Kay e Sr. Assistant Cit A rney ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE: September 19. 2017 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 9/19/2017 - Ordinance Nos. 22895-09-2017 & 22896-09- 2017 DATE: Tuesday, September 19, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **G-19098 LOG NAME: 13AVIATIONDEBTSERVICECLOSEOUT SUBJECT: Authorize Transfer and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances in Connection with the Closure of the Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions to facilitate closure of the City's Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund: 1. Adopt the attached ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund (55006) in the amount of$13,450.91; 2. Approve the transfer of$13,450.91 from the Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund to the Municipal Airport Operating Fund; and 3. Adopt the attached ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Municipal Airport Operating Fund in the amount of$13,450.91 resulting from the closure of the Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to approve actions associated with closing the Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund. The Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund extinguished its final bonded debt service payment in fiscal year 2010 and there are no plans to issue airport debt in the foreseeable future. Because all obligations to the bond holders have been fully satisfied, the City can move the balance out of the debt service fund and use it for any lawful purpose. Staff is recommending that the remaining amount in this debt service fund be transferred to the Municipal Airport Operating Fund. The Financial Management Services Department has been conducting a comprehensive review of Funds without activity and providing recommendations regarding closure. The goal has been to verify and cleanse data in all of the old funds in order to close funds that are no longer needed so that the City's financial records are in the best possible condition. The Municipal Airport Debt Service Fund contains residual balances following the payoff of the bonds and Staff recommends the residual amounts be transferred to the Municipal Airport Operating Fund. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
