would be apportioned between the City and the Fort Worth Independent School District.
On September 1, 1992, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 11163, anew Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company franchise ordinance. This ordinance repealed and replaced
Ordinance No. 1933. To satisfy the payment due the City under Ordinance 1933 for the
period from January 1, 1992 through August 31, 1992, the Telephone Company paid the
City $2,298,296.09.
To satisfy the City's obligation to share the 1992 franchise fee payment with the Fort
Worth Independent School District, the City should pay the District $574,514.03.
