Enacted by the State of Texas in 2009,the program is also known as the Media Production Development Zone Act(MPDZA).The Texas Film Commission administers the incentive program. To be eligible for the sales and use tax exemption on the construction or renovation of a media production facility: • The applicant must own (or lease for four years)the land/building where the project is located • The proposed facility must be used elusively for the creation of moving images projects. • Acceptable media production facilities include: o Soundstage o Motion capture studio o Animation facility o Game facility o Sound studio o Scoring stage o Editing facility o Production office Each application will need to provide the following documentation to support and justify the request: • Specific and detailed description of the project • Site plan for proposed media production location • Floor plan for the proposed media production facility • An itemized budget for project • A schedule of media production equipment to be bought, rented, or leased • An economic impact analysis • A financial statement and background information on requestor A MPDZA exemption cannot be granted unless the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts certifies that the project will have a positive impact on state revenue.The Comptroller makes this determination, in part, by reviewing the economic impact analysis. 1 http://gov.texas.gov/film/programs/mpdza Page 5 1310 South 15'Street, Suite 105 Austin, Texas 78704 (512)328-8300 phone (512)462-1240 fax www.txp.com Economic Impact of Methodology An economy can be measured in a number of ways. Four of the most common are"Output"which describes total economic activity and is equivalent to a firm's gross sales, "Value Added"which equals gross output of an industry or a sector less its intermediate inputs, "Labor Income"which corresponds to wages and benefits, and "Employment"which refers to permanent jobs that have been created in the local economy. In an input-output analysis of new economic activity, it is useful to distinguish three types of expenditure effects:direct, indirect, and induced. Direct effects are production changes associated with the immediate effects or final demand changes. The payment made by an out-of-town visitor to a hotel operator is an example of a direct effect,as would be the taxi fare that visitor paid to be transported into town from the airport. Indirect effects are production changes in backward-linked industries caused by the changing input needs of directly affected industries—typically, additional purchases to produce additional output. Satisfying the demand for an overnight stay will require the hotel operator to purchase additional cleaning supplies and services,for example, and the taxi driver will have to replace the gasoline consumed during the trip from the airport.These downstream purchases affect the economic status of other local merchants and workers. Induced effects are the changes in regional household spending patterns caused by changes in household income generated from the direct and indirect effects. Both the hotel operator and taxi driver experience increased income from the visitor's stay,for example, as do the cleaning supplies outlet and the gas station proprietor. Induced effects capture the way in which this increased income is in turn spent by them in the local economy. The interdependence between different sectors of the economy is reflected in the concept of a "multiplier."An output multiplier,for example, divides the total (direct, indirect and induced)effects of an initial spending injection by the value of that injection—i.e.,the direct effect.The higher the multiplier,the greater the interdependence among different sectors of the economy. An output multiplier of 1.4,for example, means that for every$1,000 injected into the economy,another$400 in output is produced in all other sectors. For this project, TXP used Dallas-Fort Worth MSA RIMS 11 multipliers(2007 U.S. Benchmark 1-0 data and 2015 Regional Data).

Four datasets were used to derive the ratio: 1)U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP estimates by state and metropolitan area; 2)the U.S.Census Bureau State Government Tax CollectionS2(STC)report;3)Texas Workforce Commission Tarrant County Quarterly Employment and Wages(QCEW)3;and 4)City of Fort Worth'budget documents.A brief description of the STC data collection methodology follows: In this survey,"taxes"are defined as all compulsory contributions exacted by a government for public purposes, except employer and employee assessments for retirement and social insurance purposes,which are classified as insurance trust revenue. Outside the scope of this collection are data on the unemployment compensation "taxes" imposed by each of the state governments. However,all receipts from licenses and compulsory fees, including those that are imposed for regulatory purposes, as well as those designated to provide revenue are included. Over the past five years,the state tax revenue as a percent of state GDP was 3.36 percent.

Enacted by the State of Texas in 2009,the program is also known as the Media Production Development Zone Act (MPDZA). The Texas Film Commission administers the incentive program. To be eligible for the sales and use tax exemption on the construction or renovation of a media production facility: • The applicant must own (or lease for four years)the land/building where the project is located • The proposed facility must be used elusively for the creation of moving images projects. • Acceptable media production facilities include: o Soundstage o Motion capture studio o Animation facility o Game facility o Sound studio o Scoring stage o Editing facility o Production office Each application will need to provide the following documentation to support and justify the request: • Specific and detailed description of the project • Site plan for proposed media production location • Floor plan for the proposed media production facility • An itemized budget for project • A schedule of media production equipment to be bought, rented, or leased • An economic impact analysis • A financial statement and background information on requestor A MPDZA exemption cannot be granted unless the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts certifies that the project will have a positive impact on state revenue.The Comptroller makes this determination, in part, by reviewing the economic impact analysis.

Four of the most common are "Output"which describes total economic activity and is equivalent to a firm's gross sales, "Value Added"which equals gross output of an industry or a sector less its intermediate inputs, "Labor Income"which corresponds to wages and benefits, and "Employment"which refers to permanent jobs that have been created in the local economy. In an input-output analysis of new economic activity, it is useful to distinguish three types of expenditure effects: direct, indirect,and induced. Direct effects are production changes associated with the immediate effects or final demand changes. The payment made by an out-of-town visitor to a hotel operator is an example of a direct effect,as would be the taxi fare that visitor paid to be transported into town from the airport. Indirect effects are production changes in backward-linked industries caused by the changing input needs of directly affected industries—typically, additional purchases to produce additional output. Satisfying the demand for an overnight stay will require the hotel operator to purchase additional cleaning supplies and services,for example,and the taxi driver will have to replace the gasoline consumed during the trip from the airport. These downstream purchases affect the economic status of other local merchants and workers. Induced effects are the changes in regional household spending patterns caused by changes in household income generated from the direct and indirect effects. Both the hotel operator and taxi driver experience increased income from the visitor's stay,for example, as do the cleaning supplies outlet and the gas station proprietor. Induced effects capture the way in which this increased income is in turn spent by them in the local economy. The interdependence between different sectors of the economy is reflected in the concept of a "multiplier."An output multiplier,for example,divides the total(direct, indirect and induced)effects of an initial spending injection by the value of that injection—i.e.,the direct effect.The higher the multiplier,the greater the interdependence among different sectors of the economy.An output multiplier of 1.4,for example, means that for every$1,000 injected into the economy,another$400 in output is produced in all other sectors. For this project,TXP used Dallas-Fort Worth MSA RIMS II multipliers (2007 U.S. Benchmark 1-0 data and 2015 Regional Data).

Four datasets were used to derive the ratio: 1)U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP estimates by state and metropolitan area; 2)the U.S.Census Bureau State Government Tax Collectionsz(STC) report; 3)Texas Workforce Commission Tarrant County Quarterly Employment and Wages (QCEW)3;and 4)City of Fort Worth budget documents.A brief description of the STC data collection methodology follows: In this survey, "taxes" are defined as all compulsory contributions exacted by a government for public purposes,except employer and employee assessments for retirement and social insurance purposes,which are classified as insurance trust revenue. Outside the scope of this collection are data on the unemployment compensation "taxes" imposed by each of the state governments. However,all receipts from licenses and compulsory fees, including those that are imposed for regulatory purposes,as well as those designated to provide revenue are included. Over the past five years,the state tax revenue as a percent of state GDP was 3.36 percent.

I$ BRYAN AVENUE pp pp I BRYAN AVENUE � b City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/26/2018 - Ordinance Nos. 23293-06-2018 2018 DATE: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 REFERENCE NO.: G-19325 LOG NAME: 1717ED MPDZ01 SUBJECT: Adopt Ordinance Designating the Area Within the Boundaries of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Four, City of Fort Worth Texas (Southside TIF) as Media Production Development Zone Number One, and Adopt Ordinance Nominating the Real Property at 305 South Main Street, Suites 100-110, for Designation as a Qualified Media Production Location Within that Zone (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9). RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt the attached ordinance designating the area comprising the Southside TIF as Media Production Development Zone Number One, City of Fort Worth, Texas; and 2. Adopt the attached ordinance nominating the real property at 305 South Main Street, Suites 100-110, for designation by the Office of the Governor as a Qualified Media Production Location within that Zone. DISCUSSION: Section 485A of the Texas Government Code enacts the Media Production Development Zone Act (the Act), administered by the Texas Film Commission. The Media Production Development Zone (MPDZ) is designed to encourage the development of permanent moving image production sites to help strengthen the Texas economy. This incentive program not only supports growth of the media industry, but also brings about tangible investment in assets that strengthen the local tax base. It also provides an opportunity to continue implementation of the City of Fort Worth Economic Development Strategic Plan's goal to become a hub for creative businesses. MPDZ allows for a two year sales and use tax exemption for the construction, maintenance, expansion, improvement, or renovation of a media production facility at a Qualified Media Production Location in a designated Media Production Development Zone. The City of Fort Worth and the area within the Southside TIF will meet the criteria for recognition as a MPDZ under the Act so long as a Qualified Media Production Location is designated within that area. The exact boundaries of the proposed zone are described in Exhibit A of the attached ordinance designating the Zone. Under the Act, the governing body of a municipality, by ordinance, may nominate a location as a Qualified Media Production Location if the location is situated in a MPDZ. To be designated a Qualified Media Production Location, a location must be land or other real property that is in a MPDZ and will: Logname: 1717ED MPDZOI Pagel of 3 (1) be used exclusively to build or construct one or more media production facilities; (2) if the real property is a building or other facility, be renovated solely for the purpose of being converted into one or more media production facilities; or (3) if the real property consists solely of one or more media production facilities, be improved or renovated for that purpose or will be expanded into one or more additional media production facilities. The building improvements located at 305 South Main Street, Suites 100-110, will qualify for designation as a Qualified Media Production Location on the basis of the following proposed renovation and uses: Two media-related projects (Requestors) are proposed at this location. Renovation is anticipated to begin in the third quarter of 2018, and will take approximately six months to complete. 1. Red Productions, LLC, a full service film and production company headquartered in Fort Worth will relocate and be the lead tenant occupying approximately 7,600 square feet in Suite 100 of the building. It is expected that approximately $1,110,853.00 will be expended for building renovation materials, machinery, and equipment. Those items will be exempted from sales tax on account of designation of the location as a Qualified Media Production Location. Red Productions, LLC, anticipates adding five jobs at an average annual wage of$48,000.00 over the next two years. The space provides: a. edit bays, office space, and conference rooms for producers, production managers and editors b. open co-working space for media related and creative companies. The value of the proposed exemption on City of Fort Worth $.02 sales taxes on eligible tax exempt items will be approximately $22,217.00. 2. KCPFII Bryan, LLC, a partnership between Red Productions, LLC, and Craig Kelly, a real estate developer, will create "Backlot Studios" in Suite 110, a fully functional studio space for rent for film production, photography shoots, and scoring by different media professionals. It is expected that approximately $1,184,328.00 will be expended on building renovation materials, machinery and equipment. The value of the proposed exemption on City of Fort Worth $.02 sales taxes on eligible tax exempt items will be approximately $23,686.56. Other locations within the proposed Zone can be designated as Qualified Media Production Locations by the State and receive the same sales tax exemptions, but only if nominated by the City Council. There is a limitation of three Locations allowed at any one time in a Zone. Other areas in Fort Worth can be designated as MPDZ in the future, to the extent approved by the City Council and permitted under the Act. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that the estimated loss in sales tax revenue to the City is anticipated to be $45,904.00. This reduction in revenue will be built into the City's financial plan.
