RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council

2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations and estimated
receipts in the Culture and Tourism Fund by $310,000 from available funds
DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County entered into a Letter of Understanding on May 4, 1988 that,
in part, allocated $250,000 per year of the Occupancy-Use Tax to offset rental charges for conventions
at the Convention Center At the time the City of Fort Worth purchased the Convention Center, a
balance of $380,000 buy-down funds had not been encumbered or committed to subsidize convention
rental Historically, unused funds were used for marketing opportunities for the Convention Center A
portion of the $380,000 has been allocated for the production of a new video to market the expanded
Convention Center facilities.
It is proposed that the remaining $310,000 be appropriated for the renovation of the auditorium at the
Will Rogers Memorial Center The auditorium will experience increased usage due to the scheduled
demolition of the JFK Theatre at the Convention Center The renovation project in the auditorium will
include new plaster and paint of the interior, expanded and renovated dressing rooms, new carpeting
throughout and improved lighting and sound systems
The Executive Committee of the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau has approved this
proposal
