varied as to their purpose and performance. Recall the
"ministers" groups awarding themselves HUD homes, and the many phony
non-profit organizations carrying on bogus fundraising. For a "contribution"
these groups could claim preferential treatment under the proposed
contracting process.
A dangerous political prospect exists here. Supporters of SB 862 claim that
the bill is necessary to leverage taxpayer funds with private contributions.
Fort Worth has benefited magnificently from the largess of our supportive,
responsible major foundations. Yet the citizens rejected the leveraging
argument in the recent Cultural District election. Think how it might affect
public opinion if the voters believe that this bill is merely a means to
circumvent their rights.
If SB 862 passes you must consider many complex questions for each proposed
sole source contract. Among them:
If two or more non-profit organizations exist, what are the criteria for
selecting one over the other?
Is the non-profit organization a legitimate operation?
Who serves on its board of directors?
Does the election process for the board of directors allow full
participation and representation?
Was the organization's contribution "financially significant"?
Does the non-profit have subcontracting procedures consistent with
current City of Fort Worth requirements?
Will the award to the non-profit exclude consideration of,minority or
women owned businesses?

TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1991
Ir. Gary Lipe What revenues will be generated under the contract?
:orrespondence cont What is the contribution of the non-profit organization?
What are the obligations of the City of Fort Worth?
If two or more non-profit organizations exist, what is the criteria for
selecting one over the other?
I ask that you carefully consider these serious issues and vote to oppose
this bill and protect the taxpayers' interests by preventing unqualified
non-profit organizations from gaining access and control of government
revenues without competitive bidding.
Sincerely
Gary Lipe
