NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS THAT: SECTION 1. The following sections of the City Code of the City of Fort Worth are hereby amended in accordance with the attached E�iibit "A" to reflect changes in certain fees and associated language: Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-841.1, "Residential Collection Fees"; Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-841.2, "Commercial Garbage Collection Fees"; Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-843, "Environmental Protection Fee"• � Chapter 12.5, Article VIII, Division 4, Section 12.5-844, "Non City Waste Landfill Environmental Fee"; Chapter 20, Article VII, Division 2, Section 20-271, "Application; Fee; Duration"; SECTION 2. With the exception of Water and Wastewater utility rates charged by the Water Department and Municipal Drainage utility rates charged by the Stormwater Division of the Transportation and Public Works Department, all fees for the Aviation, Development Services, Environmental Services, Financial Management Services, Fire, Park and Recreation, Property Management, Public Events, Transportation and Public Works, and Water Departments beginning and effective October 1, 2025 shall be those previously authorized by City Council Ordinance No.27977-09-2025 Page 2 of 29 action and are ratified and shall continue to be in effect by the adoption of this Ordinance, save and except those fees where a change is being implemented as detailed on Exhibit "B" to this Ordinance, including changes to pre-existing fees and enactment of new fees, and all such fees and changes are hereby approved. SECTION 3. The Aviation, Development Services, Environmental Services, Financial Management Services, Fire, Park and Recreation, Property Management, Public Events, Transportation and Public Works, and Water Departments operate facilities and programs that compete with public and private sector facilities for business and periodically need to make adjustments in response to market demands and for promotional and educational purposes. Approval of this Ordinance authorizes the Directors of the departments identified above (or their designees) to adjust or waive fees in response to market demands, including, but not limited to, seasonal, weather- related, and facility condition-driven factors; customer service resolutions; memberships; advertising opportunities; special marketing promotions; and educational purposes. In addition, to the extent any City-owned facility is managed or operated by a non-profit support group, the Director of the department having responsibility for such facility may exercise the discretion to adjust fees by acting in concert with such non-profit organization. The maximum amount of fees will continue to be capped at those amounts previously approved by the City Council. SECTION 4. Approval of this Ordinance will also officially designate other personnel and departments as acting on behalf of the Financial Management Services (FMS) Department in collecting fees and issuing licenses, as applicable. The City Charter charges the City's Finance Department "with the administration of the financial affairs of the city, including the keeping and supervision of all accounts and the issuance of licenses and the collection of license fees." As the City has grown over the years, responsibilities for issuing licenses and collecting fees became decentralized, with various departments and personnel being assigned as reflected in the City's revenue manual. In connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2016 budget, the City Council approved M&C G-18545 (September 15, 2015), which formally designated the assigned personnel and departments to act on behalf of FMS in collecting fees and issuing licenses, where applicable. Adoption of this Ordinance continues that designation through Fiscal Year 2026. SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances and of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (2015), as amended, except where the provisions of this ordinance are in direct conflict with the provisions of such ordinances and such Code, in which event conflicting provisions of such ordinances and such Code are hereby repealed. SECTION 6. It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this Ordinance are severable, and, if any phrase, clause, Ordinance No. 27977-09-2025 Page 3 of 29 sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this ordinance, since the same would have been enacted by the City Council without the incorporation in this ordinance of any such unconstitutional phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section. SECTION 7. All rights and remedies of the City of Fort Worth, Texas, are expressly saved as to any and all violations of any previously existing ordinances which have accrued at the time of the effective date of this Ordinance, and, as to such accrued violations and all pending litigation, both civil and criminal, whether pending in court or not, under such ordinances, same shall not be affected by this ordinance but may be prosecuted until final disposition by the courts. SECTION 8. This Ordinance shall take effect on October 1, 2025 and after publication as required by law, if necessary. ATTEST: �.d-db.A�� B �� I� ..��:;� p o�aFOR T�� Y� a,� � 00 � Jannette S.
