City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/18/2004
DATE: Tuesday, May 18, 2004
LOG NAME: 12COUNTY REFERENCE NO.: C-20084
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Amendments to Agreements with Tarrant County and Tarrant County
Hospital District for Participation in Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three, City of Fort
Worth, Texas (Downtown TIF)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to the
agreements with Tarrant County (County) and Tarrant County Hospital District (Hospital District) increasing
the scope in which the County and the Hospital District will contribute tax increment to the Downtown TIF.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council designated the Downtown TIF on December 19, 1995 via Ordinance No. 12324. The
County and the Hospital District agreed to contribute tax increment generated by property located in the
Downtown TIF pursuant to interlocal agreements with the City (City Secretary Contract Nos. 21825 and
21823, respectively) (the Interlocal Agreements).
On October 30, 2001, the City Council expanded the Downtown TIF via Ordinance No. 14839. This
additional area included property between W. 6th and W. 7th Streets and property west of Calhoun Street,
including the Santa Fe Rail Market (the Expanded Area). Under state law, a taxing unit is not required to
contribute tax increment to a TIF unless that taxing unit enters into an agreement to do so with the
municipality that has designated the TIF. Because the Interlocal Agreements covered only the dedication of
tax increment from property originally included in the Downtown TIF, it is necessary that they be amended
to allow the County and the Hospital District to contribute tax increment to the Downtown TIF from property
in the Expanded Area as well.
The Downtown TIF is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that these transactions will have no effect on City funds.
