NOW THEI.EFORE:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COtTNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH,
TEXAS, THAT:
I.
Said hearing be, and the same is hereby, closed and the said protest and objections, and any and all other
protests and objections, whether herein enumerated or or not, be and the same are hereby, overruled.
II.
The Pity Council, from the evidence, finds that the assessments herein levied should be made and levied
against the respective parcels of property abutting upon the said portions of streets, avenues and public places
and against the owners Of such property, and that such assessments and charges are right and proper and are
substantially in proportion to the benefits to the respective parcels of property by means of the improvements
in the unit for which such assessments tire levied, and establish substantial justice and equality and uniformity
between the respective owners of the respective properties, and between all parties concerned, considering the
benefits received and burdens imposed, and further finds that in each case the abutting property assessed is
specially benefited in enhanced value to the said property- b�v means of the said improvements in the unit upon
which the particular property abuts and for which assessment is levied and charge made, in a sum in excess of
the said assessment and charge made against the same by this ordinance, and further finds that the apportion-
ment of the cost of the improvements is in accordance with the law in force in this City, and the proceedings of
the City heretofore had with reference to said iniprov��nients, and is in all respects valid and regular.
III.
There shall be, and is hereby, levied and assessed against the parcels of property herein below mentioned,
and against the real and true owners thereof (whether such owners be correctly named herein or not) the sums of
money itemized be',ow opposite the description of the respective parcels of property and the several amounts
assessed tigainst the same, and the owners thereof, as far as Such owners tire known, being as follows:
IV.
Where more than one person, firm or corporation owns an interest in any property above described, each
said person, firm or corporation shall be personally liable only for its, her or his pro rata of the total assessment
against such property in proportion as its, his or her respective interest bears to the total ownership of such
property, and its, his or respective interest in such property may be released from the assessment lien upon pay-
ment of such proportionate sum.
V.
The several sums above mentioned and assessed against the said parcels of property, and the owners
thereof, and interest thereon at the rate of six per cent (6f: ) per annum, together with reasonable attorney's
fees and costs of collection, if incurred, are hereby declared to be and are made a lien upon the respective parcels
of property against which the same are assessed, and a personal liability and charge against the real and true
owners of such property, whether such owners be correctly named herein or not, and the said liens shall be and
constitute the first enforceable lien and claim against the property on which such assessments are levied, and
shall be a first and paramount lien thereon, superior to all other liens and claims, except State, County, School
District and City ad valorem taxes.
The sums so assessed against the abutting property and the owners thereof shall be and become due and
payable as follows, to-wit: in five (5) equal installments, due respectively on or before thirty (30) days, one (1),
two (2), three (3), and four (4) years from the date of completion and acceptance of the improvements in the
respective unit, and the assessments against the property abutting upon the remaining units shall be and become
due and payable in such installments after the date of the completion and acceptance of such respective units, and
shall bear interest from said date at the rate of six per cent (61'(' ) per annum, payable annually with each install-
ment, except as to the first installment, which shall be due and payable at the maturity thereof, so that upon the
completion and acceptance of the improvements in a particular unit, assessments against the property abutting
upon such completed and accepted unit shall be and become due and payable in such installments, and with
interest from the date of such completion and acceptance. Provided, however, that any owner shall have the
right to pay the entire assessment, or any installment thereof, before maturity by payment of principal and
accrued interest, and provided further that if default shall be made in the payment of principal or interest
promptly as the same matures, then the entire amount of the assessment upon which such default is made shall,
at the option of said City of Fort Worth, or its assigns, be and become immediately- due and payable, and shall be
collectable, together with reasonable attorneys fees and cost of collection, if incurred, PROVIDED, however,
that acting through its duly authorized Director of Public Works the City of Fort Worth retains the right to
authorize payment of the sums assesed against abutting property upon such completed and accepted unit in not
more than forty-eight (48) equal regular monthly installments of not less than $0.00 each, the first of such
installments to become due and payable not more than thirty (30) days after the completion and acceptance by
the City of the particular unit. PROVIDED FURTHER, that the City Attorney is hereby empowered to authorize
payments of said sums of lesser installments and/or over a longer period of time in cases in which the Director
of Public Works has previously determined that an extreme financial hardship upon the property owner will
otherwise result; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that sucli method of payments shall be authorized only in instances
where the owner or owners of property abutting upon such completed and accepted unit shall have executed and
delivered to the City of Fort Worth a lawful, valid and binding note and mechanic's and materialman's contract
upon forms supplied by the City- granting a mechanic's lien upon and conveying the said abutting property in
trust to secure the payment by said owner or owners according to the terms thereof of the sums assessed against
such property.
If default shall be niade in the payment of any assessnent, collection thereof shail be enforced either by

ner provided for the sale of property- for the non-payment of ad valorem taxes, or at the option of the City of
Fort Worth, or its assigns, payment of said sums shall be enforced by suit in any co
urt of competent jurisdic-
tion, or as provided in any mechanic's or materialman's contract as aforesaid, and said City shall exercise all of
its lawful powers to aid in the enforcement and collection of said assessments.
VII.
The total amount assessed against the respective parcels of abutting property, and the owners thereof, is
in accordance with the proceedings of the City relating to said improvements and assessments thereof, and is
less than the proportion of the cost allowed and permitted by the law in force in the City.
VIII.
Although the aforementioned charges have been fixed, levied, and assessed in the respective amounts
hereinabove stated, the City Council does hereby reserve unto itself the right to reduce the aforementioned
assessments by allowing credits to certain property owners where deemed appropriate. Notwithstanding the City
Council has herein reserved the right to issue credits, it shall not be required to issue credits, and will not do so,
if same would result in any equity and/or unjust discrimination.
The principal amount of each of the several assessment certificates to be issued the City of Fort Worth,
Texas, as hereinafter provided, shall be fixed and determined by deducting from the amount of any assessment
hereinabove levied such amount or amounts, if any, as may hereafter be allowed by the City Council as a credit
against the respective assessments.

WILKEb On February 6, 1979 (M&C C-4507), the City Council declared the necessity
for and ordered the improvements on Allen Avenue, Project No. 013-022149-00,
as described below. A construction contract was awarded to J. L. Bertram
Construction & Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $265,340.22, and March 6,
1979, was set as the date for the Benefit Hearing. All adjacent property
owners were notified of the hearing by certified mail on February 16, 1979.
Project Description
Roadway R.O.W.
Street Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet
Allen Avenue Lipscomb Street 44-60 at 64-80 at
to St. Louis Avenue Hemphill Hemphill
Origin of Project
The 1976-78 Capital Improvement Program provides for the upgrading and widen-
ing of Allen Avenue by constructing a collector grade roadway from Lipscomb
Street east to St. Louis Avenue. This project will provide a suitable connec-
tion between Hemphill Street and St. Joseph and John Peter Smith Hospitals.
Improvements
Allen Avenue in this area is currently 30-feet wide with asphalt pavement and
curb and gutter. Improvements will include construction of a 44-foot wide
collector grade roadway of concrete pavement, curb and driveway approaches.
Left-turn lanes will be provided at Hemphill Street. Also included will be
5 foot wide concrete sidewalks, constructed adjacent to the curb on both sides
of the street for the length of the project, to provide for pedestrian traffic
to the hospitals and to the bus route on Hemphill Street. Storm drainage
facilities include minor adjustments and appurtenances.
Assessments and Enhancement
Standard policy dictates that when an existing street, constructed in the past
to City .standards is improved and widened, residentially-zoned property is
assessed only for curb, gutter and driveway approaches where none presently
exist. Property Zoned other than residential is assessed for non-existing
curb, gutter and driveway approaches plus pavement widening. In the case of
Allen Avenue, property zoned other than residential is being assessed for
5-foot pavement widening on each side of the street, Property zoned other
than residential containing an owner-occupied residence is being assessed one-
half of the rate for 5-foot pavement widening. An independent land appraiser
was retained by the Public Works Department to assist the staff in making
DATE NUMBENCE SUBJECT: Benefit Hearing - Allen Avenue PAGE

recommendations regarding enhancement of adjacent property, It is the
opinion of the appraiser that each parcel of land being assessed will be
enhanced in value by the amount or more than the proposed assessment.
The Public Works Director agrees with the appraisal report which will be
available at the Benefit Hearing.
Recommendation
It is recommended that:
1) An ordinance be adopted closing the hearing and levying the
assessments as proposed; and
2) City Council stipulate that if any of the adjacent property
is rezoned to residential during the project construction
period, the assessments will be reduced to no assessment.
