LOG NAME: 03PID01 MIDYEAR FY26
SUBJECT
(CD 9) Adopt Ordinance Amending Public Improvement District 1 - Downtown Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Adopted Budget and Five -Year Service
Plan; Authorize the Execution of an Amendment to the Associated Management and Improvement Services Agreement with Downtown Fort Worth
Inc. to Align with these Changes; and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance amending Public Improvement District 1 — Downtown Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget and Five -Year Service
Plan to reflect amendments associated with a mid -year review; and direct the City Secretary to record the same in the real property records
of Tarrant County, Texas no later than the seventh (7th) day after adoption by the City Council,
2. Authorize the execution of an amendment to the associated Management and Improvement Services Agreement with Downtown Fort Worth
Inc. (City Secretary Contract No. 64233) to align with these changes; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Public Improvement District 1 -
Downtown Fund in the amount of $48,200.00, from available, unreserved fund balance, for the purpose of funding mid -year budget
adjustments.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth's (COFW) FWLab Department 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 16, 2025, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 27982-09-2025, approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Budget, Five -Year
Service Plan, Assessment Plan, and Tax Year 2025 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 amend the FY2025-2026 budget to increase appropriations by
$48,200.00. This adjustment reflects the use of available fund balance to support program enhancements. The contribution to fund balance,
originally projected at $1,800.00, will be reduced to zero. The expenditure adjustments are primarily attributable to preparations for increased
activity from World Cup visitors.
In addition to PID Assessments, the Downtown PID also receives funding from the following sources: (1) the City Payment In -Lieu of Services and
(2) the City of Fort Worth (COFW) Assessment. The City's Payment In -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. Neither of these revenue sources is changing in the current update to the Five -Year Service
Plan.
