ORDINANCE NO. 27977-09-2025 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING IDENTIFIED PROVISIONS OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH (2015), AS AMENDED, TO REFLECT CHANGES IN THE FEES STATED IN THOSE CODE SECTIONS; ADDING NEW FEES AND CHANGING CERTAIN FEES AND RATIFYING AND CONTINUING PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED UNCODIFIED FEES; ALLOWING FOR CHANGES IN CERTAIN FEES DUE TO MARKET CONDITIONS; DESIGNATING OTHER DEPARTMENTS ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT; PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE CUMULATIVE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, certain City functions are provided on a fee-for-service basis, with such fees designed to recover some or all of the costs incurred by the City to provide such services; WHEREAS, adoption and revision of the utility rates for water and wastewater and for municipal drainage (stormwater) are subject to specific processes and are therefore handled by separate action in order to ensure compliance with those utility-rate-setting processes, but certain other non-rate miscellaneous fees are simply set by Council; WHEREAS, in limited instances the fees for other non-utility City services are reflected in codified ordinances that can be found in the Code of the City of Fort Worth (2015), as amended; WHEREAS, for a number of other fee-based services, the City Code simply refers to fees being set by City Council, which action may not take the form of an ordinance; WHEREAS, the operations of the City's Public Events Department involve booking business for conventions and other gatherings at the Fort Worth Convention Center months or sometimes years in advance, necessitating the adoption of fees for such facilities beyond just the immediately coming year; WHEREAS, with the City having assumed responsibility for providing emergency medical services (EMS) within Fort Worth and certain other neighboring cities, there is a need to enact certain EMS-related fees, which are generally being set to mirror the amounts mostrecently charged by the prior EMS provider (Medstar); WHEREAS, EMS fees within the schedule noted with an asterisk (*) reflect rates for ambulance transport and related services, as categorized under Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes, and is compliant with applicable federal billing and reimbursement guidelines, including Medicare and Medicaid requirements, with fees subject to periodic review to ensure compliance with regional standards and federal reimbursement Ordinance No. 27977-09-2025 Page I of29
guidelines and with billing and collections managed in accordance with standardized policies through a third-party billing contractor, which policies are available upon request; WHEREAS, the Fire Department will provide standby fire and EMS services for events upon request. and it is recommended to clarify and update the fees for such services in an effort to recover the costs of providing them; WHEREAS, in an effort to improve transparency and facilitate locating the various uncodified fees, staff recommends adopting a single ordinance as part of the annual budget to reflect changes to codified fees other than utility rates for water and stormwater and changes to non-codified fees and to ratify all previously established fees that will continue to be charged for the coming fiscal year; and WHEREAS, in connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the City Council deems it appropriate to adopt this instrument to amend certain non-utility fee schedules in the City Code, to update the non-codified fee schedule as reflected herein, and to ratify all previously enacted uncodified fees. 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 Exhibit "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 of29
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 "ff' 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, weatherrelated, 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 of29
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. SECTIONS. This Ordinance shall take effect on October 1, 2025 and after publication as required by law, if necessary. ATTEST: By: Jannette S.

per household; this rate may be increased or decreased to meet program costs in future fiscal years.
It is anticipated that approximately $800,000.00 will be collected annually under these agreements.
During Fiscal Year 2017, over 50 entities signed participation Agreements with the City of Fort Worth.
