DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to take actions associated with preparing
two legacy capital projects funds -the Environmental Management Projects Close Fund and the Solid
Waste Capital Projects Close Fund -for closure.
The actions include balancing previous expenditures in projects by appropriating funds so that budget

conforms to actuals. This M&C also transfers remaining funds from the Environmental Management
Projects Close Fund to the current fund Environmental Protection Capital Projects Fund and from the
Solid Waste Capital Projects Close Fund to the Solid Waste Debt Service Fund. With the use of the Solid
Waste legacy dollars for debt service, the M&C also revises the adopted budget to reallocate that same
amount from a planned debt service transfer to a transfer to capital.
On September 29, 2015, the City Council approved an ordinance repealing Section 2-11,
Intradepartmental Transfer of Funds for Capital Improvement Projects, of the Code of the City of Fort
Worth (M&C G-18571). By repealing this provision, all transfers of funds relating to Capital Projects
require City Council approval. Although there were many projects balanced prior to go-live of the current
Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) Phase II, there is an on-going review of projects that were out of
balance prior to go-live.
The following is a list of projects in the Environmental Management Projects Close Fund and the Solid
Waste Capital Projects Close Fund that require appropriation of funds to be brought into balance:
Environmental Management Projects Close Fund:
Effective Environmental - ENV $1,140.00
Personnel (Administration) $42.381
i
[Total Environmental Management Projects $ 1,182.38
Solid Waste Capital Projects Close Fund:
Old Fire Station No. 12 Repurpose $2,181.07
Unspecified $2,927.10
Total Solid Waste Projects $5,108.17
Following the balancing of these projects, the residual amount in each legacy fund will be transferred for a
current use with dollars in the Environmental Management legacy fund being transferred to capital and the
balance in the Solid Waste Fund being transferred to debt. Use of these legacy dollars for debt service
frees up the same amount in the Solid Waste operating fund for a transfer to capital.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
