With the approval by the United States Senate on September 12 of a revenue
sharing bill, it appears that once a Congressional Conference Committee
has resolved differences between the House and Senate bills, Federal revenue-
sharing legislation will be approved. At this time, it is uncertain how
much in the way of additional funding can be expected by the City of Fort
Worth or what specific guidelines or restrictions will be tied to the use
of revenue-sharing funds. However, in my opinion, the approval of revenue-
sharing is now certain enough to anticipate the receipt of additional
funding from this source in fiscal year 1972-73 in an amount and with
sufficient flexibility to avoid any tax rate increase.
Although events over the next week to ten days might clarify the situation
regarding specifics of revenue-sharing, it is hoped that an appropriations
ordinance will be adopted and a tax rate set by the City Council on Monday,
September 18, so that the Tax Department will not be delayed in preparing
and mailing tax statements. The loss in City revenue by delaying receipt
of tax payments would be significant.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the 1972-73 Budget
on September 18, and that the ad valorem tax rate be maintained at its
present rate of $1.69 per $100 valuation. If the City Council concurs in
this recommendation, the budget could be balanced by including $2,851,121
from revenue sharing in the General Fund revenue estimates. This is about
one-half of the most conservative estimate published to date regarding the
City of Fort Worth's share of revenue-sharing funds.
If the unexpected happens, and revenue-sharing legislation does not mater-
ialize in the near future, or if guidelines do not allow sufficient flexi-
bility in the use of the funds, other alternatives would have to be
considered at a later date. Such alternatives would include:
1) severely reducing City expenditures from the adopted budget
appropriations;
2) a temporary loan as provided in Section 34 of Chapter XXVIII
of the Charter of the City of Fort Worth.
A summary of changes in the proposed budget tentatively approved by the
City Council to date will be submitted to the Council on September 15th.
These changes will be incorporated into the adopted budget if the City
Council approves the proposed appropriations ordinance and tax levy
ordinance on September 18.
