DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to facilitate the closure of the Lake Worth

Trust Fund. The financial transactions outlined within this M&C were performed in early December in
order to meet the deadline to provide the internal auditors with a complete or substantially complete trial
balance on Monday, December 11th. This M&C seeks approval to formally approve those transactions.
The Lake Worth Trust Fund was originally established for the purpose of providing future funds to
purchase real property assets upon expiration of individual leases on city-owned property surrounding
Lake Worth. Historically, the fund has also been used for maintenance of parks and green space,
rehabilitation and repair of boat ramps and the purchase of several parcels of land near the Fort Worth
Nature Center, in addition to funding a portion of the operating costs associated with administering leases
and the Lake Worth Marshal patrol services.
In 2000, the City Council approved M&C G-12916 which established the Lake Worth Infrastructure Fund
as a subaccount of the Lake Worth Trust Fund for the purpose of providing funding for water and
wastewater improvements surrounding Lake Worth. In accordance with this Council action, sale of leased
properties was directed to the Lake Worth Infrastructure Fund. The Lake Worth Trust Fund continued to
have an operational side to the fund which was used for maintenance of parks and green space, costs
associated with administering leases and funding the Marshals assigned to the Lake.
Starting in Fiscal Year 2018, the proceeds associated with the sale of boat stickers and lease revenues
were designated for deposit in the General Fund. This M&C moves residuals (prior year receipts) of this
type from their current account to the General Fund.
Starting in Fiscal Year 2018, the proceeds from the sale of Lake Worth property will be deposited in the
Water and Sewer Fund and subsequently transferred to the Water Capital Projects Fund, Lake Worth
Infrastructure Programmable Project. The Lake Worth Infrastructure Programmable Project will serve as a
repository for these designated proceeds which must be expended on capital projects at Lake Worth, per
prior Agreement.
Mayor and Council Communication (M&C G-19089), approved by the Council on September 12, 2017,
enabled the first step in closure of the Lake Worth Fund and foreshadowed this M&C. This M&C is the
final step in the closure of the Lake Worth Trust Fund.
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 ordinances, funds will be available in the current budgets, as appropriated, of the
Lake Worth Trust Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Water Capital Projects Fund, Lake Worth Infrastructure
Programmable Project and the General Fund to facilitate the closure of the Lake Worth Trust Fund.
