accordance with City Code Section 35-92.The City's collection of the water main capacity charge will reimburse the Fort Worth Water Department.

The boundary area, as shown in Exhibit A, is determined for the purpose of assessment review. The boundary is used as a guideline, not as a
definitive boundary for service area. If a plat meets the definition of "other development" stated in Section 35-88 of the City Code, then the
properties in the plat which utilize the 42-inch Westside III water transmission main will be assessed the water main capacity charge even though
the plat may be located adjacent to, within, and/or outside the boundary area. The adoption of this charge is in accordance with Chapter 35, Water
and Sewers, Article III, Division 4, Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in Council District 3 and ETJ.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and establishment of the charge, funds will be deposited into
the Water & Sewer Fund. The Water Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due
to the City.
