AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN
TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER SIX,
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
(RIVERFRONT TIF)
This AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN TAX INCREMENT
REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER SIX, CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
("Agreement") is entered into by and between the CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
(the "City") and TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS (the "County").
The City and the County hereby agree that the following statements are true and
correct and constitute the basis upon which the City and the County have entered into this
Agreement:
A. On November 12, 2002 the City Council of the City ("City Council")
adopted City Ordinance No. 15325 designating certain real property in the north
downtown area of the City as Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of
Fort Worth, Texas, (the "TIF District"). The TIF District is informally known as the
"Riverfront TIF". Ordinance No. 15325 is hereby incorporated by reference for all
purposes.
B. Designation of the TIF District will cause development of property in and
around the TIF District to occur that would not occur otherwise in the foreseeable future.
Until RadioShack Corporation ("RadioShack") located its new corporate campus in
downtown Fort Worth, a parking lot within a floodplain and an abandoned public housing
complex of approximately twenty-four (24) acres substantially impaired and arrested the
sound growth of the City. Under the City's Economic Development Program Agreement
with RadioShack, which served as the catalyst in RadioShack's decision to locate its
corporate campus in downtown Fort Worth, the City agreed to use reasonable efforts to
create a TIF District in this area in order to pay for public projects necessary for and
complimentary to construction of RadioShack's corporate campus. It is anticipated that
other private development in the TIF District will follow. This overall development will
result in increased tax revenues and other public benefits for both the City and the
County.
C. Pursuant to Section 311.013(f) of the Texas Tax Code, the County is not
required to pay any tax increment into the tax increment fund of the TIF District unless it
enters into an agreement to do so with the City. The County wishes to enter into such an
agreement with the City
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the conditions set forth herein,
the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and the County do hereby
contract, covenant and agree as follows:

II. Economic Impact
RadioShack Will Build a Major Urban Campus
RadioShack plans to spend over $200,000,000 on land and corporate campus
construction in the subject TIF Zone area over the next three years. This urban corporate
campus will have over 900,000 SF of buildings and over 2,400 cars parked in structured
parking lots. Other improvements will include a major public plaza located in the
southeast portion of the property, a "signature RadioShack Store" located at the
intersection or Taylor Street and Belknap Street, and major landscaping on the Trinity
River frontage.

A. Direct Increased Tax Base
The development will result in an increased tax base within the TIF zone estimated to be
at least $154,000,000 beginning in 2006, the first full taxable year after construction.
Assuming historical rates of appreciation, the increase in tax base would be
approximately $263,000,000 after thirty years. All of this value will add to the tax rolls
because the developable portions of property (above the flood plain) have been tax-
exempt properties for over 50 years.
Tax Base Increase
Based on$154,000,000 Initial Appraised Value
Note:The term of the TIF is proposed to be 34 years to begin in 2002,but the first 4 years will generate
little or no increment,because the RadioShack Campus will be under construction.Year 1 in the tables
corresponds to 2006,which is the first year of expected large tax increment.

B. Employment, Visitors, and Hotel Occupancy, Productivity, and
Impact on Surrounding Area
Employment,Visitors, and Hotel Occupancy
With an initial employment of approximately 2,400 jobs, the urban campus is expected to
have growth potential to accommodate over 4,000 jobs. RadioShack is the largest single
corporate user of hotel space in the Downtown Area. RadioShack attracts hundreds of
business associates and venders every week. It is not uncommon for RadioShack to have
as many as 400 to 500 business associates and family in during a 3 to 5 day training and
briefing period.
Productivity and Company Growth
This move to a RadioShack corporate campus from its current 30+year old Tandy Center
will accommodate growth and enable RadioShack to continue to be a "Technology
Leader" in the 21St Century. Development of this 48-acre urban campus gives
RadioShack the land requirements to attain these growth and productivity goals, while
remaining in Downtown.
Impact on Surrounding Area and Kick-off of the Trinity River Vision
Development of this major campus will have a major impact on improving development
and absorption of surrounding lands. The map on the following page indicates the
immediate impact areas that will see major developments over the next 30 years in great
part because of the RadioShack urban campus. The RadioShack campus will anchor this
new wave of reinvestment centered on the Trinity Waterfront and north downtown.
The eight development areas depicted on page 11 have a development potential of
$800,000,000 to $1,200,000,000 over the next 40 years. Of these amounts, 85 to 90%
will be private investments. The source of this economic development information is the
Trinity River Vision Study— Central City Section, now being prepared by Gideon Toal,
Inc. and CDM Engineers for the Tarrant Regional Water District and the Fort Worth
Streams and Valleys Committee.

III. Tax Increment Projections
III. Tax Increment Projections
The tables below indicate that a 34 year TIF could generate an increment of
approximately$38,000,000. This assumes participation from Tarrant County,the Tarrant
County Hospital District, Tarrant Regional Water District, and Tarrant County College.
With participation from Tarrant County and the Tarrant County Hospital District the
increment would be approximately$31,000,000.

IV. Public Infrastructure Costs and Financing
The areas within the proposed TIF and the adjoining public corridors have been analyzed
for how they can contribute to the overall quality of environment for the north Downtown
area. The summary below outlines a list of projects and budgets that are needed to carry
out the project plan.
It is anticipated that development agreements between the TIF 6 Board of Directors and
RadioShack will be initiated for certain utility and roadway projects that commence
before sufficient TIF increment is available, in order to insure that RadioShack will be
reimbursed for expenses related to the projects at the time that increment is available.
Government bond financing is not anticipated in the first five years of the 30-year TIF.
The County Commissioners Court may determine to finance certain future improvements
using some form of County bond financing.
Current assessed value of the proposed TIF zone is$28,609,856 for taxable properties.

City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/20/2005
DATE: Tuesday, December 20, 2005
LOG NAME: 17RIVERFRONT#6 REFERENCE NO.: C-21221
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Agreements with Tarrant County, Tarrant County College District and Tarrant
Regional Water District for Participation in Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of
Fort Worth, Texas (Riverfront TIF)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Tarrant
County, Tarrant County College District, and Tarrant Regional Water District for Participation in Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of Fort Worth, Texas (Riverfront TIF).
DISCUSSION:
On November 12, 2002, (M&C G-13800) the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 15325 designating the
Riverfront TIF, which will expire on December 31, 2036. Until RadioShack Corporation located its new
corporate campus in downtown Fort Worth, a parking lot within a flood plain and public housing complex of
approximately 24 acres substantially impaired and arrested the sound growth of the City. It is anticipated
that other private development in the TIF District will follow resulting in increased tax revenues and other
public benefits.
Under state law, a taxing unit is not required to contribute tax increment to a TIF unless that taxing unit
enters into an agreement to do so with the municipality that has designated the TIF. Under the participation
agreements, the participating taxing units will contribute tax increment generated by property located within
the TIF to the tax increment fund of the TIF, as follows:
• Tarrant County will contribute 100% annually through the term of the TIF,
• Tarrant County College District will contribute 80% annually through the term of the TIF; and
• Tarrant Regional Water District will contribute 100% annually through the term of the TIF.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 15325, the City of Fort Worth will not contribute tax increment to the TIF.
Revenue in the tax increment fund may be used for any lawful project cost of the Riverfront TIF, as
restricted by state law and the project plan adopted by the TIF's board of directors and approved by the City
Council.
The Riverfront TIF is COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this transaction will have no effect on City funds.
