NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS: I. Recitals. The findings set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are found to be true and correct. 2. Findings. The City Council, after duly considering the evidence and testimony presented at the Public Hearings and based on all information known by the City Council, hereby makes the following findings: 2.1 Petition and Boundaries. (a) The current boundaries of the Tourism PID consist of noncontiguous areas authorized under Section 372.0035 of the Act consisting solely of hotel properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City of Fort Worth. The lists of the original and additional hotels that are included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID are included in the Establishing Resolution and Expansion Resolutions, respectively. (b) As set forth in the Recitals above, the Act allows the City Council to include additional properties in the Tourism PID if the required elements are satisfied. As evidenced below, the hotel property set forth in Exhibit "A", which is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes ("Additional Hotel Property"), meets the necessary elements for inclusion into the Tourism PID. (i) The Additional Hotel Property to be included in the Tourism PID as part of this Resolution is a hotel property. (ii) A sufficient number of record owners of the real property currently included and proposed to be included in the Tourism PID have consented to be included in the Tourism PID by signing the original petition to establish the Tourism PID or by signing a petition or written consent to include property in the Tourism PID. Specifically, the number of consenting record owners exceeds the thresholds required by the Act, which is evidenced by the following: (1) 81.79% of appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment, (2) 67.80% of record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment, and (3) 70.39% for the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment. 2.2 Advisability and Feasibility of the Improvements and Services Proposed for the Tourism PID. It is advisable to expand the Tourism PID to include the Additional Hotel Property to provide the proposed improvements and services described in the Petition and this Resolution. The improvements and services will promote the interests of the City and confer a special benefit on the assessed properties within the Tourism PID. The Fort Worth Convention and Visitor's Bureau staff performed an analysis of the Tourism PID, its service plan and strategies, and concluded that it provides a very effective means for significantly enhancing the ability of Fort Worth to promote its hotel, convention, and tourism activity, which has been borne out since the Tourism PID's establishment. Based on this analysis and the successful history of the Tourism PID, the City finds the proposed tourism public improvement district to be both advisable and feasible. 2.3 Nature of the Improvements and Services. The general nature of the proposed improvements and services to be provided within the expanded boundaries of Tourism PID include, without Iimitation, marketing, business recruitment, and promotional activities authorized by the Act for improvements and promotion of the Tourism PID, including, but not Iimited to, the provision of incentives by the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to organizations to encourage them to bring large and city-wide events (including, without limitation, meetings, sporting, recreation, and cultural events) to Fort Worth and to fund additional marketing by the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau to increase hotel stays within the City. 2.4 Estimated Cost of the Improvements and Services. Over the three (3) year period beginning on October 1, 2024, and ending on the expiration of the Tourism PID as provided in Section 3 of the Establishing Resolution, the estimated total cost of the improvements and services to be provided by the Tourism PID will be $24,190,000.00, which includes a revised estimated cost of $7,750,000.00 for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. For the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the revised estimated costs of the below -referenced improvements and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements and services are: Incentives and Sales Efforts $3,962,925 Marketing and Research romotion/Advertisin $2,693,250 Site Visits & Familiarization Tours $ 153,900 Cultural Enhancements through Marketing and Promotion of the Arts $577,125 Operations and Administration $307,800 City Administrative Fee $55,000 Total $7,750,000 On September 17, 2024, the City Council adopted the fiscal 2024-2025 budget and three-year service plan, the same being Ordinance No. 27176-09-2024. The inclusion of the Additional Hotel Property will not affect the adopted budget. Such costs will be paid from assessments levied in accordance with the Act. The full three-year service plan is attached to the resolution approving the amended budget and three-year service plan that is being considered at the same time as this resolution. 2.5. Method of Assessment. The costs of the improvements and services will be funded from assessments levied on and collected from properties located in the Tourism PID that contain hotels of one hundred (100) or more guest rooms and that are subject to payment of City hotel occupancy taxes pursuant to Chapter 32, Article II of the City Code, as amended. The City will levy a special assessment against the new hotel property located within the expanded boundaries of the Tourism PID ("Hotel' Parcel") in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the consideration received for occupancy of any sleeping rooms furnished by the new hotel on the Hotel Parcel (subject to any lawful exemption of the hotel occupancy tax under applicable state law and City ordinances), with such assessments to be collected in the same manner and in accordance with the same procedures as those established for collection of the City's hotel occupancy tax, as set forth in Chapter 32, Article II of the City Code, as amended. The collection of assessments will begin on the earliest date allowed by the Act and continue to be collected at the same time hotel occupancy taxes are collected. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed method of assessment is reasonable and necessary. 2.6 Apportionment of Costs Between the Tourism PID and the City, as a Whole. The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID, inclusive of the Additional Hotel Property, and the City, as a whole, is as follows: (a) The entire cost of each improvement and service will be paid from assessments levied in accordance with the Act. (b) No City funds will be used to pay any portion of the cost of any improvement or service, unless such funding is approved from the City Council or other appropriate municipal authority on a case -by -case basis. 3. Inclusion of Additional Hotel Property within the Tourism PID; Term. Based on the findings set forth above, the City Council authorizes the expansion of the boundaries of the Tourism PID to include the Additional Hotel Property. The inclusion of the Additional Hotel Property within the Tourism PID takes effect on the date on which this Resolution is adopted by the City Council and will expire concurrently with the expiration date set"forth in Section 3 of the Establishing Resolution. The expansion of the Tourism PID is subject to all conditions, limitations, and reservations set forth in the findings in Sections 1 and 2. All other provisions of this Resolution will be effective from and after adoption of this Resolution. 4. Advisory Body. The City Council hereby declines to appoint an advisory body for the expanded Tourism PID boundaries pursuant to Section 372.008 of the Act. The City Council hereby reserves the right to assign responsibility for preparation of the ongoing service plan for the PID to another entity in the absence of such an advisory body, as authorized by Section 372.013(a) of the Act.

Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18 - Tourism Fund in the amount of $350,000.00, from available, unreserved fund balance, for the purpose of funding mid -year budget adjustments. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to conduct a public hearing concerning the expansion of the Tourism Public Improvement District (PID) to include one additional hotel property, the updated and revised Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget and three-year service plan, and the 2024-2025 assessment for the additional hotel, along with certain actions related thereto. On August 29, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4837-08-2017, establishing the Tourism PID (Establishing Resolution). The City Council subsequently adopted Resolution Nos. 5264-08 2020 (August 18, 2020), 5382-04-2021 (April 13, 2021), Resolution No. 5467-M 2021 (September 14, 2021), Resolution No. 5561-04-2022 (April 12, 2022), 5958-05-2024 (May 14,2024), and 5998-08-2024 (August 27, 2024) expanding the boundaries of the Tourism PID to include additional hotel properties (Expansion Resolutions). Expansion of the Tourism PID Boundaries and Petition: The current boundaries of the Tourism PID consist of noncontiguous areas authorized under Section 372.0035 of the Texas Local Government Code (Code) consisting solely of hotel properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City of Fort Worth. A list of the hotels that are included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID is included in the Original and Expansion Resolutions and attached hereto. Senate Bill (SB) 804, 87th Texas Legislature (2021), which went into effect on June 14, 2021, revised Section 372.0121 of the Code to clarify the ability of cities to add new hotels into an existing Tourism PID. One of the new provisions affects the way in which the City calculates (or recalculates) the percentage threshold for adding new hotels into the Tourism PID. SB 804 requires the City to update and recalculate each of the percentage thresholds set forth below every time a new hotel property is added to the Tourism PID. Conversely, the prior version of Section 372.0121 only required the City to calculate the impact that the new hotel property had on the pre-existing thresholds. For example, under SB 804, the City has to update and recalculate the appraised value of each and every existing property in the Tourism PID each time that a new hotel is added; whereas, under the prior legislation, the City simply carried forward the values of the existing hotel properties from the year the hotel properties entered into the Tourism PID. Section 372.0121, as revised, allows the City Council to include additional properties in the Tourism PID if (i) the property is a hotel and (ii) a sufficient. number of the record owners of the real property currently included and proposed to be included in the Tourism PID have consented to be included in the Tourism PID by signing the original petition to establish the district or by signing a petition or written consent to include property in the Tourism PID. The number of consenting record owners is sufficient if (1) the record owners own more than 60% of appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment in the Tourism PID; and either (i) constitute more than 60% of all record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment in the Tourism PID, or (ii) own, in aggregate, more than 60% of the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment in the Tourism PID. If the addition of the new properties results in these numbers dropping at or below the 60% threshold, then the properties may not be added. Inclusion of the Le Meridien Hotel, located at 811 Commerce Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, meets both of the above -stated elements, therefore the hotel may be considered by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID. First, the Le Meridien is a hotel property. With regard to the second element, the City Council found that the previous two petitions (original and expanded) complied with Section 372.005 (b-1) of the Code because they had met the necessary percentages. The property owners, or their duly authorized representatives, for the new hotel property, have signed a petition requesting inclusion within the Tourism PID. This results in an increase to 81.79% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment, 70.39% for the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment, and 67.80% of record owners liable for assessment. Because the percentages are still above the 60.00% threshold, the properties meet the second element. Nature of the Improvements: The goals of the Tourism PID focus on increasing the economic impact and enhancing competitiveness in conventions, meetings, leisure and sports tourism, and increasing tourism -related economic activity at all times, including during economic downturns and as inventory grows. The Tourism PID projects include incentives and sales efforts, convention and sports marketing and promotion, site visits and familiarization tours, community arts grants, convention services, event funding applications, operations, research, and administration, all of which benefit the hotels within the Tourism PID. Method of Assessment and Apportionment of Costs: The assessment rate will be an amount equal to 2.00% of the consideration received from the occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a hotel located within the Tourism PID, with such assessment to be collected in the same manner and in accordance with the same procedures as those established for the collection of the City's Hotel Occupancy Tax, as set forth in Chapter 32, Article 11 of the City Code, as amended. The entire costs of each improvement and service will be paid from the above -stated assessments and no City funds will be used to pay any portion of such costs unless such funding is approved by the City Council on a case -by -case basis. Estimated Costs of the Improvements and Services: The total estimated costs for the proposed services and improvements for the life of the Tourism PID (approximately three years) will be $24,190,000.00, which includes, an estimated cost of $350,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Mid -Year Budget Adjustment. The updated and revised budget and three-year service plan is set forth in more detail below and attached. The final version will be subject to approval by the City Council. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements and services to be provided in subsequent years will be subject to future annual budget and service and assessment plans adopted by the City Council in accordance with the Code. The actual costs of improvements and services will be determined in accordance with the approved budget and service plan to be adopted by City Council and will be paid from Tourism PID assessments. Advisability: Staff recommends that the City Council find that these improvements and services are advisable because they will promote the interests of the City and confer a special benefit on the assessed properties within the expanded boundary of the Tourism PID. Staff recommendation: The Petition has been examined, verified, and found by City staff to meet the requirements of the Code. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council find that the Petition to include the above -stated three hotel properties meets the requirements of the Code. Tourism PID Mid -Year Adjustments The Tourism PID is funded through a 2% assessment on the consideration received from occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a hotel in the Tourism PID. Due to the most recent forecast analysis, Tourism PID assessment revenue is now projected to be 4.73% or $350,000.00 more than originally budgeted. The budgeted expenses show an increase in each category line item for the current fiscal year service plan (see table below).

The revised Budget and three- year service plan will take effect upon approval by City Council. The proposed changes to the Tourism PID's FY 2024-2025 budget complies with the City's reserve requirements. Funding is available for appropriation in the fund balance of the FWPID #18 - Tourism Fund. The beginning balance is $7,902,711.97, After this M&C, the available balance will be $73552,711.97. The Tourism PID properties are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the FWPID 418 -Tourism Fund. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Economic. Development Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
