APPOINTMENT PROCESS
The PID 7 Advisory Board is an informal committee that advises and coordinates with the PID
Manager on matters related to budget, expenditures, and general direction of the District's endeavors
towards improvement and operations of PID 7 (Heritage). The Board will be composed of five
positions for property owners (or authorized representatives of property owners). The Board will act
in an advisory role. Member selection is comprised of the current membership of the Heritage
Homeowners Association Board of Directors. At the discretion of the City, membership on the
Advisory Board may be changed and subject to specific terms (i.e. Specific neighborhood
representation, districts, etc.) in order to ensure equal representation of the PID membership or to
separate itself from the membership of the HOA Board of Directors if in the best interest of the City
and/or HOA.

ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY
This memo serves as a confirmation of the agreed -upon resolution regarding the allocation
methodology for shared expenses related to FirstService Residential Texas, LLC's management of
the Public Improvement District 7 - Heritage, as well as the Heritage Homeowners Association's
(HOA), own private operations. FirstService Residential is a private, for -profit organization
dedicated to managing PID 7 - Heritage, and the Heritage HOA (a non-profit organization) dedicated
to overseeing the Heritage community. PID 7 - Heritage and the Heritage HOA boundaries
encompass the same land area.
FSR contracts with the City of Fort Worth to manage the annual improvements and services for the
PID pursuant to City Secretary Contract Number 58421 ("Agreement"). As part of the Agreement,
the City reimburses FirstService Residential for all actual and necessary expenses incurred to perform
the improvement and services of the PID. FirstService Residential also contracts with the Heritage
HOA to manage the HOA operations.
Because certain common FirstService Residential operations are funded by both PID funds and HOA
funds, it is important to set forth the allocation methodology for sharing those expenses so that the
City can ensure that the PID funds are not being expended to subsidize the operations of the Heritage
HOA. As such, the City's Department of Economic Development, in coordination with FirstService
Residential, has agreed to the following cost allocation methodology:
Salary — FirstService Residential Maintenance Worker:
50% PID 7 - Heritage
50% Heritage HOA
*Allocated by 40 Hours per week hourly rate
Salary — FirstService Residential Lifestvle Manager:
50% PID 7 - Heritage
50% Heritage HOA
*Allocated by 40 Hours per week salary
