NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THAT I. The benefit hearing is hereby closed. II. The City Council finds from the evidence (i) that the assessments should be made and levied against the respective parcels of property abutting the streets, avenues, and public places and against the owners of such property; (ii) that the assessments and charges are correct; (iii) that the assessment and charges are substantially in proportion to the benefits conferred to the respective parcels of abutting property by the improvements in the unit in which the assessments are levied, (iv) that considering the benefits received and the burdens imposed, the assessments establish substantial justice, equality, and uniformity between the owners of the respective parcels of abutting property; (v) that each parcel of abutting property assessed is specially benefitted in the enhanced 2 value of the improvements in a sum of money m excess of the sum for which the assessment is levied and the charge made; (vi) that the apportionment of the cost of the improvements is m accord with city ordinances, and (vii) that the proceedings of the city for the improvements are valid. III. There shall be, and is hereby, levied and assessed against the parcels of abutting property described in Exhibit "A" attached and dated November 1996, and against the owners thereof, whether named or incorrectly named, the sums of money itemized opposite the description of the respective parcels of abutting property IV Where more than one person, firm or corporation owns an interest in any property described m Exhibit "A", each person, firm, or corporation shall be personally liable only for his or rts assessment m the proportion that his or rts interest bears to the total ownership interest of the property An interest in jointly owned property may be released from the assessment lien upon payment of the proportionate amount owed. V The amounts described m Exhibit "A" and assessed against the parcels of abutting property and the owners thereof, together with interest at eight percent a year, reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection, are hereby declared (i) to be and are made a lien upon the parcels of abutting property against which they are assessed, (ii) to be and are made a personal liability and charge against the owners of the parcels of abutting property, whether such owners are correctly named, (iii) to be and constitute the first enforceable lien against the parcel of abutting property on which the assessments are levied, superior to all other hens and claims, except state, county, and school district taxes and city ad valorem taxes. The assessments shall be payable on or before 30 days after the acceptance by the Crty of Fort Worth of the project; provided, however, an abutting property owner may elect to pay the assessment in five equal, consecutive annual installments. The first installment shall be paid no later than thirty days after the acceptance by the City of Fort Worth of the project. Each subsequent installment shall be paid annually on each anniversary date of the acceptance of the project. In the alternative, an abutting property owner. may elect to pay the assessment in 49 equal, consecutive monthly installments, the first installment to be paid no later than thirty days after the acceptance by the Crty of Fort Worth of the project. Any owner electing to pay the assessment m installments, must execute a promissory note and mechanic's and materialman's lien contract evidencing the owner's intent to pay the assessment in accord with the terms of one of the installment alternatives If the owner elects to pay the assessment m installments under either alternative, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of acceptance of the project at the rate of eight percent per year Should 3 any installment not be paid on rts due date, the Crty of Fort Worth shall have the option to accelerate the entire unpaid balance of the assessment and declare it immediately payable Any terms governing any default in the payment of any installment shall be set forth in the mechanic's and Materialmen's hen contract and shall be uniform among all abutting property owners executing an installment contract.

The city shall exercise all powers to aid in the enforcement and collection of the assessments. VII. The total amount assessed against the respective parcels of abutting property and the owners thereof is in accord with the proceeding of the city relating to the improvements and assessments thereof and is less than the proportion of the cost allowed and permitted by the law VIII. Although charges have been fixed, levied, and assessed as stated, the City Council hereby reserves the right to reduce the assessments by allowing appropriate credits to certain property owners. Even though the Crty Council reserves the right to issue credits, rt shall not be required to issue credits, and v~nll not do so if the credits are inequitable or discriminatory The principal amount of each assessment certificate issued by the city shall be determined by deducting any credit from the amount of the assessment. IX.

The certificate shall provide that if rt is not paid promptly upon maturity, rt shall be collectable, with reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection. In addition, the certificate shall provide that the amount evidenced m rt shall be paid to the Assessor and Collector of Taxes of the City of Fort Worth, who shall issue a receipt as evidence of payment. The Assessor and Collector of Taxes shall deposit the sums he receives with the City Treasurer to be kept and held m a separate fund. After any payment on a certificate is made to the city, the Assessor and Collector of Taxes, upon presentation of the certificate, shall endorse the certificate to show the payment. If a certificate is assigned, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the City Treasurer the amount paid by presentation of the certificate endorsed and credited, and the endorsement and credit shall be the Treasurer's Warrant for malting the payment. The payments by the City Treasurer shall be receipted for the holder of the certificate m writing and by surrender when the principal, together with accrued interest and all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees, have been paid. The certificate shall further recite that the proceedings for malting the improvement were held in compliance with the law, and that all prerequisites for fixing the assessment lien against the property described in certificate and against personal liability of the owners have been completed. The recitals shall be prima facie evidence of all matters recited m the certificates, and no further proof shall be required in any court. The certificates may have coupons attached to evidence any installment or may have coupons for (i) each of the first four installments, leaving the main certificate to serve as the fifth installment coupon, (ii) or each of the first 48 installments, leaving the main certificate to serve as the 49th installment coupon.

All assessments levied are a personal habihty and charge against the owners of the property described m Exhibit "A", even though the owners may not be named or may be incorrectly named. Failure to make improvements m front of an abutting property that is exempt from assessment will not mvahdate the lien or habilrty for assessments made against other abutting property XII. The assessments levied are for the improvements in the particular umt upon which the respective parcels of property abut, and the assessments for the improvements m any unit are not affected by the assessments or improvements in any other umt. In making assessments and in holding the benefit hearing, the amounts assessed for unprovements m any one unit have not -been connected with the improvements or assessments for improvements in any other unit. XIII. The assessments are levied under the provisions of Chapter 313 of the Texas Transportation Code, which stature has been adopted as an amendment to and made a part of the Charter of the Crty of Fort Worth. XIV The City Secretary is directed to file this Ordinance m the appropriate Records of the City XV The ordinance shall take effect and be in full force after the date of its passage, and ~t is so ordained. 6 PASSED AND APPROVED this day of 19~/.
