INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER THREE, CITY OF FORT
WORTH, TEXAS; ACKNOWLEDGING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE OTHER
CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND APPOINTING A CHAIRPERSON

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Fort Worth (the "City Council")
previously adopted Ordinance No. 12324 creating Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
Number Three, City of Fort Worth, Texas (the "Reinvestment Zone"); and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 12324 provides that the Reinvestment Zone is to be
overseen by a nine (9)-member Board of Directors (the "Board"), of which one (1)
member is the State Senator whose district lies within the Reinvestment Zone or a
designee; one (1) member is the State Representative whose district lies within the
Reinvestment Zone or a designee; the Fort Worth Independent School District, Tarrant
County College District, and Tarrant County, if they have elected to contribute tax
increment to the Reinvestment Zone, may appoint one (1) member each; and the City
Council has the right to appoint all remaining members; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 2853, which was passed by the 82nd Texas Legislature and
took effect on June 17, 2011, amended Section 311.009 of the Texas Tax Code regarding
the appointment of members to the Board of tax increment reinvestment zones and
prevails over any conflicting provision of Ordinance No. 12324; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 31 1.009(b) of the Texas Tax Code, as amended
by House Bill 2853, all taxing units other than the City that have elected to contribute
tax increment to the Reinvestment Zone now have the right to appoint one (1) member
each to the Board; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 31 1.009(b) of the Texas Tax Code, as amended
by House Bill 2853, the size of the Board remains nine (9) members; therefore, for each
taxing unit that has now gained the right to appoint a Board member, the City Council
will lose the right to make an appointment; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of House Bill 2853, and taking into
account appointments to the Board that have been made by the taxing units who have
exercised their rights to appoint a member, only two (2) City Council - appointed Board
members may continue to serve; and
