Management and Improvement Services Agreement with Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. for PID 14 (Trinity Bluff) 20 of 22 EXHIBIT "D" ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY This concerns the allocation methodology for shared expenses related to Contractor's management of Public Improvement Districts 1 — Downtown and 14 — Trinity Bluff (collectively, "PIDs") as well as its own private operations. Contractor is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing Downtown Fort Worth and its surrounding streets. Funding for Contractor comes from two sources: (1) members, and (2) PID assessments. Contractor uses both of these funding sources to carry out its operations, which often includes sharing expenses between the funds for things that are difficult to parse, including warehouse expense, uniforms and expense for an ambassador program. Contractor contracts with the City to manage the annual improvements and services for the PIDs pursuant. As part of those agreements, the City pays Contractor a monthly management fee, which covers all administrative costs incurred by Contractor to perform its duties and responsibilities under the agreements, including insurance, rent, office space, telephone charges, office and general supplies, employee insurance, salaries, clerical costs, project management fees and costs, staff expenses, professional development, training, education, and a like. Because certain common Contractor operations are funded by both member dues and PID funds, it is important to set forth the allocation methodology for sharing those expenses so that the City can ensure that the PIDs' funds aren't being expended to subsidize the operations of a private entity. As such, the City and Contractor have agreed to the following cost allocation methodology: Warehouse Expense: 3% Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. 16% PID 1 — Downtown 1 % PID 14 —Trinity Bluff *Allocated by square footage; 80% allocated to separate entity (Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives Inc.) Uniforms (Aramark): 94% PID 1 — Downtown 6% PID 14 — Trinity Bluff *Allocated by acreage covered for each district; PID 1— 540 acres/ PID 14 — 33 acres Ambassador Program (Block By Block): 100% PID 1— Downtown (Ambassador Program and Homeless outreach) 100% PID 14 — Trinity Bluff (1 part-time ambassador) *Allocated by use Management and Improvement Services Agreement with Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. for PID 14 (Trinity Bluff) 21 of 22 EXHIBIT "B" ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER INFORMATION AND APPOINTMENT PROCESS ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS 1 Tom Struhs Struhs Construction 2 Debbie Diaz TownePlace Suites by Marriott 3 Kent Bogle Villa De Leon Resident 4 Anthony Renda Southland Holdings LLC 5 Jeff Fulenchek Carleton Residential Properties *This list is subiect to change due to retirement, relocations, reassip-nments, death, etc. Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. will Drovide the PID Administrator with an undated list on an annual basis.
