Budget Narrative
Public Improvement District No. 14- Trinity Bluff
City Administrative Fee
As outlined in the City of Fort Worth PID Policy, City will charge a fee to each O-PID for the annual costs associated
with administering the O-PID. This fee will be calculated annually for each O-PID to be the greater of: a. 2% of the
projected externally generated revenue for that year, to include special assessments and any City contributions; or
b. $2,000.00
Management Fee
This budget category provides for the general management, oversight, and administrative functions necessary to
operate the PID efficiently and effectively. Strong administrative support ensures accountability, strategic
coordination, and successful delivery of all district programs and services.
Administrative expenses may include staffing costs for PID management and support personnel, office operations,
legal and accounting services, insurance, reporting, and compliance with city and state regulatory requirements.
This category also covers communications with stakeholders, board support, and coordination with city
departments, consultants, and contractors. The administration team is responsible for budgeting, contract
management, program monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and maintaining transparency through regular
reporting and performance tracking. Administrative oversight ensures that all PID activities align with the goals
outlined in the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) and respond to the evolving needs of the district. This line item supports
the SAP goals of organizational effectiveness, financial stewardship, and strategic governance.
Ambassador Program
This budget category funds the PID's Ambassador Program, which provides on -the -ground support for public
safety, hospitality, and quality -of -life services throughout the district. Ambassadors serve as visible, approachable
representatives of the PID, enhancing the experience of residents, workers, and visitors alike.
Core responsibilities of ambassadors include providing directions and visitor assistance, reporting maintenance or
safety concerns, conducting regular patrols, and supporting cleanliness efforts. Ambassadors also serve as an
extra set of eyes and ears on the street, working in coordination with local law enforcement and city services to
promote a safe and orderly environment. During special events or peak activity periods, ambassadors may assist
with crowd guidance, event support, or increased visibility in high -traffic areas. They also play a key role in
outreach to vulnerable populations and connecting individuals to available services when appropriate. The
program operates year-round with staffing levels adjusted based on seasonal needs, foot traffic, and district
priorities. PID management regularly monitors performance metrics and community feedback to ensure high -
quality service delivery. This line item supports the SAP goals of public safety, visitor experience, stakeholder
engagement, and overall district vitality.
Beautification
City of Fort Worth
Budget Narrative
This budget category provides for the ongoing maintenance, care, and enhancement of landscaped areas
throughout the District. A clean, attractive, and well -maintained streetscape is essential to the district's visual
appeal, public safety, and overall economic vitality. Landscaping and beautification services include routine
mowing, trimming of shrubs and trees, weed control, seasonal plantings, and replacement of damaged or aging
vegetation. Crews also perform regular litter and debris removal in landscaped areas to maintain a polished and
welcoming environment. PID staff conducts regular inspections to ensure contractor performance and identify
areas in need of attention. In addition to routine maintenance, landscaping teams may respond to storm -related
damage (ice, wind, rain, etc.) or support special beautification efforts tied to events and seasonal displays. This
line item supports the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) goals of beautification, environmental stewardship, and
enhanced public spaces, contributing to a strong sense of place and improved quality of life within the district.
Maintenance/Operations
This budget category supports the core maintenance and operational services that keep the PID clean, functional,
and welcoming. A well -maintained public space is critical to the district's image, safety, and day-to-day usability
for businesses, residents, and visitors. Services covered under this category include sidewalk and curb cleaning,
trash and debris removal, graffiti abatement, power washing, and maintenance of public furnishings and fixtures.
PID staff oversee contractor performance, conduct routine inspections, and respond to maintenance issues as
they arise. The budget also allows flexibility to address weather -related damage, emergency repairs, or service
enhancements during special events. This line item supports the SAP goals of infrastructure upkeep, public safety,
and overall district cleanliness, reinforcing the PID's commitment to providing a high -quality environment for all
stakeholders.
Marketing
This budget category supports the promotion, positioning, and data -driven planning of the PID through targeted
marketing, branding, communications, and research initiatives. Strategic marketing is essential to elevating the
district's profile, attracting investment, supporting local businesses, and fostering community engagement.
Marketing and research activities are typically ongoing year-round, with increased activity aligned to seasonal
events, strategic campaigns, or key planning milestones. PID staff and consultants manage this work in
collaboration with district stakeholders and creative vendors as needed. This line item supports the SAP goals of
district identity, economic development, and strategic planning.
Tree Lights/Utilities
City of Fort Worth
Budget Narrative
This budget category supports the installation, maintenance, and seasonal enhancement of tree lighting
throughout the PID. Decorative lighting plays a vital role in creating a welcoming, vibrant, and safe atmosphere
within the district, particularly in key pedestrian zones, commercial corridors, and gathering spaces. Tree lighting
enhances the district's visual appeal during evening hours, contributes to a sense of place, and supports the
nighttime economy by encouraging foot traffic after dark. Services include installation of LED string lights,
electrical system checks, repair or replacement of damaged lighting, and coordination with utility providers or
contractors. PID staff also oversees scheduling for seasonal lighting transitions and ensures that lighting design
aligns with the district's branding and aesthetic goals. This investment not only improves visibility and safety but
also strengthens the district's attractiveness for visitors, businesses, and residents. This line item supports the
SAP goals of beautification, placemaking, public safety, and nighttime economy enhancement.
Audit & Compliance
This line item includes costs associated with the annual review, such as the audit, ordinance filings, issuance of
required notices, postage, and newspaper publication requirements
