DISCUSSION:
Due to increased development along North Riverside Drive /Old Denton Road and North Tarrant Parkway,
traffic congestion has increased and safety has become a concern. To help alleviate this problem, the Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Seven (TIF 7) Board of Directors approved funding for
improvements to North Riverside Drive /Old Denton Road between Heritage Trace Parkway and Dalton
Street on April 30, 2010.
On September 14, 2010, the City's Housing and Economic Development Committee recommended
supporting additional improvements to North Riverside Drive in -line with the community's priorities. In
response to the Committee's recommendations, on September 30, 2010, the TIF 7 Board of Directors
approved the execution of a Development Agreement with the City of Fort Worth for the widening of North
Riverside Drive /Old Denton Road between Heritage Trace Parkway and Golden Triangle Boulevard (City
Contract No. 41452 - Phase II), with the project to be financed through an Interfund Loan Agreement
between the Aviation and Transportation and Public Works Departments.
As design progressed, it became clear that the road improvement project would come in under budget.
Therefore, the TIF 7 Board of Directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the Development Agreement on
June 25, 2012 to expand the definition of "Project" to include design and construction costs to improve
North Riverside Drive /Old Denton Road between Golden Triangle Boulevard to North Tarrant Parkway.

Expenditure Policies for Gas Lease Revenues as outlined in the City's Financial Management Policy
Statements (FMPS) and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration's Policy and Procedures
Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue.
Pursuant to the FMPS, loan repayment must be from an independent revenue source and not from the
City's General Fund. In this case. the loan will be reimbursed by increment collected in theT|F 7 district. ||

percent. As this seven-year period is longer than the five-year payback policy outlined in the City's F&1PS.

within five years.
