The City of Fort Worth's Department of Economic Development administers the City's Public Improvement Districts (PiDs). The City's PID Policy
outlines the need to proactively work with the City's PID management companies to oversee the services being provided within each of the PIDs.
PID 1 — Downtown (Downtown PID) is managed by Downtown Fort Worth Inc., (DFWi).
On September 17, 2024, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 27156-09-2024, approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Budget, Five -Year
Service Plan, Assessment Plan, and Tax Year 2024 Assessment Roll for the Downtown PID. After conducting a mid -year review of the
Downtown PID's budget, City staff and DFWI has identified the need to increase Downtown PID's (City of Fort Worth) allocations by $21,187.00 to
account for 1) $20,887.00 of additional payment in -lieu of services and 2) $300.00 of additional City payment in -lieu of assessments. Expenditure
adjustments are primarily attributable to increases in tree lights, fees for the ambassador lease for a storage unit to hold their equipment,
marketing & research, and changes within the maintenance and operations umbrella, which include an increase in beautification and a decrease
in street sweeping services. The decrease in street sweeping services is due to the Ambassadors now providing daily sidewalk cleaning.
Two line items listed on the Five -Year Service Plan require a transfer of City funds: (1) the City Payment In -Lieu of Services and (2) the City of Fort
Worth (COFW) Assessment. The City's Payment [n-Lieu of Services is a supplement to the PID budget and intended to provide for the standard
level of improvements and services as comparable to what would be provided by the City for the taxpayers generally. The City of Fort Worth
payment in -lieu of Assessment is an allocation to the PID budget for assessments the City would pay on City -owned) properties in the
Downtown PID, if the City was not a tax-exempt entity.
