An enterprise zone is a targeted area of high unemployment wherein emphasis is placed on business development which will create jobs, stimulate further economic revitalization and reduce economic distress in the zone. The purpose of any enterprise zone program is to create jobs and stimulate investment in areas of economic distress . BACKGROUND OF THE ENTERPRISE ZONE CONCEPT: The enterprise zone approach to economic revitalization was first applied in the United Kingdom during the 1970 's . The British judge that their Enterprise Program has been highly successful . The enterprise zone concept became a key economic initiative of the Reagan administration, but efforts to get U. S. Congressional action on enterprise zones were stymied during Reagan's first and most of his second term of office. While efforts toward a national enterprise program bogged down, many states began developing their own Enterprise Zone programs . On the federal level , a compromise enterprise zone program was legislated as Title VII of the 1987 Housing and Urban Development Act . However, there does not appear to be any movement towards implementing that program until federal incentives are adopted by Congress . FEDERAL ENTERPRISE ZONE: Title VII permits the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to recognize up to 100 federal enterprise zones ( 67 urban and 33 rural ) . The zones are to be chosen based entirely on rank order of economic distress . Initial rules for the Federal Enterprise Zone program were published in August , 1988 , and a competitive application period ended January 17 , 1989 . No specific federal incentives for federal enterprise zones have been set forth. It is anticipated that specific incentives will be established. Eligibility requirements for a federal enterprise zone are as follows : 1 . Minimum population of 4,000 2 . Continuous boundary -ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS Page 2 of 6 INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7476 OPP To the Mayor and Members of the City Council July 17 , 1990 Subject: ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES 3. Pass the following tests of economic distress : a. Unemployment rate at least 1 . 5 times the national unemployment rate. b. Entire area must have a poverty rate of at least 20%. C. Area meets or exceeds one of the following: - 70% of all households have incomes below 80% of the median household income of the city, or - population decline of 20% or more between 1970 and 1980 . ENTERPRISE ZONES IN TEXAS: 0* After several years of abortive legislative attempts , the Texas Enterprise Zone Act was passed and signed by the Governor in 1987 . In April , 1988 , Texas' first enterprise zones were designated--two in Austin and one in Raymondville. The Fort Worth North Zone was number 8 and the South Zone was number 9 . As of 2/7/90 , there were 57 state-designated zones . Administration of the state enterprise zone program is with the Texas Department of Commerce. This includes adoption of program rules ; coordination of local , state and federal efforts; providing community assistance; evaluating zone and project applications; and monitoring and reporting to the State Legislature on program effectiveness . The State provides direct development incentives for a limited number of enterprise zone projects to support economic redevelopment in the most distressed areas of the State . The major incentive is a refund of certain state sales tax which is provided to state-designated "enterprise projects". Enterprise Proiects The Texas Department of Commerce may select a limited number of busi- nesses to qualify for a refund of certain state taxes in exchange for jobs held by "qualified employees" . A qualified employee is one who resides in an enterprise zone or was formerly economically disadvantaged (e.g. , unemployed) . Only two projects per zone per year can be designated and there can only be a limited number of projects state-wide. Before the Texas Department of Commerce can consider an application for a business to become a state-designated ISSLIED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS Page 3 of 6 INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7476 `6ECaar��p To the Mayor and Members of the City Council July 17 , 1990 Subject: ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES project , the business must be nominated by resolution of the local governing body. Applications are carefully evaluated, and state selection is based on 60% local economic distress and 40% public/ private local effort . No enterprise project will be designated after August 31, 1991 ; however, up to three state-recognized "qualified businesses" per city per year may receive certain state benefits beginning September 1, 1991 . only qualified businesses can be considered for project desig- nation or other state benefits. A qualified business is as follows : A. At least 25% of its employees reside in an enterprise zone or have been economically disadvantaged persons before employment with the company; or B. A company moving into the area which commits to hire at least 25% of its employees from residents of the zone or from economically disadvantaged persons. The City must certify to the Texas Department of Commerce that the business is a qualified business before that business can be considered for state benefits. As a state-designated enterprise project, a business is eligible for a maximum of five years for a refund up to $250 ,000 per year of sales taxes on the purchases of : A. equipment and machinery used in the enterprise zone, or B. building materials used in remodeling or constructing a structure in the enterprise zone. Effective September 1 , 1991, a corporation that has been desig- nated as an enterprise project may deduct from its taxable capital allocated to Texas 50% of its capital investment in the enterprise zone in which the enterprise project is located. Effective September 1 , 1991, the City may certify to the Texas Department of Commerce up to three "qualified businesses" per year for certain state benefits. For purposes of this program, the "qualified businesses" must have operated in the enterprise zone for at least three consecutive years and be retaining ten or more jobs held by qualified employees . Only three businesses per year may be sponsored and the three must be evenly distributed among the city's enterprise zones. The benefits are as follows : -ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS Page 4 of 6 INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No.------7 476 To the Mayor and Members of the City Council July 17 , 1990 Subject: ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES A. A one-time refund of certain state sales and use taxes up to $5000 . B. A refund of up to $5 ,000 of its franchise tax. Besides the enterprise zone program administered by the Texas Department of Commerce, the Public Utilities Commission has ruled that the PUC can consider a proposal from an electric utility company for lower rates , up to 5%, for a qualified business in an enterprise zone. In addition to the state incentives for businesses in the enterprise zone, the state legislature adopted H.B. 112 in 1989, which gradually reduces the sales tax on machinery and equipment used in the manu- facturing of consumer products for sale. Beginning in 1991 , the state will refund 25% of the state sales tax paid on machinery and equipment for the manufacturing of consumer products for sale purchased during 1990 and 1991 . Beginning in 1992, the sales tax will reduce by 25% per year to zero in 1995 . Thereafter, such machinery and equipment will be exempt from state sales tax . ENTERPRISE ZONES IN FORT WORTH: Federal Enterprise Zone The City of Fort Worth submitted an application for designation of a large section of the inner-city as a federal enterprise zone. The proposed zone stretches from the city's historic southside, northward through the central business district , into the heart of the historic northside. A map of the proposed zone is included in Attachment "D" . The area includes portions from each of the two state-designated enterprise zones , plus a connecting area which includes the Central Business District . Altogether, the nominated area contains approximately 17 . 6 square miles . Federal rules require that nominations for federal enterprise zone designation must be made jointly by a local and state government. The Fort Worth City Council authorized the application submission on November 11 , 1988, and the Texas Department of Commerce sub- mitted Fort Worth's application to HUD with Texas Department of Commerce approval on January 17 , 1989. However, no action has taken place by HUD on the application. -ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS Page 5 of 6 INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7476 To the Mayor and Members of the City Council July 17 , 1990 Subiect: ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES State Enterprise Zones In addition to the proposed federal enterprise zone, Fort Worth has two state-designated enterprise zones . In late August , 1988, the Texas Department of Commerce approved Fort Worth's applica- tions , designating two enterprise zones in Fort Worth. Maps of Fort Worth's North and South Enterprise Zones are included in Attachment "D". One Fort Worth business has received state designation as an enter- prise project and another has been nominated. The Tandy Corpora- tion in Fort Worth's North Enterprise Zone received its designation on January 31 , 1989, and is the first enterprise project in the Metroplex and one of the first in the State of Texas . The Pastusek project in the South Enterprise Zone will be considered at the August meeting of the Board of Directors of the Texas Department of Commerce . ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES TO BUSINESS INVESTMENT Each local government decides what local incentives will be available for enterprise projects and zones. However, nearly all have a cost factor to the City budget. When the enterprise zones were established, no specific City funds were designated for enterprise zone incentives. Commitments were made as enterprise zone objectives in the City's application for State and Federal Enterprise Zone designation using existing programs , personnel and funding. Six types of incentives to investment in enterprise zones were included in the state and federal application package. Attachment "A" is the "Statement of Proposed Enterprise Incentives" which was approved by the City Council in August, 1988 and included in the state and federal application package. ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES: Attachment "B" outlines examples of local incentives as noted in Section 10 of the state law (Texas Enterprise Zone Act , Article 5190 .7) and specific local incentives now permitted in an enter- prise zone (sections 11 through 14) . Attachment "C" lists the enterprise zone incentives proposed by the Historic Southside . ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS Pa e 6 of S INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7476 a Soft To the Mayor and Members of the City Council July 17 , 1990 �Txx�`' Subject: ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES 1#71 CONCLUSION: The most common local incentive is tax abatement , which the City of Fort Worth has addressed with a city-wide policy that includes targeted inner-city areas. Other incentives, such as waiver of fees and refund of local sales tax, have an impact on the City's budget . If the City Council wishes to explore additional local incentives and the related impact on the City budget, staff will bring forward information for Council to use in establishing its policy on enterprise zone incentives. L David Ivory City Manager Attachments ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS ATTACHMENT "A" STATEMENT OF PROPOSED ENTERPRISE INCENTIVES INCENTIVE #1. Enterprise Zone Administrator. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives provided: • Expertise on state and federal enterprise zones . • Expertise on available local , state and federal funds . • Expertise on other local , state and federal assistance. • Marketing of zone benefits and opportunities. • Consultation with eligible businesses . • Processing of requests for assistance. • Compliance with all zone reporting requirements . • Establishment and maintenance of liaison with local , state and federal agencies . b. Strategy for implementation. The Fort Worth Enterprise Zone Program will be administered by the City's existing Economic Development Office. The Economic Development Office currently has personnel with sufficient knowledge of the philosophy and principles of enterprise zone program management . Additional skills and information will be gained through various means as personnel commitments are made. If , or as responsibilities and activity levels of enterprise zone initiatives increase, it may be necessary to add other qualified personnel to the Economic Development Office staff . C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. No additional City funds are required. However, the fact that existing personnel well provide committed services, there are opportunity costs in the form of other activities and duties foregone. Similarly , City funds budgeted to the Economic Development Office for resources other than direct personnel costs may also be redirected specifically to enterprise zone activities . These include budgeted items such as travel , training, publication, communications, information/research, and consulting . If in the future, the level of activity and resources required for compliance with Enterprise Zone Program objectives should increase to the point that other required/desired Economic Development Office responsibili- ties cannot be met, it may be necessary to add other personnel . The addition of one position to be occupied by a _1_ person having the requisite experience and skills , plus a proportionate increase in other Economic Development Office AWw budgeted support , has an estimated cost of $60,000-80,008. INCENTIVE #2: Prioritised Use of Public Funds. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives provided: • Other things being equal and legal , priority will be given to enterprise zones in allocation of public funds for economic development and revitalization. • Expertise in the availability, eligibility requirements, and procedures for obtaining state and federal funds, especially those targeted to enterprise zone activities . • Establish liaison with state and federal agencies which provide assistance in keeping with enterprise zone objectives. • Consultation with eligible businesses on funding sources . • Assistance in facilitating applications for funding. b. Strategy for implementation. The staff of the Economic Development Office or relevant departments of the City government will provide these services . Assigned staff will develop a functioning knowledge and understanding of various funding sources, eligibility requirements, and procedures for accessing funding for economic development . Information on these funding opportunities will be widely communicated to reach eligible businesses . Staff will provide assistance to eligible businesses seeking to apply for funds and in developing effective working relationships with the administering agencies . C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. No additional City funds are required. Nevertheless, the same type of opportunity cost constraints discussed under Incentive #1 are applicable to this incentive. INCENTIVE #3: Enhanced Facilities and Services. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives provided: • Development of a capital improvement strategy for enterprise zones that is linked to EZ program objectives . • Development of a public service delivery strategy for enterprise zones that is linked to EZ program objectives . • Facilitate execution of community facility agreements which further EZ program objectives. -2- o Seek information on state and federal funds which may be available specifically or pertinently to enterprise zones for improvement of public facilities and services. o Consider creation and operation of special procedures for enhancing public facilities and services such as special assessment districts and/or reinvestment zones. b. Strategy for Implementation. City staff assigned to working with the Enterprise Zone Program will need to identify and investigate procedures and resources which may be directed toward the EZ objectives of enhanced public facilities and services . Cooperation in gaining necessary information will be needed from any City departments . Any moves toward actual implementation will depend on the expertise and commitment of departments directly involved in providing infrastructural facilities and services, such as : Water, Transportation & Public Works , City Services , Development, Fire, Police and others . C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. No additional City funds are required at the most basic level of implementation. However, special arrangements for facilities or services could be expected, at minimum, to have some opportunity costs . In the case of special dis- OP'k trict overlays , such as for special assessment districts and/or reinvestment zones, at least some additional level of administrative costs could be expected, the actual level depending on types of organizational agreements that would be made. INCENTIVE #4: Public Transportation. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives provided: • Assign high priority for enhancing accessibility of unemployed persons (especially zone residents) to jobs created in the zone. • Develop a plan for use of public funds to improve geographic mobility of zone residents in order to reduce this barrier for economically disadvantaged persons to attain the benefits of new job creation in the zone. • Allocate public transportation funds in order to provide service to businesses and residents in keeping with the objectives of the Enterprise Zone Program. • Place highest priority on funding specialized service proposals that are based on cooperative agreements with firms who are hiring zone residents to fill new jobs . b. strategy for implementation. -3- The Economic Development Office will work with staff in several City departments in developing an enterprise zone �► mobility plan which focuses on the job-creating investment proposals of firms in the EZ and the mobility needs of economically disadvantaged zone residents. Program activities developed from this plan will be recommended for action by the City Council . The City of Fort Worth's public transit system, The T, is operated under contract with a private management firm. Therefore, all proposals for new or changed service must be negotiated within the limits of contractual responsibility and flexibility. The T's management firm has a past record of making every effort to respond positively and effectively to reasonable proposals in demand for specialized mobility services. Where demand was sufficient, special transit services have been provided to the workers of individual firms and employment centers. Employment centers and residential areas of enterprise zones will be given high priority in proposals requiring route revisions or special services such as express buses. C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. Cost would be determined by City Council 's decision on level of support that can be justified under existing or revised contractual agreements . No additional City funding will be .. required if services can be established through reallocation of resources in response to differing levels of transit service demand. INCENTIVE #5; Job Training Programs. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives . • Develop an enterprise zone strategy through which public funds for job training can be used to provide training programs for zone residents which are directly linked to the needs of firms creating jobs in the zone. • Priority access will be given to employees of eligible businesses in the zone for the use of available public funds for job training. • Special programs or projects can be developed in response to demonstrated need by employers or zone residents for special skill training meeting the job creation and employment objectives of the EZ Program. b. Strategy for implementation. The Working Connection, the City's contractual manager and recipient for Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) funds, has given strong assurance of its support to the primary employ- "��► ment objectives of the Enterprise Zone Program. All -4- proposals for job training programs are carefully considered and decisions for action made by the local Private Industry Council , the governing board for JTPA program funding allocation. The Working Connection has a record of success in an assort- ment of employment enhancement activities, including on-the-job training programs, classroom skill training, job placement , job counseling, etc. Its skilled professionals are committed to work with both employers and job-seekers in the spirit of reaching EZ Program employment objectives. C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. No additional City funding is required. A commitment by the City Council , Greater Fort Worth Private Industry Council , and the Working Connection is needed in order to allocate resources in support of EZ Program objectives. INCENTIVE #6: Improved Employability for Eligible Residents. a. Summary of potential benefits and initiatives provided: • Develop an enterprise zone strategy for addressing problems of employability for economically disadvantaged OP161 persons, including both individual and social obstacles . • Implement existing or design new programs to reduce indi- vidual barriers for entry into the work force including assistance in such things as job search, effective job application and interviewing techniques, and job coun- seling on work orientation, habits and job retention. • Implement existing or new programs which will reduce social obstacles to entry into the labor force including, but not limited to, day care and family counseling services . • Implement existing or new programs which can address problems of temporary economic barriers to labor force entry such as lack of required work clothing, lack of transportation funds, etc. b. Strategy for implementation. Several existing programs administered by the City Depart- ment of Housing & Human Services and the Working connection are designed to alleviate some of the problems of socio- economic barriers to individual 's entry into the labor force. Both agencies have indicated commitment to support Enterprise Zone Program objectives . Much of the residential areas included in the two enterprise zones in the City of Fort Worth are also located in Commun- ity Development Block Grant program target areas . The Neighborhood Advisory Councils for these target areas can -5- play an important advisory role in proposing and developing programs oriented to overcoming individual and social barriers to employment . Parts of the Near North, Far North, and Diamond Hill/Jarvis Heights target areas are included in the North Enterprise Zone. The South Enterprise Zone contains significant parts of the Polytechnic Heights, Near Southeast, Worth Heights, and Mid South target areas. The Community Development Council , the City's advisory board for CDBG program funding, can contribute significantly to initiatives which would be compatible with Enterprise Zone Program objectives . Similarly, the Private Industry Council can be instrumental in stimulating an enterprise zone com- mitment of resources administered by the Working Connection. C. Estimate of costs for this incentive. No additional City funds are required at this time. Achievement of enterprise zone objectives may require a commitment on the part of City Council , Community Develop- ment Council , and the Private Industry Council in order to effectively allocate Community Development Block Grant and Job Training Partnership Act funds toward EZ Program initiatives and objectives. ,ON 40% -6- ATTACHMENT "B" LOCAL INCENTIVES TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE ACT ]ARTICLE 5190.7 Section 10.

ATTACHMENT "C" ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVES PROPOSED BY HISTORIC SOUTHSIDE 1 . Establish a priority ranking factor for the use of public funds in the Enterprise Zone. For example, Capital improve- ments would be expended first in the Enterprise Zone before monies would be spent in a newly developing area when both are required concurrently. Establish a waiver for assess- ments when infrastructure improvements are made in the Enterprise Zone. 2 . City Policy now requires an owner to purchase right of way when streets and alleys are abandoned. Establish a waiver of that expense in the Enterprise Zone. 3 . Establish an abatement for sales tax on equipment purchases in the Enterprise Zone. 4 . Establish programs that provide low interest loans to businesses located within the Enterprise Zone. 000,, 5 . Establish a program for the abatement of both ad valorem and sales tax for businesses located within the Enterprise Zone for projects that create significant jobs or capital investment . 6. Develop programs that assure security in the Enterprise Zone area, such as a unified police department district , intensi- fied police patrols , and the eradication of drug houses and prostitution . 7 . Establish programs to assure capital availability to businesses in the Enterprise Zone, such as a pooled loan program. 8 . Establish a housing finance bond program targeted to enable home ownership and new residential construction within the Enterprise Zone. 9. Offer special zoning incentives within the Enterprise Zone, such as increased commercial density, flexible parking requirements, etc. 10 . Establish programs that will assume labor availability to businesses in the Enterprise Zone. Such programs would include child day care , transportation and job training. 11 . Establish a requirement for rental registration in the A44 Enterprise Zone. Such a requirement would provide the mechanism necessary for identifying ownership and enforcing code requirements . 12 . Develop and install signage that identifies Historic Southside Enterprise Zone boundaries. 13. Establish a separate manager for the Historic Southside Enterprise Zone. 14 . Promote the Enterprise Zone in all City and Chamber Economic Development materials and presentations. -2- ATTACHMENT "D" MAPS 1 . North Enterprise Zone (2) a . Within Loop 820 b. Outside Loop 820 2 .
