On February 12, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 5052-02-2019 establishing Fort Worth Public Improvement District No.
20, East Lancaster Avenue (East Lancaster Avenue PID). State law requires an annual report on the proposed budget and Five -Year Service Plan
for the East Lancaster Avenue PID, which is attached. The general nature of the improvements and/or services to be provided in the East
Lancaster Avenue PID include:
• A Management Program to provide for the administration and operation of the East Lancaster Avenue PID;
• A program to enhance and promote public safety within the East Lancaster Avenue PID by providing private security services, installing
security cameras, coordinating awareness campaigns, and initiating efforts to address public safety and enhance economic vitality;
• A coordinated communication program to assure that businesses located within the East Lancaster Avenue PID benefit from shared
information about security, infrastructure improvements, transportation improvements, capital improvement programs, opportunities to
coordinate marketing and promotions, and other opportunities where business awareness and information can help businesses; and
• A cooperative program with local governments, neighborhood groups, foundations, universities, and others to assist with obtaining grants or
other special funding to undertake studies, historic preservation/restoration, landscape improvements, street improvements, and other
streetscape amenities in the East Lancaster Avenue PID.
On December 15, 2020, the City Council adopted a Revised Policy for Operating Public Improvement Districts (Resolution 5312-12-2020), which
sets forth the City's administrative fee structure for all PIDs. The City's administrative fee is set at the greater of: (1) two percent (2%) of the
projected externally generated revenue for that year, to include special assessments and any City contributions, or (2) $2,000.00.
The proposed 2021 Assessment Rate on property subject to assessment in the PID is $0.266 per each $100.00 of valuation. City property is not
subject to assessment in the East Lancaster PID. Subsequent actions will formally establish the assessment rate and the corresponding budget
for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. The proposed 2021 Assessment Roll for the East Lancaster Avenue PID has been on file with the City Secretary and
available for public inspection during normal business hours.
The East Lancaster Avenue PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 5 & 8.
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.
