EXHIBIT "C"
I. TAXING UNITS' TAX INCREMENT PERCENTAGES
A. Fort Worth Independent School District ("FWISD")
1. Commencing for the tax year 1996 and ending on the
earlier of the tax year (a) 2003 or (b) in which
bounds or other obligations secured by the Tax
Increments are issued, FWISD will deposit into the
Tax Increment Fund an amount equal to 1000 of its
Tax Increment.
2. For the remaining term of this Agreement FWISD will
deposit into the Tax Increment Fund an amount equal
to 1000i of the product of (x) the Captured
Appraised Value within FWISD times (y) the lower of
the tax rate per $100 valuation levied for the then
current tax year by either the City of Fort Worth
or FWISD (the "Alternate Rate".)
B. City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Tarrant County
Hospital District, Tarrant County Junior College District
and Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement District
Number One (collectively, the "Other Taxing Units".)
1. For each year during the term of this Agreement,
the Other Training Units will deposit into the tax
Increment Fund an amount equal to 100% of their
respective Tax Increments as defined in Section I.
II. LIMITATIONS ON TAX INCREMENT DEPOSITS
A. Deposit Limitation. The total amount of Tax Increments
deposited annually into the Tax Increment Fund by all TIF
Taxing Units shall not exceed $5,000,000 (the "Deposit'
Ceiling"), and the amount of each TIF Taxing Unit's Tax
Increment deposit shall not exceed its pro rata share of
the Deposit Ceiling. Each TIF Taxing Unit's pro rata
share is the product of $5,000,000 times a fraction, the
numerator of which is each TIF Taxing Unit' s tax rate and
the denominator of which is the sum of the tax rates of
all TIF Taxing Units; provided, however, FWISD's tax rate
for purposes of its numerator and for purposes of the
denominator shall be the Alternate Rate if such rate is
then in effect. By way of illustration, set forth on
Schedule 1 hereto are examples of each TIF Taxing unit's
pro rata share of the Tax Increment deposits which will
be required in the event the Deposit Ceiling is reached.
In accordance with Section 311.013 of the Act, the TIF
Taxing Units shall not be required to pay tax increment
into the tax increment fund of the Reinvestment Zone
after three (3) years from the date the Reinvestment Zone
has been created unless:
1
1. bonds have been issued for the Reinvestment Zone
under Section 311.015 of the Act to finance the
Project.
2. the City has acquired property in the Reinvestment
Zone pursuant to the project plan, or

SUBJECT APPROVAL OF INCREMENT CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS TO
TIF BOARD OF .DIRECTORS FOR TIF ZONE NUMBER THREE IN DOWNTOWN FORT
WORTH
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute interlocal tax increment contribution agreements
between the City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Tarrant County Hospital District, Fort
Worth Independent School District, Tarrant County Junior College, and Tarrant County
Water Control and Improvement District Number One, respectively;. and
2. Contribute 100% of the increment generated by the City within Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone Number Three to the TIF Fund; and
3. Appoint five (5) individuals to represent the City on the TIF Board of Directors; and
4. Appoint Councilmember Kenneth Barr to serve as Chairman of the TIF Board of Directors.
DISCUSSION:
On December 19, 1995, the City Council approved M&C G-11350 (Ordinance #12324) which
created Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Three. This zone includes much of the
downtown north of 6th Street.
Each of the respective Tarrant County taxing entities have agreed to contribute 100% of their
respective tax increments to the TIF Fund to support public improvements in the downtown TIF
zone. The Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) has agreed to contribute 100% of
its increment until the year 2003, after which FWISD's contribution will be equal to the
contribution made by the City.
Following execution of these agreements, all taxes levied on the increase in appraised value,
beginning with the January 1, 1996 appraisal, will be contributed to the TIF Fund. Contributions
will be made throughout the life of the zone; which is for 30 years. However, the zone may be
dissolved before the thirtieth (30th) year if all bonds and other obligations of the zone have been
satisfied. In no event shall tax contributions total more than $50 million during the life of the TIF.
Regarding composition of the nine (9) member TIF Board of Directors, the Tax Increment
Financing Act provides that the State Senator and State Representative whose districts include
the zone area shall be members of the Board, except that they may, at their pleasure, designate
another person to serve in their place. In addition, Tarrant County, the Fort Worth Independent
School District (FWISD), and Tarrant County Junior College (TCJC) are each entitled to appoint
one member of the Board. TCJC has agreed to waive its appointment. Therefore, the City of
Fort Worth will appoint five persons to the Board. According to the TIF Act, each of the City's
appointees must be at least 18 years of age and the owner (or be an employee or agent of the
owner) of real property in the zone. It is recommended that the City Council appoint the
following persons to the TIF Board for a two year term beginning -with the date of approval of
this M&C.
