T
presented at the Public Hearing and based on all information lcnown by the City
Council, hereby malces the following findings:

with Section 372.005 of the Act and has been signed by record owners of
taxable real property liable for assessment under the proposal who constitute:
(a) 73.13% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment under the proposal set forth in the Petition, as determined by the
current roll of the Tarrant Appraisal District, and (b) 62.96% of the area of
all taxable real property that is liable for assessment under the proposal.
2.2 Advisability and Feasibility of the Improvements and Services
Proposed for the Tourism PID. It is advisable to create the Tourism PID to
provide the proposed improvements and services described in the Petition and
this Resolution. The improvements and services will promote the interests of
the City and confer a special benefit on the assessed properties within the
Tourism PID. The Fort Worth Convention and Visitor's Bureau staff have
done an analysis of the proposed tourism public improvement, its service
plan and strategies, and have concluded that it provides a very effective
means for significantly enhancing the ability of For•t Worth to promote its
hotel, convention, and tourism activity. Based on this analysis, the City finds
the proposed tourism public improvement district to be both advisable and
feasible.
2.3 Nature of the Improvements and Services. The general nature of the
pr•oposed impz•ovements and services to be provided in the Tourism PID
include, without limitation, marlceting, business recruitment, and promotional
activities authorized by the Act for improvements and promotion of the
Tourism PID, including, but not limited to, the provision of incentives by the
Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to organizations to encourage
them to bring large and city-wide events (including, without limitation,
meetings, sporting, recreation, and cultural events) to Fort Worth and to fund
additional marketing by the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to
increase hotel stays within the City.
2.4 Estimated Cost of the Improvements and Services. Over the ten
(10) year period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on the expiration
of the Tourism PID as provided in Section 3, the estimated total cost of the
improvements and services pi•ovided by the Tourism PID will be
$57,036,809.00, which includes an estimated cost of $3,469,985.00 for the
2017-2018 fiscal year, a 40% increase for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, and a
year-over-year increase thereafter of five percent (5%) for the remaining
eight-year term.
For the 2017-2018 fiscal year, the estimated cost of the above-referenced improvements
and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements and services is:
oRrwo r
fi
Incentives and Sales Effoi�ts $1,474,744
Marketing (Promotion/Advertising) $1,214,495
Site Visits & Familiarization Toui•s $ 346,998
Event Funding Application Pool $ 260,249
Operations/Research/Administration $ 156,499
One-Time City Administrative Fee $17,000
Total $3,469,985
Such estimated costs are reasonable and appropriate. The estimated costs of
improvements and services provided in the 2017-2018 fiscal year will be determined in a
subsequent annual budget and service plan for the Tourism PID to be approved by the
City Council on August 29, 2017, in accordance with Chapter 372 of the Act. Such costs
will be paid from assessments levied in accordance with Chapter 372 of the Act. The
ten-year service plan proposed for the Tourism PID is attached hereto as "Exhibit A"
("Service Plan") and incoiporated herein for all purposes. The Service Plan budget and
assessment amount are subject to annual review and approval by the City Council.
2.5 Boundaries of the Tourism PID. The boundaries of the Tourism PID are

of hotel properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City of
Foi�t Worth as set forth in the attached "Exhibit B", which is incorporated herein for all
purposes. The Tourism PID's boundaries may be expanded by the same procedure
required by Chapter 372.012 of the Act for establishment of the Tourism PID.
2.6. Method of Assessment. The costs of the improvements and services will be
funded fi•om assessments levied on and collected from propei�ties located in the Tourism
PID that contain hotels of one hundred (100) or more guest rooms and that are subject to
payment of City hotel occupancy taxes pursuant to Chapter 32, Article II of the City
Code, as amended. The City will levy a special assessment against properties located
within the boundaries of the Tourism PID ("Hotel Parcel") in an amount equal to two
percent (2%) of the consideration paid for occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a
hotel located on a Hotel Parcel (subject to any lawful exemption of the hotel occupancy

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 8/29/2017 ; Resolution No. 4837-08 2017
DATE: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: BH-366
LOG NAME: 25PID18ESTABLISHTOURISMPID
SUBJECT:
Conduct Public Benefit Hearing to Declare the Sufficiency of a Petition Requesting Establishment of Fort
Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) and Adopt a Resolution Authorizing and
Establishing the Tourism PID (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public benefit hearing concerning the sufficiency of a petition requesting establishment of
Fort Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) and the establishment of the Tourism PID;
2. Find that the petition requesting establishment of the Tourism PID meets the requirements necessary
to designate the proposed area as a Public Improvement District pursuant to Chapter 372 of the Texas
Local Government Code;
3. Adopt the attached Resolution: (i) making certain findings concerning the nature and advisability of
special improvements and services to be provided for the benefit of properties in the Tourism PID, the
estimated costs of such improvements and services, the method of assessment, the boundaries of the
Tourism PID and the apportionment of cost between the Tourism PID and the City, as a whole and (ii)
authorizing and establishing the Tourism PID; and
4. Direct the City Secretary to publish notice of the establishment of the Tourism PID as required by
Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code (Act) allows certain hotel property owners to petition
the City for the establishment of a public improvement district that confers a special benefit on non-
contiguous properties comprised solely of hotels with 100 rooms or more within the City.
A petition requesting establishment of Fort Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) has
been filed with the City Secretary. The petition complies with Section 372.005 of the Act and, as of August
29, 2017, has been signed by record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment under the
proposal who constitute: (a) 73.13% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment
under the proposal set forth in the petition, as determined by the current roll of the Tarrant Appraisal
District and (b) 62.96% of the area of all taxable real property that is liable for assessment under the
proposal (see Attachment 1). City staff has verified and confirmed all petition signatures.
The goals of the proposed Tourism PID focus on increasing the economic impact and enhancing
competitiveness in conventions, meetings, leisure and sports tourism and increasing tourism-related
economic activity at all times, including during economic downturns and as inventory grows. The

proposed Tourism PID projects include incentives and sales efforts, convention and sports marketing and
promotion, site visits and familiarization tours, community arts grants, convention services, event funding
application, operations, research, and administration, all of which benefit the hotels within the Tourism
PID.
The proposed boundaries include noncontiguous areas authorized under the Act consisting only of hotel
properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City. The proposed assessment
rate would be two percent of the consideration paid for occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a
hotel located within the Tourism PID, with such assessment to be collected in the same manner an in
accordance with the same procedures as those established for collection of the City's Hotel Occupancy
Tax, as set forth in Chapter 32, Article II of the City Code, as amended. The entire costs of each
improvement and service will be paid from the above-stated assessments and no City funds will be used
to pay any portion of such costs, unless such funding is approved by the City Council on a case-by-case
basis.
The total estimated costs for the proposed services and improvements for the life of the Tourism PID
(approximately 10 years) will be $57,036,809, which includes an estimated cost of $3,469,985.00 for the
2017-2018 fiscal year, a 40% increase for the 2018-2019 fiscal year and a year-over-year increase of five
percent (5 percent) for the remaining eight-year term. Assessments will begin on January 1, 2018.
The City intends to enter into a management Agreement with a to-be-named non-profit corporation
associated with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau (Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement
District Corporation) to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Tourism PID, which contract will be
addressed in a separate, but related, M&C authorizing the assessment.
Staff recommends that the City Council find that these improvements and services are advisable because
they will promote the interests of the City and confer a special benefit on the assessed properties within
the Tourism PID.
Upon the close of the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council declare the petition to create
the Tourism PID to be sufficient and adopt the attached Resolution making findings concerning the
following and establishing the Tourism PID:
• The advisability of establishing the proposed Tourism PID;
• The general nature of the proposed improvements and services;
• The estimated costs of the proposed improvements and services;
• The boundaries of the Tourism PID;
• The proposed method of assessment; and
• The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID and the City, as whole.
Upon adoption of the Resolution, the Tourism PID will become effective on the date that City Council's
authorization to establish the Tourism PID has been published in a newspaper of general circulation and
will remain in effect until the earlier of 10 years from the effective date of the Tourism PID or September
30, 2027.
The proposed Tourism PID encompasses ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of the above recommendations will establish the City's 18th
Public Improvement District.
