DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth(City)and the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau d/b/a Visit Fort Worth(VFW)are parties to City Secretary
Contract Number 44949(as previously amended and addended),a professional services agreement,under which VFW markets and promotes
Fort Worth as a business and leisure destination(Agreement).The Agreement requires VFW to prepare and submit a yearly marketing plan to the
City that includes the marketing and promotional activities and services to be performed by VFW for the upcoming fiscal year to promote the entire
City and all of its facilities and amenities. Funding for the general marketing is derived from a certain percentage allocation of hotel occupancy tax
collections,subject to an annual"true up".
In 2021,the City began an aggressive campaign to raise its profile,which was outlined as a key objective in the Economic Development Strategic
Plan(Plan)prepared by TIP Strategies.In order to enhance those efforts,City desires for VFW to increase the funding under the Agreement to
utilitize a nation-wide public relations firm to grown national recognition for economic development progress and business opportunities through
increased exposure.
Costs for these services were not accounted for in the City most recently-approved budget and will be incurred during the period between April 1,
2022,and December 31,2022. Therefore,funding for the additional services is in addition to,and falls outside of,the funding model under the
current Agreement and do not affect the general funding percentage allocation or the associated true up process. VFW will expand its contractor
for national public relations support to include stories that support Fort Worth's economic development agenda. The City agrees to reimburse
VFW in an amount up to$90,000. The City will receive a report outlining the activities and results for the period of April-August 2022. These
payments will be a reimbursement for actual costs incurred by VFW for the increased expansion to the Agreement with their national public
relations firm.
The actions in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021,Section 1.
