On March 23, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3060 establishing Fort Worth Public
Improvement District No. 12 (PID 12).
The purpose of this benefit hearing is to receive comments from the public regarding the Fiscal Year 2008-
2009 proposed assessments to be levied on each property in PID 12, to adopt an ordinance levying the
proposed assessments and to adopt an appropriation ordinance allocating estimated receipts to the
District's fund.
On August 19, 2008, (M&C G-16246) 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
this benefit hearing.
The improvements and services to be provided and the costs thereof are:
I___provement Total Budgeted Costs
Management Fee $10,000.00
Utilities $6,500.00
Landscape Maintenance Program $36,000.00
Communications/Newsletters $500.00

Replacements $7,000.00
Insurance $6,000.00

Total $78,000.00
The total budgeted costs of the improvements are $78,000.00. Of this amount, $56,000.00 will be funded
by assessments collected on privately owned parcels located in the district by applying a rate of $0.19
cents to each $100.00 of property value for residential property.
The remainder of the costs, $22,000.00, will be funded by other revenue sources, including:
$1,000.00 from the Chapel Hill Venture LLLP Subsidy
$21,000.00 from prior year's assessments
Based on the appraised value of the property and considering the benefits to be received from the
proposed improvements, 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.
PID 12 is commonly known as the "Chapel Hill PID" and is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.

The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 operating budget,
