DIS C USS ION: The City of Fort Worth 's Department of Economic Development administers the City's Public Improvement Districts (PIDs). The City's PIO Po licy outlines the need to proactively work with the City 's PIO management companies to oversee the services being provided within each of the PIDs. PIO 1 -Downtown (Downtown PIO) is managed by Downtown Fort Worth Inc., (DFWI). On September 13 , 2022 , City Council adopted Ordinance No . 25710-09-2022 , approving the fiscal year (FY) 2022-2023 Budget , Five-Year Service Plan , Assessment Plan , and Tax Year 2022 Assessment Ro ll for the Downtown PIO . After conducting a mid -year review of the Downtown PID 's budget , City staff and DFWI has identified the need to increase Downtown PID 's (City of Fort Worth) allocations by $42,087 .00 to account for 1) $424 .00 of add itiona l payment in-lieu of services and 2) $41,663 .00 of additiona l City payment in-lieu of assessments. The additional revenue increase will resu lt in a reduction to the origina l use of the fund balance in the amount of $41 ,247 .00 . Expenditure adjustments can be primarily attributable to a reallocation of landscaping and maintenance operations to the ambassador program to account for inflation. Two line items listed on the Five-Year Service Plan require a transfer of City funds : (1) the City Payment In-Lieu of Services and (2) the City of Fort Worth Assessme nt. The City's Payment In-Lieu of Services is a supp lemen t to the PIO budget and intended to prov ide for the standard leve l of improvements and services as comparable to what would be provided by the City for the taxpayers generally. The City of Fort Worth payment in- lieu of Assessment is an allocation to the PIO budget for assessments the City would pay on City-owned properties in the Downtown PIO, if the C ity was not a tax-exempt entity .
