authorized the Culture and Tourism fund balance in excess of the twenty percent reserve to be used
exclusively for improvements and maintenance to the Public Events venues.
The security system will provide video surveillance, including 32 video cameras to view the pedestrian
entries, elevator lobbies, stairway exits, main drive lanes, booth cashiers, booth lanes and main garage
entries /exits on all levels. An intrusion system with covert panic buttons and motion sensors for the office
will also be included. The cost includes the cost to connect the system to the City of Fort Worth network
and will be performed through an existing annual agreement with Sentinel.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
operating budget, as appropriated, of the Culture and Tourism Fund. Upon approval, the unaudited,
unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the Culture and Tourism Fund will exceed the minimum reserve
as outlined in the Financial Management Policy Statements.
