the City for infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret,
or other intellectual property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part
thereof, in accordance with this Agreement, it being understood that this agreement to
indemnify, defend, settle or pay shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the
Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and expense of payment for claims or actions
against the City pursuant to this section 8, Vendor shall have the right to conduct the defense
of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise and to settle
or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have the right to fully participate in any
and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to protect the City's interest,
and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City, for whatever reason,

participate and cooperate with the City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give
Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may

materially adversely restricted, Vendor shall, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy,

Deliverable(s) to make them/it non -infringing, provided that such modification does not
materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the Deliverable(s); or (c) replace the
Deliverable(s) with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives is
reasonably available to Vendor, terminate this Agreement, and refund all amounts paid to
Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all remedies
available to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
SECURED BY THE REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE AND AMOUNTS SET

violation of the Act, City hereby objects to such provisions and such provisions are hereby deleted
from the Agreement and shall have no force or effect. In the event there is a request for information
marked Confidential or Proprietary, City shall promptly notify Vendor. It will be the responsibility

SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Urban3, LLC in the
Amount Not to Exceed $405,066.00 for Consultation Services Related to the
Development of a Financial Equity Analysis Tool
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a professional services agreement
with Urban3, LLC in an amount not to exceed $405,066.00 for consultant services with the City's
Department of Diversity & Inclusion to develop and implement a Financial Equity Analysis Tool that
will assist city officials in making fiscally sound and equitable decisions about infrastructure
improvements and land -use.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth has demonstrated a substantial commitment to innovation in fiscal
accountability while increasing municipal equity and resiliency through data -driven decision -making
and community engagement. The City's commitment is evidenced by combining the framework
developed for analyzing equity in municipal service delivery from the Diversity and Inclusion
Department with the focus within Planning and Data Analytics to tie long-range planning and key
performance indicators to resource allocation through the Capital Improvement Plan and budget
development process. The goal of combining fiscal accountability and equity work is to create and
maintain a more sustainable and equitably prosperous community for all.
Urban3, LLC is uniquely positioned to heighten the City's level of financial intelligence, equity, and
innovation by building on the work of the City's existing key performance indicators for service delivery,
the established framework for assessing equity in service delivery while strengthening the City's ability
to proactively study land value economics, property and retail tax analysis, and equitable, financially
sustainable community design and smarter growth.
Urban3, LLC's staff of geoaccountants and tax system experts have conducted analyses in over 160
communities and 35 states in the United States, as well as communities in New Zealand, Canada, and
Australia. They demystify tax codes, government jargon, and municipal finance data, allowing
communities to clearly understand the economic impact of development. To aid in the City's
existing efforts, Urban3, LLC will work with the City's Department of Diversity & Inclusion and the
Planning and Data Analytics Department to develop and implement a financial equity tool by:
ESTABLISHING BASELINE ANALYSIS FOR VALUE PER ACRE AND EQUITY IN ASSESSMENT
REVENUE ANALYSIS
In order to commence the economic analysis for Fort Worth, the Urban3 team will work with City staff
to gather all necessary property assessment and parcel data from various City departments, as well as
the Tarrant County Assessor and the assessors from Denton, Parker, Johnson, and Wise Counties. In
addition, Urban3 will work with the appropriate departments to collect any other data applying to
geospatially related revenue streams. This process may include organizing, cleaning, and translating
the data across many formats to ensure these various revenue streams can be analyzed on an
apples -to -apples basis. This data set and subsequent model will provide the platform upon which all
additional analyses will be layered.
CREATING THE FORT WORTH 3D MODEL
After the parcel and sales tax data is processed and all errors are corrected, Urban3 will prepare 3D
visualizations that provide a new way of seeing Fort Worth -in which fiscal efficiency, or inefficiency, is
immediately apparent.
BUILDING THE FORT WORTH COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC STORY
Upon completing the data processing and analysis, Urban3 will storyboard all findings, conducting a
deep dive into all of the data outputs. Urban3 will create a holistic economic story for the City,
evaluating the impacts on the City's future municipal finances of potential investments or incentives in
identified areas within land -use and infrastructure departments including Transportation and Public
Works, Water, Development Services, Information Technology Solutions and supported by analysis
departments of Diversity and Inclusion, Planning and Data Analytics, and the City Managers Office.
Urban3 will use a sample of both common and unique types of development in the region at a variety
of scales to demonstrate the tax generation potency of different types of buildings and uses. These will
be used as an educational tool to inform policymakers, City staff, and the public.
ESTABLISHING A FRAMEWORK TO PLAN FOR FORT WORTH'S FUTURE FINANCIAL
HEALTH
The results of Urban3's analysis for the City will clearly demonstrate the economic potency of different
areas within Fort Worth and the region. Because of the scale of the analysis, the City will be able to
see the economic effects of infill and mixed -use projects within the same market. Fort Worth can utilize
the findings from the study to inform potential adjustments to public policy to maximize the City's fiscal
productivity.
Through Urban3's analysis, the City will glean information about the development patterns across the
community, leading to stronger decision -making based on the public's return on investment. This
approach will provide transparency regarding the actual cost of growth and resulting long-term
obligations, while informing decisions that create an equitable, healthy, sustainable fiscal future for
Fort Worth.
EQUITY IN PROPERTY ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
UrbanTs research, along with emerging national evidence, suggests that there are long-standing
racial inequities in property tax administration that place unfair financial burdens on low income
residents and communities of color. These disparities may have cascading impacts on housing
affordability, gentrification, displacement, household economics, and may ultimately become a driver
of community health disparities.
Building upon the Revenue Analysis, Urban3 will examine state and local tax policies and practices for
evidence of systemic algorithmic and human biases.
Social, Economic, and Demographic Focus
Urban3 will provide City staff, officials, and citizens with a comprehensive suite of socio-demographic
characteristics neighborhood by neighborhood, to compare with fiscal characteristics of neighborhoods
and districts, and evaluate the way civic systems are built today. Enabling a better understanding of
intended and unintended consequences and the policies -that may cause or alter current outcomes.
After assembling all data, Urban3 will test for patterns and insights.
Characteristics to Evaluate
Household income
Median home value
Education (Bachelor's degree and higher)
Use of City Prosperity Index (CPI) Dimensions and Indicators
Healthcare cost per capita
Households with broadband internet access
Owner -occupied, renter -occupied, vacant housing units
Population density
Employment (civilian workforce)
Building permits
TRAINING CITY STAFF TO REPLICATE AND REFRESH ANALYSIS MODELS
Urban3 will train city staff in the creation and maintenance of the data and communication tools
generated by this initial analysis.
SHARING THE ANALYSIS
Urban3's analysis will assist the City staff with developing policy recommendations to the City
Council, City Plan Commission, and other land use -related commissions. Urban3 will work with
elected and appointed officials to educate them in cumulative economic thinking, allowing City leaders
to fully understand the true costs of development in a visual way as they make policy decisions. In
addition, Urban3 will present the resulting final models to the broader community to inform their
understanding of the true costs of development and maintenance, and its relationship to taxation.

Baseline Analysis
Phase 1: Value Per Acre And Equity In Assessment Revenue Analysis
PROCESS
In order to commence our economic analysis for Fort Worth, the Urban3 team will work with
your staff to gather all necessary property assessment and parcel data from various City
departments, as well as the Tarrant County Assessor and the assessors from Denton, Parker,
Johnson, and Wise Counties. In addition, Urban3 will work with the appropriate departments to
collect any other data applying to geospatially related revenue streams. This process may
include organizing, cleaning and translating the data across many formats, to ensure we can
analyze these various revenue streams on an apples -to -apples basis. This data set and
subsequent model will provide the platform upon which all additional analyses will be layered.
UrbanTs analytic method focuses on normalizing tax values on a per -acre basis. Our core
process is broken into two phases. First, parcel data with ownership, tax values, exemptions,
and building information is cataloged and processed. Many times, there are anomalies in Tax
Assessor's files that misrepresent acreage amounts or allocate tax values across multiple
semi -related parcels. Our team will dedicate time to correcting and synthesizing different tax
parcel data for the City.
CREATING YOUR 3D MODEL
After the parcel and sales tax data is processed and all errors are corrected, Urban3 will move
on to visualizing the information. Our visuals are a new way of seeing the world in which fiscal
efficiency —or inefficiency —is immediately apparent. While we use a variety of visual techniques,
our primary method for displaying value per acre and revenue metrics is with ESRI's ArcScene.
ArcScene's ability to create 3D representations of land value, tax value, and value per acre
trends in vertical "spikes" allows us to clearly display a huge amount of information. Market
variability and inequitable tax valuations, and of course, value per acre efficiency across the City
will be easily displayed in 3D using ArcScene. Also, tax millage rates will be applied to parcel
data to show the amount of taxes each development or area actually pays, versus its assessed
tax value.
BUILDING YOUR COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC STORY
Following the data processing and analysis, our analysts work with Mr. Minicozzi to storyboard
all findings. Over a period of days, our staff conducts a deep dive into all of the data outputs.
From this, we will create a holistic economic story for the City, as well as the impacts of
potential investment or incentives in identified areas, upon the City's future municipal finances.
Urban3 will use a sample of both common and unique types of development in the region at a
variety of scales to demonstrate the tax potency of different types of buildings and uses. These
will be used as an educational tool to inform both City staff and the public.
OUTCOMES: HOW TO PLAN FOR YOUR COMMUNITY'S FUTURE FINANCIAL
H EALTH
The results of our analysis for the City will clearly demonstrate the economic potency of the
downtown areas within each municipality and the region. Because of the scale of the analysis,
the City will be able to see the economic effects of infill and mixed -use projects within the
same market. Your community can utilize the findings from the study to inform potential
adjustments to public policy to maximize the City's fiscal productivity.
Through our analysis, the City will glean information about the development patterns across
the community, leading to stronger decision -making based on the public's return on
investment. It is sometimes assumed that budget problems can be solved by creating more
growth, yet more growth in unproductive patterns —more cost than revenues —will only increase
economic problems. What is needed is an approach that provides transparency regarding the
cost of growth and long-term obligations to create a healthy, sustainable fiscal future for your
community and the entire region.
HOW WILL YOU SHARE THE ANALYSIS WITH OUR COMMUNITY?
The goal of our work is threefold. First, the analysis will assist the city staff with policy
recommendations to council and planning commission or land use -related commissions.
Second, Urban3 will work with elected and appointed officials to educate them in cumulative
economic thinking, allowing them to understand the true costs of development in a visual way
as they make policy decisions. Lastly, we will present our final models to the broader
community to inform their understanding of the true costs of development and maintenance,
and the relationship to taxation.
At the beginning phases of the project, Joe Minicozzi will visit Fort Worth and share examples
of our approach with council and staff. At the conclusion of the project, Joe Minicozzi will visit
Fort Worth again, and deliver the results of the analysis. We will rely on your staff to help
coordinate and market any presentations. Mr. Minicozzi can also conduct workshops with staff
and any stakeholders.
EQUITY IN PROPERTY ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
Our research, along with emerging national evidence, suggests that there are long-standing
racial inequities in property tax administration that place unfair financial burdens on low income
residents and communities of color. These disparities may have cascading impacts on housing
affordability, gentrification, displacement, household economics, and may ultimately become a
driver of community health disparities.
Building upon the Revenue Analysis, we propose to interrogate state and local tax policies and
practices for evidence of systemic algorithmic and human biases. Algorithmic biases result from
discrepancies and deficiencies in the math used to assign taxable values to buildings and land.
Since 'value' is subjective, whereby people use discretion, interpretation, and judgment to
determine how much and what is prioritized in every market, the valuation process is subject to
human bias. Left unchecked, our work shows that these biases exacerbate existing racial and
economic inequities.

Land Value Change for Single Family Residential (2020-2021) in Buncombe County, NC
Our ultimate outcome of interest is broad understanding enabling bold and transformative
change in the public policies and standards of practice that govern property tax administration.
By sharing the findings of our work with elected officials and voters, our hope would be to
visualize the extent of the potential bias in Tarrant County's approach to assessment, and make
recommendations for policy change based on our findings.

PHASE 2: Equity in Public Service Delivery and Funding Production
Urban3 approaches our work from an equity framework that acknowledges there are two
essential and interrelated functions for any local government. The first is to deliver a bundle of
public services to residents; the second is to collect public revenue to fund the operation and
administration of local government. Within either of these essential functions, there exist
potentials for inequity to emerge and/ or persist.

Potential Source of Inequity: Differential Service Provision
All local governments have a responsibility to deliver a bundle of essential public services.
Often these services include some combination of education, health and human services,
transportation, public safety, economic development, planning and arts & culture. Achieving
equity in the delivery of these services requires that all residents are provided with public
services commensurate with their need. Any gradients in public service delivery— where some
community members receive a surplus of services, while some remain underserved— may be a
factor contributing to inequity.
From this perspective, Urban3 will evaluate the General and Fund activities, including public
safety, parks, neighborhood services, economic development, property management,
transportation and public works, planning, development, public libraries, and general
management of the city. This evaluation will help uncover patterns in the accessibility, quality,
and equity of public service delivery according to the race/ethnicity, age, gender, employment
status, and income of the residents of the City of Fort Worth, Texas.
Potential Source of Inequity: Revenue Production
A truism about local government is that someone has to pay for it. Property taxes (28%), sales
tax (13%), and charges for services (34%) represent a majority (74% in total) of the sources of
revenue for the City's General Fund. Through these channels, City of Fort Worth community
members fund local government with the expectation they will receive the benefits of public
services in return. The City of Fort Worth and the State of Texas have many policies and
12
practices in place to ensure that revenue production for local governments is administered in a
fair and equitable manner. However, unless the revenue production is interrogated specifically
from an equity perspective, it is possible for subtle, even inadvertent outcomes to place a
disparate burden on those least able to withstand it.
From this perspective, Urban3 will evaluate the primary sources of revenue production for the
City. Current methods of revenue production will be contextualized within the broader legacy
of historic practices and policies that impact current fiscal realities for the City (for example the
long-term financial implications of redlining).
Above: A map of neighborhoods that were redlined in the City of Fort Worth. Historic policies of
redlining have current impacts on neighborhood and economic development.
Composite Model
Who pays for and who benefits from the public services provided by the City of Fort Worth,
TX?
Urban3 will produce a composite model of revenue production and service delivery for the
identified departments in the City. This composite model will identify patterns of revenue
production— specifically whether revenue production channels may be placing unfair financial
burden on any community members— in relation to service delivery, focusing on whether any
13
community members are over-/ under- served. Taken together, the composite model will
identify opportunities to advance equity in the revenue production and service delivery of the
City of Fort Worth.
Transportation and Public Works (TPW) - Transportation Focus
Transportation and Public Works is responsible for keeping the city moving on all the roadways,
paths, and sidewalks that make everyday life possible. With a capital plan and digital model of
the roadway system existing now, the department is kept busy carrying out repairs and
improvements. The next step is to take a step back, and consider the very real, but very long
term, commitment it is to maintain all of the city streets in decent condition, endlessly. This
lifecycle analysis can reveal how impending needs can be met with existing levels of funding, or
what would be needed to maintain road condition continually. Then, both the funding and
spending alternatives can be compared on a map to the locations of various populations and
indicators to test for equitable distribution of collecting funding and providing service.
Available Data Sets: Full roads with condition, complete planimetrics, mapped future
spending, road origin date, Viewworks inventory
Existing Plans to examine: Active Transportation Plan, Thoroughfare Plan, Capital Plan, Asset
Management Report
Equity Analysis: Application of Equity in Service Delivery and Funding framework to TPW
