DISCUSSION:
On June 23, 2009, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 3756-06 2009 re-establishing Fort Worth Public Improvement District 1 -
Downtown (Downtown PID).
The purpose of this benefit hearing is to receive comments from the public regarding the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget and five-year service plan
for the Downtown PID and the proposed assessments to be levied on each property in the Downtown PID for the 2024 tax year. Following the
public hearing, it is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: (1) adopt the attached ordinances approving and adopting the
budget, five-year service plan, assessment plan, and assessment roll; (2) levying the proposed assessments; and (3) appropriating funds.
The improvements and services to be provided in the Downtown PID during fiscal year 2025 and the costs thereof are as follows:

Total Expense $ 3,614,051.0d
The total budgeted costs of the improvements and services are $3,614,051.00. Of this amount, $3,001,274.00 will be funded by assessments
collected on privately -owned parcels located in the Downtown PID by applying a rate of $0.13. The remainder of the costs in the amount of
$612,777.00 will be funded by other revenue sources including: (a) $366,346.00 in direct payments from the City for Payment In -Lieu of
Assessments, which are calculated at the same rate as the privately -owned parcels, (b) $156,431.00 in direct payments from the City for Payment
In -Lieu of Services, (c) $90,000.00 in revenues generated by Downtown PID activities.
For Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (tax year 2023), the Downtown PID levied an assessment of $0.13 per $100.00 of property value. The Downtown P1D's
estimated net taxable value increased by $90,511,018.00, or 3.76%, allowing the assessment rate to remain at $0.13 to maintain current service
levels. However, the Downtown PID has experienced a shortfall in projected budgeted revenue over the past five years, primarily due to decreased
commercial property values and numerous properties under protest at the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) at the time of budget approval. This
situation has caused the Downtown PID's reserve levels to fall below the City's targets. City staff assumes a collection rate of 92.5%, to more
accurately reflect the estimated revenues after accounting for the final impact of protested properties within the Downtown PID. This adjustment
effectively reduces projected revenues to accommodate levy variances due to protests at the appraisal district. City staff and Downtown Fort
Worth Inc., will continue to monitor property values and the associated fund balance annually to ensure that the Downtown PID monitor compliance
with reserve levels over the duration of the five-year service plan term. Therefore, the recommended Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (tax year 2024)
assessment rate is $0.13 per $100.00 of taxable property value.
On August 27, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed 2024-2025 Fiscal Year budget, five-year
service plan, and 2024 assessments for the Downtown PID. Notice of the August 27, 2024, benefit hearing and this hearing were published in
the Fort Worth Star -Telegram and mailed to all owners of property on record in the Downtown PID on August 16, 2024 in accordance with state
law. The Downtown PID Advisory Board recommended approval of the budget.
Funding will be budgeted within the FWPID #1 - Downtown Fund for Fiscal Year 2025.
The Downtown PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION_! CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget by the City
Council, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2025 operating budget, as appropriated, in the FWPID #1 - Downtown Fund. Prior to any
