On July 20, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3105 (G-14435) establishing Fort Worth Public

The purpose of this benefit hearing is to receive comments from the public regarding the Fiscal Year 2008-

proposed assessments and to adopt appropriation ordinances allocating estimated receipts to the District's
fund.
On August 19, 2008, (M&C G-16242) the City Council conducted a public hearing to receive comments on
the proposed Fiscal Year 2008-2009 five-year service plan and budget (attached), and provided notice of

$2,767,247.00
The total budgeted costs of the improvements are $2,767,247.00. Of this amount, $1,773,105.00 will be
funded by assessments collected on privately owned parcels located in the district by applying a rate of
$0.11 cents to each $100.00 of property value. The remainder of the costs, $994,142.00 will be funded by
other revenue sources, including $185,867.00 in direct payment from the City for payment in lieu of
assessments; $132,785.00 in direct payments from the City for payment in-lieu of services; $155,565.00 in

Based on the appraised value of the property, and considering the benefits to be received from the
proposed improvements and services, it is the opinion of the City staff that an amount equal to or more
than the proposed assessments, upon completion of the improvements will enhance each parcel of
property in value.
