NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
1. 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) 85.78% of
appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment, (2) 68.33% of record owners of taxable real
property liable for assessment, and (3) 72.71% 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 limitation, marketing, business
recruitment, and promotional activities authorized by the Act for improvements and
promotion of the Tourism PID, including, but not limited 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 two (2) year
period beginning on October 1, 2025, 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
15,750,000.00, which includes a revised estimated cost of $7,750,000.00 for the
2025-2026 fiscal year.
For the 2025-2026 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 $4,540,050
Marketing and Research
Promotion/Advertising) 2,154,600
Site Visits & Familiarization Tours 115,425
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.On May 13,
2025, the City Council adopted a revised fiscal 2024-2025 budget and three-year
service plan, the same being Ordinance No. 27648-05-2025.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 I and 2. All other provisions of this Resolution will be effective from
and after adoption of this Resolution.
4. Advisory Bodv.
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.

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to expand the boundaries of Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18 - Tourism
Tourism PID) through the inclusion of one (1) additional hotel property.
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), 5467-09-2021 (September 14,
2021), 5561-04-2022 (April 12,2022), 5958-05-2024 (May 14,2024), and 6098-05-2025 (May 15, 2025) 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 Nobleman Hotel, located at 503 Bryan Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76104, meets the above -stated elements and, therefore, may be
considered by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID.
First, the Nobleman Hotel is a hotel property.
With regard to the second element, the property owner, or its duly authorized representatives, for the Nobleman Hotel, signed a petition requesting
inclusion within the Tourism PID. This results in an increase to 85.78% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment,
72.71 % of the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment, and 68.33% of record owners liable for assessment. These figures remain
above the statutory threshold of 60.00%, thereby meeting the required conditions for the adjustment of the Tourism PID's composition.
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 application, 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 II 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 two years) will be
15,750,000.00, which includes an estimated cost of $7,750,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget. Assessments will begin on October 1,
2025.
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.
Upon the close of the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council declare the petition to expand the Tourism PID to include the one
additional hotel property to be sufficient and adopt the attached Resolution making findings concerning the following and expanding the Tourism
PID:
The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID and the City, as whole;
The proposed method of assessment;
The expanded boundaries of the Tourism PID;
The estimated costs of the proposed improvements and services;
The general nature of the proposed improvements and services; and
The advisability of expanding the Tourism PID.
Upon adoption of the Resolution, the Nobleman will be included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID, effective on the date that City Council's
authorization to expand the Tourism PID has been published in a newspaper of general circulation and will expire on the date set forth in the
Original Resolution.
The City Council will hold two public hearings to consider the proposed budget, plan of service, and levy of assessments against property within
the Tourism PID, which will be held during the regular City Council meetings on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 at 10:00 A.M., and Tuesday, September
16, 2025 at 6:00 P.M. The City Council is expected to take final action and vote on the proposed budget, plan of service, and levy of assessments
following the close of the hearing on September 16, 2025.
Notice of this public hearing was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram and mailed to the appropriate property owners on August 8, 2025,
which complies with the notice requirements under the Act.
These properties are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

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.

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).

have consented to be included in the Tourism PID by signing the

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 limitation, marketing, business
recruitment, and promotional activities authorized by the Act for improvements
and promotion of the Tourism PID, including, but not limited to, the provision of

to fund additional marketing by the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau
to increase hotel stays within the City.

year period beginning on October 1, 2023 and ending on the expiration of the

improvements and services to be provided by the Tourism PID will be
29,810,000.00, which includes an estimated cost of $7,000,000.00 for the
2023-2024 fiscal year.
For the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the estimated costs of the above -referenced improvements
and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements and services are:
Incentives and Sales Efforts 3,782,675
Marketing and Research
Promotion/Advertising) 2, 570,750
Site Visits & Familiarization Tours 146,900
Cultural Enhancements through
Marketing and Promotion of the Arts 550,875
Operations and Administration 293,800
City Administrative Fee 55,000
Total 7,400,000

service plan, the same being Ordinance No. 26928-05-2024. 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 six -year service plan proposed for the
Tourism PID is attached hereto as "Exhibit B" ("Service Plan") and incorporated herein
for all purposes. The Service Plan, budget, and assessment amount are subject to annual
review and approval by the City Council.
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 11 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.
3.6. 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.

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to expand the boundaries of Fort Worth Public Improvement District 18 - Tourism
Tourism PID) through the inclusion of one (1) additional hotel property.
On August29, 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) and 5958-05 2024 (May
14,2024) 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 (4) 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 cr 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 Avid Hotel - Trinity Uptown (Avid Hotel), located at 320 Samuels Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76102, meets the above -stated elements
and, therefore, may be considered by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID.
First, the Avid Hotel is a hotel property.
With regard to the second element, the property owner, or its duly authorized representatives, for the Avid Hotel, signed a petition requesting
inclusion within the Tourism PID. This results in an increase from 80.54% to 83.25% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment, from 69.63% to 70.32% of the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment and from 66.67% to 67.24% of record owners
liable for assessment. These figures remain above the statutory threshold of 60.00%, thereby meeting the required conditions for the adjustment of
the Tourism PID's composition.
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 application, 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 II 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
23,330,000.00, which includes an estimated cost of $7,400,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget. Assessments will begin on October 1,
2024.
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.
Upon the close of the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council declare the petition to expand the Tourism PID to include the one
additional hotel property to be sufficient and adopt the attached Resolution making findings concerning the following and expanding the Tourism
PID:
The apportionment of costs between the Tourism PID and the City, as whole;
The proposed method of assessment;
The expanded boundaries of the Tourism PID;
The estimated costs of the proposed improvements and services;
The general nature of the proposed improvements and services; and
The advisability of expanding the Tourism PID.
Upon adoption of the Resolution, the Sandman will be included within the boundaries of the Tourism PID, effective on the date that City Council's
authorization to expand the Tourism PID has been published in a newspaper of general circulation and will expire on the date set forth in the
Original Resolution.
The City Council will hold two public hearings to consider the proposed budget, plan of service, and levy of assessments against property within
the Tourism PID, which will be held during the regular City Council meetings on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at 10:00 A.M., and Tuesday, September
17, 2024 at 6:00 P.M. The City Council is expected to take final action and vote on the proposed budget, plan of service, and levy of assessments
following the close of the hearing on September 17, 2024.
Notice of this public hearing was published in the Fat Worth Star -Telegram and mailed to the appropriate property owners on August 9, 2024,
which complies with the notice requirements under the Act.
These 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 1 CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.

2.Findings.
The City Council, after duty 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) 79.93% of
appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment, (2) 64.91% of record owners of taxable real
property liable for assessment, and (3) 67.60% 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 limitation,
marketing, business recruitment, and promotional activities authorized
by the Act for improvements and promotion of the Tourism PID,
including, but not limited 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
six (6) year period beginning on October 1, 2021 and ending on the
expiration of the Tourism PID as provided in Section 3, the estimated
total cost of the improvements and services to be provided by the
Tourism PID will be $27,737,196.00, which includes an estimated cost
of $3,950,000.00 for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
For the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the estimated costs of the above-referenced
improvements and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements
and services are:
Incentives and Sales Efforts 1,850,125
Marketing and Research
Promotion/Advertising) 1,363,250
Site Visits &Familiarization Tours 194,750
Cultural Enhancements through
Marketing and Promotion of the Arts 292,125
Operations and Administration 194,750
City Administrative Fee 55,000
Total 3,950,000
On September,21,2022,the City Council adopted the fiscal 2021-2022 budget and
six-year service plan,the same being Ordinance No.25089-09-2021. 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 six-year service
plan proposed for the Tourism PID is attached hereto as "Exhibit B" ("Service
Plan") and incorporated herein for all purposes. The Service Plan, budget, and
assessment amount are subject to annual review and approval by the City Council.
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.
3.6. 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

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to conduct a second public hearing concerning the expansion of Fort Worth
Public Improvement District 18-Tourism(Tourism PID)to include one additional hotel property and the 2021-2022 assessment for the additional
hotel property,along with certain actions related thereto. The City Council conducted the first public hearing on April 12,2022,finding that the
Petition to Expand the Tourism PID met the requirements set forth in Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code("Code"),approving the
filling of the revised 2021-2022 assessment roll,and setting this public hearing.
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), and 5467-09-2021 (September
14,2021),and April 12,2022(M&C 17ED PID18EXPANDTPID).
EXPANSION OF THE TOURISM PID
Boundaries:
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,copies of which are
attached to this M&C within the Petition.
Senate Bill 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 of the Code 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 PD. 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 aggregates,more than 60%of the are of all taxable real property liable for assessment in the
Tourism PID.If the addition of the new property results in these numbers dropping at or below the 60%threshold,then the property may not be
added.
Inclusion of the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel,located at 6828 North Freeway, Fort Worth,Texas 76137(Four Points)meets the above-stated
elements and,therefore,may be considered by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID.
First,the Four Points is a hotel property.
With regard to the second element,the property owner,or its duly authorized representative,for the new hotel property,has signed a petition
requesting inclusion within the Tourism PID.This results in an increase to 79.93%of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for
assessment,67.60%for the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment,and 64.91%of record owners liable for assessment. Because
the percentages are still above the 60.00\%threshold, inclusion of the Four Points the property 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 application,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 II 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.
Costs of the Improvements and Services:
The total costs for the adopted services and improvements for the life of the Tourism PID(approximately six years)will be$27,737,196.00,which
includes an estimated cost of$3,950,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget. Assessments for this fiscal year began on October 1,2021.
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:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing and expanding the Tourism PID to include the above-state
one additional hotel property,along with the corresponding assessment ordinance.
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 approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.

true and correct.
2.Findinis.
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

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

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.

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:

liable for assessment, (2) 64. 29% of record owners of
taxable real property liable for assessment, and (3) 67.29%
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 limitation,
marketing, business recruitment, and promotional activities authorized
by the Act for improvements and promotion of the Tourism PID,
including, but not limited 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
six (6) year period beginning on October 1, 2021 and ending on the
expiration of the Tourism PID as provided in Section 3 , the estimated
total cost of the improvements and services to be provided by the
Tourism PID will be $27,737,196.00, which includes an estimated cost
of $3,950, 000.00 for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
For the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the estimated costs of the above-referenced
improvements and services, and estimated costs to implement such improvements
and services are:
Incentives and Sales Efforts 1,850,125
Marketing and Research
Promotion/Advertising) 1,363,250
Site Visits &Familiarization Tours 194,750
Cultural Enhancements through
Marketing and Promotion of the Arts 292,125
Operations and Administration 194,750
City Administrative Fee 55,000
Total 3,950,000
Such estimated costs are reasonable and appropriate. The estimated costs of
improvements and services provided in the 2021-2022 fiscal year will be
determined in a subsequent annual budget and service plan for the Tourism PID to
be approved by the City Council on or about September 21, 2021, in accordance
with the Act. Such costs will be paid from assessments levied in accordance with
the Act. The six-year service plan proposed for the Tourism PID is attached
hereto as "Exhibit B" ("Service Plan") and incorporated herein for all purposes.
The Service Plan, budget, and assessment amount are subject to annual review
and approval by the City Council.
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 11 of the City Code, as amended. The collection of
assessments will begin on October 1, 2021 and continue to be made at the same
time hotel occupancy taxes are collected. The City Council hereby finds that the
proposed method of assessment is reasonable and necessary.
3.6. 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

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.
S. Publication.
The City Secretary is hereby directed to publish notice of the City Council's
authorization to establish the PID once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.

considered in the Public Hearings, finds that the assessments described herein on Hotel Parcels should

that are similarly benefitted from the provision of those Services. The apportionment of those costs
will be based on the special benefits accruing to the Qualifying Hotels on account of the Services
provided. As a result,those Qualifying Hotels that sell more guest rooms will pay a greater portion of
the costs of the Services because those properties will have received a greater benefit from the
promotions and marketing comprising the Services. The City Council further finds that this method of
assessment is fair and equitable and results in an apportionment of the costs of the Services that
complies with applicable law.

and (3) 65.7 % of the area of all taxable real property liable

LOG NAME: 25PID18ESTABLISHTOURISMPID
SUBJECT:
Conduct Public Benefit Hearing to Declare the Sufficiency of a Petition Requesting Establishment of Fort
Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) and Adopt a Resolution Authorizing and
Establishing the Tourism PID (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public benefit hearing concerning the sufficiency of a petition requesting establishment of
Fort Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) and the establishment of the Tourism PID;
2. Find that the petition requesting establishment of the Tourism PID meets the requirements necessary
to designate the proposed area as a Public Improvement District pursuant to Chapter 372 of the Texas
Local Government Code;
3. Adopt the attached Resolution: (i) making certain findings concerning the nature and advisability of
special improvements and services to be provided for the benefit of properties in the Tourism PID, the
estimated costs of such improvements and services, the method of assessment, the boundaries of the
Tourism PID and the apportionment of cost between the Tourism PID and the City, as a whole and (ii)
authorizing and establishing the Tourism PID; and
4. Direct the City Secretary to publish notice of the establishment of the Tourism PID as required by
Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code.
DISCUSSION:
Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code (Act) allows certain hotel property owners to petition
the City for the establishment of a public improvement district that confers a special benefit on non-
contiguous properties comprised solely of hotels with 100 rooms or more within the City.
A petition requesting establishment of Fort Worth Public Improvement District No. 18 (Tourism PID) has
been filed with the City Secretary. The petition complies with Section 372.005 of the Act and, as of August
29, 2017, has been signed by record owners of taxable real property liable for assessment under the
proposal who constitute: (a) 73.13% of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment
under the proposal set forth in the petition, as determined by the current roll of the Tarrant Appraisal
District and (b) 62.96%of the area of all taxable real property that is liable for assessment under the
proposal (see Attachment 1). City staff has verified and confirmed all petition signatures.
The goals of the proposed 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
Logname: 25PID 18ESTABLISHTOURISMPID Page 1 of 3
proposed 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
application, operations, research, and administration, all of which benefit the hotels within the Tourism
PID.
The proposed boundaries include noncontiguous areas authorized under the Act consisting only of hotel
properties with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping within the City. The proposed assessment
rate would be two percent of the consideration paid for occupancy of any sleeping room furnished by a
hotel located within the Tourism PID, with such assessment to be collected in the same manner an 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 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.
The total estimated costs for the proposed services and improvements for the life of the Tourism PID
approximately 10 years) will be $57,036,809, which includes an estimated cost of$3,469,985.00 for the
2017-2018 fiscal year, a 40% increase for the 2018-2019 fiscal year and a year-over-year increase of five
percent (5 percent) for the remaining eight-year term. Assessments will begin on January 1, 2018.
The City intends to enter into a management Agreement with a to-be-named non-profit corporation
associated with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau (Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement
District Corporation)to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Tourism PID, which contract will be
addressed in a separate, but related, M&C authorizing the assessment.
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 Tourism PID.
Upon the close of the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council declare the petition to create
the Tourism PID to be sufficient and adopt the attached Resolution making findings concerning the

need to ask for exceptions to the ROI Requirement, it is possible that such a situation may
present itself For example, there may be a meeting that requires more incentives than the ROI
in lodging nights would indicate (e.g.; conventions held by ASAE, MPI, etc.) but offers the city
and its hotel sector access to entities that can bring much other needed conventions and groups to
our area. In such scenarios and other meritorious situations, the FWCVB staff may bring such
items up for consideration to the FWTPIDC Board for their review and consideration. A brief
summary of the anticipated ROI and an explanation of the grounds for considering an exception
will be provided to the FWTPIDC Board. Whether to grant such an exception will be at the
discretion of the FWTPIDC Board. Similarly, the FWTPIDC Board, one of its members, or a
funding hotel within the district may propose such an item for consideration by the FWTPIDC
Board for its review and consideration.
Shifting Between Expenditure Categories: The FWCVB has the.authority to propose to the
FWTPIDC Board a shifting of resources between categories for approved activities and efforts.
Shifts between categories shall not exceed 10%. Similarly, the FWTPIDC Board on its own
motion may propose, approve and require such a shifting of resources.
Conflict of Interest Administration: It is possible that certain hotel members of the
FWTPIDC, -and in certain cases a majority of the board, will have an interest in a city-wide or
36)
regional convention or meeting that may be marketed or provided incentives through the
FWTPID. In such cases, the FWCVB shall work with the involved board member(s) to file the
appropriate conflict of interest forms as outlined in the bylaws for the FWTPIDC and shall
secure the needed votes to authorize the project as outlined in the bylaws for the FWTPIDC.
Reports to the FWTPIDC Board
Reports on Status of Projects/Expenditures: Quarterly and annual reports shall be provided to
the FWTPIDC Board on the progress of the FWCVB staff in implementation of the FWTPID
programs. These reports will indicate the status of progress on the approved plan, financial
statements, bank balances, and a cash flow statement showing the timing of actual FWTPID
revenues and expenses. The quarterly financial statement, balance sheet, and statement of
activities shall be maintained and presented in compliance with General Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) for non-profit corporations. These reports shall be similar to those currently
produced by the FWCVB, incorporating the items contained in the FWTPIDC board approved
plan and budget.
The FWCVB staff will also provide courtesy copies of the quarterly and annual reports to the
PID Administrator for the City of Fort Worth for further distribution.
Financial Statements: The FWTPID cash flow statement will show the timing in which actual
assessments will be collected and when they will be spent. In accordance with standard practices,
the FWCVB may book meetings that will be held a number of years later. In this case,a meeting
may be booked, and an obligation made, in one year;but the incentive expense will not actualize
until the meeting occurs (up to twenty years in the future). With this in mind, revenues will be
shown over the ten-year term of the district, while expenses are shown over a twenty-year period
ten years past the initial ten year term of the PID). As the attached sample indicates, balances
are carried forward, and all FWTPID assessments along with any earned interest will be
proposed for expenditure over the booking period for eligible FWTPID marketing, events, and
programs. In accordance with city and state law, any funds not obligated during the term of the
district must be returned to the city for distribution back to the assessed properties.
Access to FWTPID Materials: Reasonable access to all FWTPID related materials and
information shall also be available to the FWTPIDC Board at all times. Courtesy copies of these
reports will also be emailed to the Fort Worth City Manager for further appropriate distribution.
Requests for access to FWTPID documents by other parties will be handled as required under the
Texas Public Information Act.
Orientation for the Fort Worth FWTPIDC Board: An annual orientation shall be done for
the FWTPIDC Board on the administration of the FWTPID, board roles and responsibilities,and
the responsibilities of the FWCVB under this contract.

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 three additional hotel properties, the updated and revised Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget and two-year
service plan, and the 2025-2026 assessment for the additional hotels, 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. 5467-09-
2021 (September 14, 2021), Resolution No. 5561-04-2022 (April 12, 2022), 5958-05-2024 (May 14,2024), 5998-08-2024 (August 27, 2024),
6098-05-2025 (May 13, 2025), and 6155-08-2025 (August 26, 2025) 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 Cambria Hotel, located at 925 Jerome St, Fort Worth, TX 76104, the Crescent West 7th, located at 3300 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort
Worth, TX 76107, and the Home 2 Suites Hotel, located at 6730 NW Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76135, meets both of the above-stated elements,
therefore the hotels may be considered by the City Council for inclusion into the Tourism PID.
First, the Cambria, the Crescent West 7th, and Home 2 Suites are hotel properties.
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 86.30% of the appraised value of
taxable real property liable for assessment, 72.04% for the area of all taxable real property liable for assessment, and 69.84% 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 II 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 two years) will be
$16,000,000.00, which includes an estimated cost of $8,000,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Mid-Year Adjusted Budget. The updated and
revised budget and two-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 3.23% or $250,000.00 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).

service plan will take effect upon approval by City Council. The proposed changes to the Tourism PID’s FY2025-2026 budget complies with the
City’s reserve requirements.
The Tourism PID properties are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
