STATE OF TEXAS (SPECIFIY IF OTHER) § COUNTY OF LUBBOCK (SPECIFY IF OTHER) § This instrument was ACKNOWLEDGED before me this _ day of , 2002 by Notary Pubic, State of Texas [Seal] Printed name of Notary Public My Commission expires Please return the signed, notarized petition to: Rob Allison, Business and Neighborhood Development Manager, City of Lubbock, P 0 Box 2000, Lubbock, TX 79457. NORTH OVERTON PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (PID) The proposed North Overton Public Improvement District (PID) generally covers the same boundary as the Tax Increment Financing District, but is slightly smaller as shown on the attached map. The purpose of the PID is to enhance and maintain landscaping and public improvements within the street rights -of - way, provide increased security within the PID area, and also potentially provide for a trolley shuttle service. A PID is funded by a small assessment based on the value of each property within the PID. This assessment will generate sufficient funds to pay the projected expenses of the PID. As an example, with an assessment of $0.10 per $100 valuation, an owner with a property valued at $100,000 would pay an assessment of only $100 per year for the increased landscaping and public improvement maintenance, enhanced security, and trolley service. It is expected that the assessment rate would be no more than $0.10 per $100 valuation, and maybe less. A PID is initiated by property owners within the proposed PID boundary, indicated by their signing a petition requesting that the City create the PID. The petition is sufficient if it is signed by the owners of at least 50% of the appraised value of property within the PID boundary, and owners of either of the following: at least 50% of the area of all property within the proposed PID boundary, or, at least 50% of the number of properties within the proposed PID boundary. An advisory body may be established to develop and recommend an improvement plan to the City Council. In addition to a petition signed by the sufficient number of owners, a five-year initial Service Plan must be prepared which outlines (among other things) the proposed services to be provided, management of the district, and the proposed method of assessment and apportionment of costs required to fund those services. Following submission of the petition and Five-year Service Plan, the City Council then holds a public hearing to discuss and receive comments regarding establishment of the PID. Each property owner within the proposed PID will receive written notification of this public hearing. At a subsequent meeting, the City Council then approves a Resolution which establishes the PID, the proposed services and costs, and the method of assessment. Normally, a majority vote of Council is satisfactory. The PID approval process normally takes about 4-5 months after submission of the petition to the City. Based on this time requirement, it is expected that if approved, the North Overton PID would take effect July 1, 2003.
