On June 16, 2009, (M&C G-16601) the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3748-06-2009 establishing the Trinity Bluff Public Improvement District (PID).

State law requires an annual report on the proposed budget and Five-Year Service Plan for the PID, which is attached.  The general nature of the proposed improvements and/or services to be provided in the Trinity Bluff Public Improvement District shall include:

• A Maintenance Program consisting of supplemental sidewalk sweeping, sidewalk cleaning and supplemental trash receptacle pick up;  
  
  
• A Marketing, Communications and Advertising Program consisting of banner installations in support of other Fort Worth organizations and non-profits;  
  
  
• Capital improvements consisting of the implementation of 10 dual use trash cans, designed to accommodate both recyclables and landfill trash, similar to those located in the Downtown PID; and
  
  
• A Management Program to provide for the administration, operation and management of the PID.

On February 3, 2009, (M&C G-16451) the City Council adopted guidelines for setting an administration fee structure for all PIDs.  The City shall assess an annual administration fee equal to two percent of a district's annual assessments or in the amount of $2,000.00, whichever is greater.

The proposed 2016 Assessment Rate on property subject to assessment in the Trinity Bluff PID is $0.10 per $100.00 of valuation.  The proposed 2016 Assessment Roll for the Trinity Bluff PID will be filed with the City Secretary and available for public inspection during normal business hours at any time prior to the September 13, 2016 Public Benefit Hearing.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.

The Trinity Bluff PID is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
