public hearing, it is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: (a) approve the attached Budget and Five -Year Service Plan; (b)
approve the 2019 Assessment Roll; and (c) adopt the attached ordinances levying the proposed assessments and appropriating funds.

The total budgeted costs of the improvements are in the amount of $2,324,544. Of this amount, $1,790,204 will be funded by assessments
collected on privately owned parcels located in the Heritage PID by applying a rate of $0.17 per each $100 of property value for residential
property and $0.11 per each $100 of property value for commercial property. The remainder of the costs in the amount of $534,340 will be funded

For Fiscal Year 2019 (tax year 2018), the City Council levied an assessment rate of $0.19 cents for each $100 of property value for residential
property and $0.11 cents for each $100.00 of property value for commercial property. The Heritage PID experienced growth in net taxable value
equal to2%, or $20,461,272, allowing for the residential assessment rate to be reduced by $0.02. Thus, the recommended Fiscal Year 2020 (tax
year 2019) recommended assessment rate is $0.17 per each $100 of property value for residential property and $0.11 per each $100 of property
value for commercial property value.

published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on August 8, 2019 and mailed to all record owners of property in the Heritage PID on August 7, 2019, in
accordance with state law. Included within those notices was a draft of the Fiscal Year 2020 based upon an $0.18 assessment rate. City staff
has since agreed on a recommended rate of $0.17 and has finalized the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget in the amounts shown.
The Heritage PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 7.
