representing more than 50% of the appraised value of real property liable for assessment under the <br />proposal described herein, and (ii) the record owners of taxable real property that constitutes more <br />than 50% of the area of all taxable real property that is liable for assessment under such proposal. <br />Section 2. General Nature of the Proposed Construction and Maintenance of the Public <br />Improvements. Notwithstanding anything in the Original Creation Resolution or the Settlement <br />Agreement to the contrary, the general nature of the proposed public improvements are: (i) parks <br />and open space, together with any ancillary structures, features or amenities such as trails, <br />pavilions, community facilities, irrigation, walkways, lighting, benches, trash receptacles and any <br />similar items located therein; (ii) landscaping; (iii) acquisition, construction, and improvement of <br />water, wastewater and drainage facilities; (iv) acquisition, construction and improvement of <br />streets, roadways, rights -of -way and related facilities; (v) entry monumentation and features; (vi) <br />signage; (vii) projects similar to those listed in subsections (i) — (vi) above; and (viii) payment of <br />costs associated with constructing and financing the public improvements listed in subparagraphs <br />(i) — (vii) above, including costs of establishing, administering and operating the District. <br />Section 3. Estimated Cost of the Public Improvements to be funded by the PID: <br />$60,000,000 (including issuance and other financing costs). <br />Section 4. Boundaries. The proposed boundaries of the District are described on <br />Exhibit A attached hereto. <br />Section 5. Method of Assessment. An assessment methodology will be prepared that <br />will address: (i) how the costs of the public improvements financed with the assessments are <br />assessed against the property in the District, (ii) the assessments to be collected each year, and (iii) <br />reduction of the assessments for costs savings (pursuant to the annual review of the service plan <br />for the District). Additionally, a report will be prepared showing the special benefits accruing to <br />property in the District and how the costs of the public improvements are assessed to property on <br />the basis of the special benefits. The result will be that equal shares of the costs will be imposed <br />on property similarly benefited. <br />The assessment methodology will result in each parcel paying its fair share of the costs of <br />the public improvements provided with the assessments based on the special benefits received by <br />the property from the public improvements and property equally situated paying equal shares of <br />the costs of the public improvements. <br />Section 6. Apportionment of Cost between the City and the District. Approval and <br />creation of the PID will not obligate the City to provide any funds to finance the proposed public <br />improvements. All of the costs of the proposed public improvements will be paid by assessments <br />of the property within the District and from other sources of funds, if any, available to the owner <br />of the Land. <br />Section 7. Management of the District. The City will manage the District, or, to the <br />extent allowed by law, the City may contract with either a non-profit, or a for -profit organization <br />including a Public Facilities Corporation created by the City pursuant to Chapter 303, Texas Local <br />Government Code, to carry out all or a part of the responsibilities of managing the District, <br />including the day-to-day management and administration of the District. <br />
