RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Year 2017 in an amount up to $464,465.00 from the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Project Fund, Aviation
Endowment Gas Lease Fund, General Gas Lease Capital Fund, General Endowment Gas Lease Fund,

2. Authorize the transfer in an amount up to $464,465.00 from gas related revenue to the General Fund to

DISCUSSION:
On September 15, 2015, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C G-18552), the City Council adopted
Financial Management Policy Statements (FMPS) for the City and on November 1, 2016 (M&C G-18872)
further revisions to the gas related revenue and expenditure/expense policy were adopted. These policies
include a provision allowing for the periodic transfer of gas lease revenues to the General Fund to offset
budgeted administrative costs in the Property Management Department associated with the management
of the city-owned mineral interest properties. Total expected expenditures in an amount up to
$464,465.00 include the budgeted categories noted below.
Employee Salaries and Benefits $ 364,740.00
Operational Expenses $ 99,725.00
Total Expenditures $464,465.00
In Fiscal Year 2017 through the month of July, Property Management staff deposited and allocated
$12,246,156.00 in bonus and royalties derived from the management of over 600 mineral leases on City
properties. The total revenue for the entire Fiscal Year 2017 is estimated to be $14.7 million.
In accordance with the FMPS, the cost of managing mineral leases and distributing revenue from city-
Lognarne: 21GAS OPERATING EXPENSES FY2017 Page 1 of 2
owned mineral interest properties should be proportional to the revenue collected in all funds, including
the permanent funds, for that reporting period. Operating expenditures in amount up to $464,465.00 will
be allocated proportionately based on revenues received by each fund for the royalties in Fiscal Year
2017.
Gas lease revenues are dependent on several factors including natural gas market price and the amount
of production of natural gas by well. Additional factors include gas company drilling schedules, weather
and access to pipelines to take the natural gas to market. Based on these factors, the allocation of
revenue per the City's Financial Management Policy Statements among the various capital and
endowment funds varies by fiscal year. Those funds include: the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Project
Fund, Aviation Endowment Gas Lease Fund, General Gas Lease Capital Fund, General Endowment Gas
Lease Fund, PAC Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund, PAC Endowment Gas Lease Fund, Municipal Golf
Gas Lease Capital Project Fund, Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund, Water/Sewer Gas Lease
Capital Projects Fund and the Water/Sewer Endowment Gas Lease Fund.
These appropriations will be accounted for in Fiscal Year 2017 since that is the period in which the
expenditures were incurred and the final actual expenditures will be determined by the Mineral
Management Section of the Property Management Department and the associated accounting entries
recorded.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available as appropriated of the various gas related funds.
