staff noted that additional tax-exempt entities within the Panther Island area might also elect
to make voluntary contributions to support the district's early operations.
Both Tarrant County and TCCD have now elected to participate by providing voluntary
contributions. These contributions will supplement TRWD's previously accepted funding and
will support ongoing operations and services consistent with the improvements described in
the petition used to establish PID 23. As with TRWD's contribution, these funds will be utilized
strictly for eligible expenses identified for FY2026 and do not levy assessments.
Approval of this M&C formally authorizes the City to accept and appropriate the voluntary
contributions from Tarrant County and TCCD to support the district's current -year operations
until formal assessments and the FY2027 Service and Assessment Plan are adopted under a
separate M&C and ordinance.
The Panther Island PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
