RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $943,848.00 from the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Water and Sewer Cash-Funded
Capital Projects Fund to the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund for the Water Department contribution
to public art funding; and

DISCUSSION:
On October 2, 2001, (M&C G-13396) the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 14794 creating the Fort
Worth Public Art Program. The purpose of the Public Art Program is to:
• create an enhanced visual environment for Fort Worth residents;
• commemorate the City's rich cultural and ethnic diversity;
• integrate the design work of artists into the development of the City's capital infrastructure improvements;
and
• promote tourism and economic vitality in the City through the artistic design of public spaces.
In accordance with City Council policy established in Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2 of the City Code, two
percent of the annual operating budget of the Water and Sewer Fund for cash financing of capital projects is
allocated for public art in the City. This two percent is set aside on an annual basis for the Fort Worth Public
Art Program. Public art is also funded via a two percent set aside of General Obligation (GO) bond funds.
Specific art projects in the Fort Worth Art Commission (FWAC)'s Annual Work Plan, as well as projects
noted in the Long-Range Public Art Plan for the 2004 Capital Improvement Program (approved by Council
on May 17, 2005, M&C G-14801) and the Long-Range Public Art Plan for the Water Fund (approved by
Council on May 9, 2006, M&C G-15185) are funded from that set aside of GO bond and Water and Sewer
Fund capital improvement funds. The FWAC's Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Annual Work Plan of specific new
projects, as well as maintained and conservation projects, will be forthcoming in the M&C for the Arts
Council's Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Fort Worth Public Art Program management contract.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
