The Captured Assessed Valuation does not include personal property. ^ The TIRZ has no taxing powers; however, participating overlapping political subdivisions' tax revenues generated on the Captured Assessed Valuation are diverted to the Tax Increment Fund. ^ Tax increment revenues can only be used for the benefit of the property within the TIRZ, including paying for capital improvements and paying debt service on bonds issued for improvements. ^ A TIRZ has a defined period of existence which may be related to the term of debt. Once the TIRZ is abolished, the tax revenues are no longer diverted to the Tax Increment Fund. ^ The City creates the TIRZ and is the issuer of debt and is therefore responsible for the payment of the Debt. Other participating political subdivisions allow their tax revenues to be diverted to the Tax Increment Fund and have representation on the TIRZ Board. 3 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NO. 2 FINANCING OPTIONS FOR TAX INCREMENT SUPPORTED DEBT Combination Tax and TIRZ Revenue Certificates of Obligation ^ Same rating as general obligation bonds; ^ Requires a pledge of tax increment revenues and ad valorem property taxes; ^ Are subject to vote if petitioned by 5% of the registered voters; ^ Most cost effective debt option; ^ Sold on a more timely basis. TIRZ Revenue Bonds ^ Supported solely by the revenues generated by the TIRZ zone; ^ Cannot generally be marketed until improvements are on the ground; ^ Generally, these are sold at a lower rating than certificates of obligation; ^ They require the use of a Reserve Fund and restrictive additional issuance covenants; ^ Higher borrowing costs. 4 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NO. 2 FLOW-OF-FUNDS Interest Earnings on Construction Fund c2~ Tax Increment Revenues Tax Increment Fund Debt Service Fund Bond Holders (1) If necessary.

In November 1997, the North Richland Hills City Council authorized the joint funding of two consultant studies to determine 1) the market for such a Town Center development and 2) the need for proposed public facilities to be constructed within the project. Consultants delivered the resulting analysis in June 1998, which quantified the need for a mixed-use "traditional neighborhood development" (TND)"-and likewise illustrated market demand for a new library building and recreation center. Representatives of Arcadia Realty Corporation brought renowned city planner Andres Duany to Tarrant County College for an evening presentation in early September 1998. The event allowed the City to introduce representatives of Blue Line Ice Complex, who announced their plans to locate in the Town Center as its first anchor development. Six weeks later in mid-October, Arcadia and the City co-produced a weeklong design workshop-convening a team of architects, planners, engineers and specialists led by Duany/Plater-Zyberk, Inc. The week of public and private meetings with adjacent property owners, community leaders and interested citizens culminated in the presentation of a detailed site plan fora 280-acre Town Center development-and preliminary drawings featuring buildings with a "Texas Regional" architectural look. Discussions then turned to Town Center zoning. After several weeks of consideration- and joint talks with Arcadia officials-the North Richland Hills City Council became the first known local governing body in the United States (and possibly the world) to create and adopt a Town Center zoning classification (in January 1999). At the same time, Council approved an amended Thoroughfare Plan for the development. Representatives of Carter & Burgess immediately began preparing the preliminary site plan and civil engineering documents-and likewise started negotiating with the U.S. Corps of Engineers concerning the Town Center lakes development. Preparation of the site plan included periodic meetings with the City Departments involved in North Richland Hills' Development Review Committee. 7 BACKGROUND cont. While Carter & Burgess formally submitted the preliminary plat for review in the Summer of 1999-and it was eventually approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on August 26-City Council members continued discussions on the Library and Recreation Center at a Workshop on August 17. On August 23, Council unanimously passed Resolution 99-60 expressing intent to create Reinvestment Zone Number 2. On September 13, 1999 City Council accepted the Preliminary Project Plan and Preliminary Financing Plan. On October 25, 1999 the North Richland Hills City Council approved Ordinance No. 2420 establishing Reinvestment Zone Number 2, City of North Richland Hills. The Zone's Board of Directors adopted the Board Bylaws and approved the Preliminary Project and Financing Plan on November 1, 1999.

In November 1997, the North Richland Hills City Council authorized the joint funding of two consultant studies to determine 1) the market for such a Town Center development and 2) the need for proposed public facilities to be constructed within the project. Consultants delivered the resulting analysis in June 1998, which quantified the need for a mixed-use "traditional neighborhood development" (TND)"-and likewise illustrated market demand for a new library building and recreation center. Representatives of Arcadia Realty Corporation brought renowned city planner Andres Duany to Tarrant County College for an evening presentation in early September 1998. The event allowed the City to introduce representatives of Blue Line Ice Complex, who announced their plans to locate in the Town Center as its first anchor development. Six weeks later in mid-October, Arcadia and the City co-produced a weeklong design workshop-convening a team of architects, planners, engineers and specialists led by Duany/Plater-Zyberk, Inc. The week of public and private meetings with adjacent property owners, community leaders and interested citizens culminated in the presentation of a detailed site plan fora 280-acre Town Center development-and preliminary drawings featuring buildings with a "Texas Regional" architectural look. Discussions then turned to Town Center zoning. After several weeks of consideration-and joint talks with Arcadia officials-the North Richland Hills City Council became the first known local governing body in the United States (and possibly the world) to create and adopt a Town Center zoning classification (in January 1999). At the same time, Council approved an amended Thoroughfare Plan for the development. Representatives of Carter & Burgess immediately began preparing the preliminary site plan and civil engineering documents-and likewise started negotiating with the U.S. Corps of Engineers concerning the Town Center lakes development. Preparation of the site plan included periodic meetings with the City Departments involved in North Richland Hills' Development Review Committee. Preliminary Project Plan Page 3 While Carter & Burgess formally submitted the preliminary plat for review in the Summer of 1999-and it was eventually approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on August 26-City Councilmembers continued discussions on the Library and Recreation Center at a Workshop on August 17. On August 23, Council unanimously passed Resolution 99-60 expressing intent to create Reinvestment Zone Number 2. On September 13, 1999 City Council accepted the Preliminary Project Plan and Preliminary Financing Plan. On October 25, 1999 the North Richland Hills City Council approved Ordinance No. 2420 establishing Reinvestment Zone Number 2, City of North Richland Hills. The Zone's Board of Directors adopted the Board Bylaws and approved the Preliminary Project and Financing Plan on November 1, 1999. DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND COST OF PROJECTS Throughout the Town Center discussions, Arcadia Realty Corporation representatives and North Richland Hills City officials have discussed the idea of placing a library in the eastern-most portion of the project, and a recreation center as shown on the included Master Plan. There have likewise been informal discussions among Arcadia representatives, Tarrant County College (TCC) officials and City staff regarding aConference/Performing Arts Center to be operated by TCC's Northeast Campus. Located at the eastern edge of Town Center (at or near where "City Hall is shown on the Town Center plan), this facility will supplement the "Civic" facility recommended by consultants during the October 1998 Design Workshop. More recently, City and Arcadia Realty Corporation officials have also considered the infrastructure improvements necessary to facilitate the Town Center's commercial development.
