assessment, and all persons desiring to be heard were given a full and fair opportunity to
be heard at the Public Hearing;
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted and adjourned the Public Hearing to
consider the expansion of the Tourism PID; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
1. Recitals.
The findings set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are found to be true
and correct.
2. Findings.
The City Council, after duly considering the evidence and testimony
presented at the Public Hearing and based on all information known by the City
Council, hereby makes the following findings:
2.1 Petition and Boundaries.
(a) The current boundaries of the Tourism PID consist of noncontiguous areas
authorized under Section 372.0035 of the Act consisting solely of hotel
properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the
City of Fort Worth. A list of the original hotels that are included within
the boundaries of the Tourism PID is included in the Establishing
Resolution.
(b) Section 372.0121 of the Act allows the City Council to include additional
properties in the Tourism PID if (i) the property is a hotel and (ii) the
property could have been included in the Tourism PID without violating
Section 372.005(b-1) of the Code when the Tourism PID was created
regardless of whether the record owners of the property signed the original
petition. As evidenced below, the hotel properties set forth in Exhibit
"A", which is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes
("Additional Hotel Properties"), meet the necessary elements for inclusion
into the Tourism PID.
(i) The Additional Hotel Properties to be included in the Tourism PID
as part of this Resolution are all hotel properties.
(ii) The City Council found that the original petition for the Tourism
PID was sufficient because it had been signed by record owners of
taxable real property liable for assessment that constituted: (a)
73.13% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment and (b) 62.96% of the area of all taxable real property
liable for assessment (see Establishing Resolution). The property
owners, or their duly authorized representatives, for all of the
Additional Hotel Properties have each signed a petition
requesting inclusion within the Tourism PID. This results in an
increase to 73.9% of appraised value of taxable real property liable
for assessment and 64.4% for the area of all taxable real property
liable for assessment.
2.2 Advisability and Feasibility of the Improvements and Services
Proposed for the Tourism PID. It is advisable to expand the Tourism PID
to include the Additional Hotel Properties set forth herein 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
performed an analysis of the Tourism PID, its service plan and strategies, and
concluded that it provides a very effective means for significantly enhancing
the ability of Fort Worth to promote its hotel, convention, and tourism
activity, which has been borne out since the Tourism PID's establishment.
Based on this analysis and the successful history of the Tourism PID, 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
proposed improvements and services to be provided within the expanded
boundaries of Tourism PID include, without limitation, marketing, 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 seven
(7) year period beginning on October 1, 2020 and ending on the expiration of
the Tourism PID as provided in Section 3, the estimated total cost of the
improvements and services to be provided by the Tourism PID will be
$37,220,037.00, which includes an estimated cost of $4,178,453.00 for the
2020-2021 fiscal year.
For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the estimated cost of the above-referenced improvements
and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements and services is:
Incentives and Sales Efforts $1,855,554
Marketing and Research
Promotion/Advertisin $1,443,208
Site Visits & Familiarization Tours $ 309,259
Cultural Enhancements through
Marketing and Promotion of the Arts $309,259
operations and Administration $206,173
City Administrative Fee $55,000
Total $4,178,453
Such estimated costs are reasonable and appropriate. The estimated costs of
improvements and services provided in the 2020-2021 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 25, 2020, 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
seven-year service plan proposed for the Tourism PID is attached hereto as "Exhibit B"
("Service Plan") and incorporated herein for all purposes. The Service Plan budget and
assessment amount are subject to annual review and approval by the City Council.
2.5. Method of Assessment. The costs of the improvements and services will be
funded from assessments levied on and collected from properties 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 the new hotel
properties located within the expanded boundaries of the Tourism PID ("Hotel Parcel") in
an amount equal to two percent(2%) of the consideration received for occupancy of any
sleeping rooms furnished by a hotel located on a Hotel Parcel (subject to any lawful
exemption of the hotel occupancy tax under applicable state law and City ordinances),
with such assessments to be collected in the same manner and 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 collection of
assessments will be made at the same time hotel occupancy taxes are collected on and
after October 1, 2020. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed method of
assessment is reasonable and necessary.
2.6. Apportionment of Costs Between the Tourism PID and the City, as a Whole.
The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID, inclusive of the Additional Hotel
Proeprties, and the City, as a whole, is as follows:
(a) The entire cost of each improvement and service will be paid from
assessments levied in accordance with Chapter 372 of the Act.
(b) No City funds will be used to pay any portion of the cost of any
improvement or service, unless such funding is approved from the City Council or
other appropriate municipal authority on a case-by-case basis.
3. Inclusion of Additional Hotel Properties within the Tourism PID; Term.
Based on the findings set forth above, the City Council authorizes the expansion of the
boundaries of the Tourism PID to include the Additional Hotel Properties. The inclusion of the
Additional Hotel Properties within the Tourism PID takes effect on the date on which this
Resolution is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City in accordance with
Section 372.010(b) of the Act and will expire concurrently with the expiration date set forth in
Section 3 of the Establishing Resolution. The expansion of the Tourism PID is subject to all
conditions, limitations, and reservations set forth in the findings in Section 2. All other
provisions of this Resolution shall be effective from and after adoption of this Resolution.
4. Advisory Body.
The City Council hereby declines to appoint an advisory body for the expanded Tourism
PID boundaries pursuant to Section 372.008 of the Act. The City Council hereby reserves the
right to assign responsibility for preparation of the ongoing service plan for the PID to another
entity in the absence of such an advisory body, as authorized by Section 372.013(a)of the Act.
5. Publication.
The City Secretary is hereby directed to publish notice of the City Council's
authorization to establish the PID once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.
ADOPTED this 18t'day of August 2020.

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
Logname: 25PID 18ESTABLISHTOURISMPID Page 1 of 3
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.

SCOPE OF WORK for the Fort Worth Convention &Visitors Bureau(FWCVB)
on behalf of the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District(FWTPID)and the Fort
Worth Tourism Public Improvement District Corporation(FWTPIDC)
Summary
The Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau (FWCVB) proposes to contract with the Fort
Worth Tourism Public Improvement District Corporation(FWTPIDC). The contract will enable
the FWCVB to implement additional marketing and incentive programs to secure increased
convention, group, and other hotel activity to the City of Fort Worth. The contract will be
funded by Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District (FWTPID) proceeds received from
a two percent special assessment levied against all hotels with 100 or more rooms within the City
of Fort Worth.
To implement this program, the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as FWTPIDC) Board will adopt an annual budget along with specific ;
ROI requirements for marketing and incentive expenditures. The FWTPIDC Board shall adopt
incentive and marketing policies and protocols under which the FWCVB can pursuant to
advance approval by the FWTPIDC Board, implement projects if the project meets the preset
criteria adopted by the FWTPIDC Board. The FWTPIDC Board may choose to provide
adjustments to the annual plan throughout the budget year that are not inconsistent with the
annual adopted FWTPID budget and service plan. The FWCVB shall expend FWTPID proceeds
only for proposals that meet the ROI standards and protocols adopted by the FWTPIDC Board of
Directors unless a specific exception is approved by a majority of the FWTPIDC Board of
Directors.
Mission of the FWTPID: The Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District is a public
improvement district dedicated to improving convention and group hotel bookings and hotel
room night consumption in the City of Fort Worth.
Purpose of the Public Improvement District and the Non-Profit Corporation: The creation
of the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District and of the Fort Worth Tourism Public
Improvement District Corporation is to ensure the effective and judicious allocation of district
assessment revenues to accomplish the above noted mission of the District.
Start-Up Costs for Creation of the PID
It is understood by both the FWTPIDC and by the FWCVB that there are certain start-up costs
for creation of the district. These costs include the consulting, legal, and administrative services
that enabled creation of the district, and the administrative costs to the city for implementing the
district. State law provides for the reimbursement of these costs from the proceeds of the District
once it is established and the FWCVB will coordinate the presentation for
(34)
payment/reimbursement of these costs to the FWTPIDC Board for their approval. It is estimated
that these costs will total less than$xxx,xxx.
Ongoing Administrative Costs for the PID
Similarly, it is understood by both the FWTPIDC and by the FWCVB that there are certain
ongoing administrative costs for operation of the district. These costs include the consulting,
legal, and administrative services that enable sustaining the operation of the district, and the
administrative costs to the city for processing payments of the assessments to the district. State
law provides for the reimbursement of these costs from the proceeds of the District and the
FWCVB will coordinate the presentation for payment/reimbursement of these costs to the
FWTPIDC Board for their approval. It is estimated that these costs will total less than$xxx xxx
per year.
General FWTPIDC Operations
Obligations and Expenditures: The FWCVB is authorized to enter into contracts and otherwise
obligate and spend FWTPIDC funds only in accordance with the FWTPIDC Board approved
budget and plan. The FWCVB shall not incur obligations or indebtedness for the current or any
future fiscal year in excess of its fund balance and/or anticipated revenues that will be available
by the fiscal year in which the obligation must be paid.
Requisitions to utilize FWTPIDC funds will only be sought by FWCVB staff for initiatives that
meet the FWTPIDC ROI criteria as outlined in the FWTPID budget and operating plan. The
FWCVB CFO must review all such expenditures to ensure compliance with this agreement and
the approved FWTPIDC budget and plan. Staff utilizing FWTPIDC funds shall,be bound by
current FWCVB travel and expense policies.
Maintenance of FWTPIDC Funds: All assessment funds received from the City of Fort Worth
for the FWTPIDC shall be deposited in a bank account separate from all other FWCVB funds.
Utilized banking institutions shall be FDIC insured and maintain a minimum of either a Moody's
rating of `Baal" or higher, or a Standard & Poor's rating of "BBB+" or higher. An annual
investment strategy and goals shall be presented to the FWTPIDC Board as part of the annual
plan and budget approval process for funds that do not need to be reserved for maintenance and
operation of the district.
Insurance and Audit Services: The FWCVB shall secure insurance and financial and
performance audit services for matters pertaining to the FWTPIDC. The representation contracts
will generally go out through a RFP process in compliance with the city's MWBE-guidelines.
Recommendations will be brought to the FWTPIDC Board for approval. The completed
performance and annual audit reports will be provided to the FWTPIDC Board and to the PID
Administrator for the City of Fort Worth.
(35)
Staffing Pattern and Duties Summary
The FWCVB will accomplish its contractual duties for the FWTPIDC through a mix of contracts
with outside firms, very limited hiring of new staff, and utilization of existing FWCVB staff.
The costs for each of these resources will be allocated to the FWTPID solely based on the
percentage of time spent on FWTPID functions that are within the approved FWTPID budget
and action plan. Below is a summary of the anticipated staffing pattern,duties, and costs related
to the FWTPIDC with a total anticipated administrative cost of under$xxx,xxx.
Approvals from FWTPIDC Board
Approval of Budget,.Operating Plan, and Amendments/Exceptions: The annual FWTPIDC
budget and operating plan will be presented to the FWTPIDC Board for approval at a meeting at
least 30 days prior to the start of each fiscal year, other than the initial fiscal year of the TPID.
Proposed amendments or exceptions to the annual plan or to the ROI protocols may be presented
to the FWTPIDC Board for approval at their quarterly meetings. If there is a very time sensitive
matter, recommendations for amendments or exceptions may be presented to the FWTPIDC
Board at other times through email or specially called meetings, in accordance with the
FWTPIDC bylaws. For the purposes of this agreement, amendments may also include the
addition or deletion of previously approved marketing or sales initiatives.
Overall Goals for FWTPID Marketing and Promotion Initiatives: The goals of the FWTPID
marketing and promotion initiatives will be outlined definitively in each year's annual plan that
will be approved by the FWTPIDC Board. The target audience will include convention and
meeting planners, business travelers,and leisure travelers.
Requests for Exceptions to ROI Requirements: While the FWCVB does not anticipate the
need to ask for exceptions to the ROI Requirement, it is possible that such a situation may
present itself For example, there may be a meeting that requires more incentives than the ROI
in lodging nights would indicate (e.g.; conventions held by ASAE, MPI, etc.) but offers the city
and its hotel sector access to entities that can bring much other needed conventions and groups to
our area. In such scenarios and other meritorious situations, the FWCVB staff may bring such
items up for consideration to the FWTPIDC Board for their review and consideration. A brief
summary of the anticipated ROI and an explanation of the grounds for considering an exception
will be provided to the FWTPIDC Board. Whether to grant such an exception will be at the
discretion of the FWTPIDC Board. Similarly, the FWTPIDC Board, one of its members, or a
funding hotel within the district may propose such an item for consideration by the FWTPIDC
Board for its review and consideration.
Shifting Between Expenditure Categories: The FWCVB has the.authority to propose to the
FWTPIDC Board a shifting of resources between categories for approved activities and efforts.
Shifts between categories shall not exceed 10%. Similarly, the FWTPIDC Board on its own
motion may propose, approve and require such a shifting of resources.
Conflict of Interest Administration: It is possible that certain hotel members of the
FWTPIDC, -and in certain cases a majority of the board, will have an interest in a city-wide or
(36)
regional convention or meeting that may be marketed or provided incentives through the
FWTPID. In such cases, the FWCVB shall work with the involved board member(s) to file the
appropriate conflict of interest forms as outlined in the bylaws for the FWTPIDC and shall
secure the needed votes to authorize the project as outlined in the bylaws for the FWTPIDC.
Reports to the FWTPIDC Board
Reports on Status of Projects/Expenditures: Quarterly and annual reports shall be provided to
the FWTPIDC Board on the progress of the FWCVB staff in implementation of the FWTPID
programs. These reports will indicate the status of progress on the approved plan, financial
statements, bank balances, and a cash flow statement showing the timing of actual FWTPID
revenues and expenses. The quarterly financial statement, balance sheet, and statement of
activities shall be maintained and presented in compliance with General Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) for non-profit corporations. These reports shall be similar to those currently
produced by the FWCVB, incorporating the items contained in the FWTPIDC board approved
plan and budget.
The FWCVB staff will also provide courtesy copies of the quarterly and annual reports to the
PID Administrator for the City of Fort Worth for further distribution.
Financial Statements: The FWTPID cash flow statement will show the timing in which actual
assessments will be collected and when they will be spent. In accordance with standard practices,
the FWCVB may book meetings that will be held a number of years later. In this case,a meeting
may be booked, and an obligation made, in one year;but the incentive expense will not actualize
until the meeting occurs (up to twenty years in the future). With this in mind, revenues will be
shown over the ten-year term of the district, while expenses are shown over a twenty-year period
(ten years past the initial ten year term of the PID). As the attached sample indicates, balances
are carried forward, and all FWTPID assessments along with any earned interest will be
proposed for expenditure over the booking period for eligible FWTPID marketing, events, and
programs. In accordance with city and state law, any funds not obligated during the term of the
district must be returned to the city for distribution back to the assessed properties.
Access to FWTPID Materials: Reasonable access to all FWTPID related materials and
information shall also be available to the FWTPIDC Board at all times. Courtesy copies of these
reports will also be emailed to the Fort Worth City Manager for further appropriate distribution.
Requests for access to FWTPID documents by other parties will be handled as required under the
Texas Public Information Act.

Budget and Eight-Year Service Plan,and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1, Adopt the attached ordinance suspending the following until September 1,2020:
a. The application of those portions of Section 2.6 of Resolution 4837-08-2017 and Section 4 of Ordinance No.23838-09-2019 that provide
for the collection of Tourism Public Improvement District Assessment,penalties,interest,and fees in the same manner as hotel occupancy taxes

1,2020.
2. Adopt the attached Resolution amending the Tourism PID's Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget and Eight-Year Service Plan, reducing
expenditures and total budget to reflect a reduction in projected revenues,a portion of which is proposed to be offset by use of fund balance;and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Fort Worth Public Improvement
District 18—Tourism Fund in the amount of$853,468.00,from available,unreserved fund balance,to partially offset projected lost revenues of
$2,295,395.00.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication(MSC)has two main purposes:(1)to provide a deferral period to hotels that delays the requirement for
them to make payment of hotel occupancy taxes(HOT)and Tourism Public Improvement District(Tourism PID)Assessments without most interest,
penalties,or other fees applying;and(2)to amend the corresponding Tourism PID's Fiscal Year(FY)2019-2020 budget and eight-year service
plan.
One of the industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 situation has been tourism and,specifically,the hotel industry. In Fort Worth,the hotel occupancy
rate has dropped from approximately 80%to single digits. In some cases,hotels have closed because they were losing too much money to stay
open without guests.
I. Deferral of HQJ and Toilrlsm PID Ajilselarnents
At this time,the biggest issue for hotels is the need for cash so that they have an opportunity to stay in business. A few weeks ago,the Hotel
Association of Tarrant County and the Texas Hotel and Lodging Association approached the City requesting this deferral as a means to help Fort
Worth hotels stay afloat during this unprecedented time.
Upon adoption of the attached ordinance,the HOT and Tourism PID Assessment payment deferrals for Fiscal Year 2020 will operate as follows:
A.HOT
Principal Prim pal Amount Penalties,
Amount Interest,and Penalties,Interest,
(Original Due (Deferral Due Fees and Fees (Deferral
Date) Date) Due Dater
(Accrual Date)
Deferred to Sept. 1-

May Jun(! 1 Deferred to Sept. June 26 Deferred to Sept. 1
June July 1 Deferred to Sept. JL+J 26 DuArred to Sept. 1
August 1 Deferred to Sept gust 26 Deferred to Sept. 1
Amynk ep�emW 1 No deferral SepilarriIiir 26 No deferral 'For any unpaid principal amounts attributable to
and owed for the months of February—July of
2020,fees,penalties,and interest will resume
SepOpnbwodokrcr 1 No deferral October 26 No deferral September 1,2020
As a condition to receiving the deferral,the
hoteliers will be required to report their gross and net room revenue(gross room revenue subject to HOT less allowable exemptions)during the
deferral period so the City can record a receivable to track the amounts due and payable. This information will also provide valuable insight into
the pace of recovery of the travel and tourism industries.
The revenues from the local HOT were pledged to bonds the City Issued for the construction of Dickies Arena. Staff analyzed the financial
situation and determined that granting a deferral as proposed would not Interfere with the City's ability to make the debt service payments that will
become due during the brief period while the deferral is in effect. In addition,by allowing the hotels to defer payments In the short tern,the City will
be aiding in their liquidity and assisting them in their efforts to survive the current situation,thereby enhancing HOT as a revenue source in the
longer term. Based on these factors and the fact that the full amount of HOT would be due and payable after the deferral ends,the City's Bond
Counsel determined that a deferral would be allowable under the terms of the Arena bonds.

II. Tourism PID Mid-Year Adjustments
The Tourism PID is funded through a 2%assessment on the consideration received from occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a hotel in
the Tourism PID. Due to the steep drop in hotel occupancy rates as a result of the COVID-19 situation,Tourism PID Assessment revenue is now
projected to be 45%less than originally budgeted.
Consequently,staff has proactively worked with the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District Corporation(FWTPIDC)and the Fort Worth
Convention and Visitors Bureau(CVB),which are the contracted Tourism PID managers,to conduct a mid-year review of the Tourism PID's FY
2019-2020 budget.City staff,FWTPIDC,and CVB have identified the need to decrease the Tourism PID Assessment revenue by$2,295,395.00
to account for the 45%reduction in assessment revenue. FWTPIDC and CVB request the use of fund balance in the amount of$853,468.00 to
cover operational expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year.The budgeted expenses show a reduction in each category line item for the current
fiscal year service plan(see table below).

LOG NAME: 13FMS PID18EXPANDTPID

(ALL)Conduct Public Benefit Hearing to Declare the Sufficiency of a Petition to Include Additional Hotels within the Fort Worth Public
Improvement District No. 18-Tourism PID and Adopt a Resolution authorizing and expanding Fort Worth Public Improvement District No. 18
Tourism PID to Include Additional Hotels
(PUBLIC HEARING-a. Report of City Staff:Anthony Rousseau; b. Public Comment;c.Council Action:Close Public Hearing and Act on the
M&C)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public benefit hearing concerning the sufficiency of a petition to include five(5)additional hotels within the Fort Worth Public
Improvement District 18—Tourism;
2. Find that the petition requesting inclusion into the Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18—Tourism meets the requirements set forth in
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 the additional hotels to be included in the Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18—Tourism,the estimated
costs of such improvements and services,the method of assessment,the boundaries of the Tourism,and the apportion of costs between the
Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18— Tourism PID and the City,as a whole,and(ii)authorizing and expanding the Tourism to include
five(5)additional hotels;and
4. Direct the City Secretary to public notice of the expansion of the Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18—Tourism as required by Chapter
372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to expand the boundaries of Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18-Tourism
(Tourism PID)through the inclusion of five(5)additional hotel properties.
On August 29,2017,the City Council adopted Resolution No.4837-08-2017,establishing the Tourism PID(Original Resolution).
Boundaries and Petition:
The current boundaries of the Tourism PID consist of noncontiguous areas authorized under Section 372.0035 of the Texas Local Government
Code(Code)consisting solely of hotel properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City of Fort Worth.A list of the
original hotels that are included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID is included in the Original Resolution,a copy of which is attached to this
M&C.
Section 372.0121 of the Code allows the City Council to include additional properties in the Tourism PID if(i)the property is a hotel and(ii)the
property could have been included in the Tourism PID without violating Section 372.005(b-1)of the Code when the Tourism PID was created
regardless of whether the record owners of the properly signed the original petition.With regard to the second element,the Code requires the
petition to be signed by the record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment that constitute more than 60%of the appraised value and
area of all taxable property liable for assessment within the Tourism PID. If the addition of the new properties results in these numbers dropping at
or below the 60%threshold,then the properties may not be added.
The properties to be included in the Tourism PID as part of this M&C meet both of the above-stated elements and,therefore,may be considered
by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID.
First,the following five properties to be included in the Tourism PID are all hotels:
a. Hyatt Place Fort Worth,TCU,2500 West Berry Street, Fort Worth,Texas 76109(Noticed in the newspaper as 3029 Sandage Ave, Fort
Worth,Texas 76109;due to pending TAD account verification)
b. Kimpton Hotel,714 Main Street,Fort Worth,Texas 76102
c. AC Hotel Fort Worth Downtown, 101 West 5th Street/610 Main St.,Fort Worth,Texas 76102
d. OGC Main Street,Spring Hill Suites—2315 N.Main Street,Fort Worth,Texas 76164
e. Moon Hotel Alliance, Hyatt Place—3201 Alliance Town Center, Fort Worth,Texas 76177
With regard to the second element,the City Council found that the original petition complied with Section 372.005(b-1)of the Code because it had
been signed by record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment that constitute:(a)73.13%of the appraised value of taxable real
property liable for assessment and(b)62.96%of the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment(M&C BH-366).The property owners,
or their duly authorized representatives,for all five hotel properties have signed a petition requesting inclusion within the Tourism PID.This results
in an increase to 73.9%of appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment and 64.4%for the area of all taxable real property liable
for assessment. Because the percentages are still above the 60%threshold,the properties meet the second element.
Nature of the Improvements
The goals of the 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
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.
Method of Assessment and Apportionment of Costs
The assessment rate will be an amount equal to two percent(2%)of the consideration received from the occupancy of any sleeping room
furnished by a hotel located within the Tourism PID,with such assessment to be collected in the same manner and 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.
Estimated Costs of the Improvements and Services
The total estimated costs for the proposed services and improvements for the life of the Tourism PID(approximately 7 years)will be
$37,220,037.00,which includes an estimated cost of$4,178,453.00 for the Fiscal Year 2021.Assessments will begin on October 1,2020.
Advisability
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 expanded boundary of the Tourism PID.
Upon the close of the public hearing,staff recommends that the City Council declare the petition to expand the Tourism PID to include the five
additional hotel properties to be sufficient and adopt the attached Resolution making findings concerning the following and expanding the Tourism
PID:
• The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID and the City,as whole.
• The proposed method of assessment;and
• The expanded boundaries of the Tourism PID;
• The estimated costs of the proposed improvements and services;
• The general nature of the proposed improvements and services;
• The advisability of expanding the Tourism PID;
Upon adoption of the Resolution,the new hotel properties will be included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID,effective on the date that City
Council's authorization to expand the Tourism PID has been published in a newspaper of general circulation and will expire on the date set forth in
the Original Resolution.
The City Council will hold two public hearings to consider the proposed budget,plan of service,and levy of assessments against property within
the PID,which will be held during the regular City Council meetings on Tuesday,August 18,2020,and Tuesday,August 25,2020. The City Council
is expected to take final action and vote on the proposed budget,plan of service,and levy of assessments following the close of the hearing on
August 25,2020.
These properties are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because: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 these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
