APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: Assistant Cit Attorney ADOP "IT'D AND EFFECTIVE:: January 10, 2012 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION; Approved on 1/10/2012 - Ordinance No. 20042 -01 -2012 DATE: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: G -17499 LOG NAME: 60IMPACT FEE 11 SUBJECT: Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations from Impact Fee Revenues in the Amount of $4,016,663.00 in the Sewer Capital Project Fund for Fiscal Year 2011 and Authorize the Transfer of the Total Amount of $4,016,663.00 to the Water and Sewer Fund for the Purpose of Paying Debt Associated with Impact Fee Eligible Projects (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Sewer Capital Project Fund in the amount of $4,016,663.00 from impact fees; and 2. Authorize the transfer of $4,016,663.00 from the Sewer Capital Project Fund to the Water and Sewer Fund in the total amount of $4,016,663.00 for the purpose of paying debt associated with impact fee eligible projects for Fiscal Year 2011. DISCUSSION: During the retail cost of service studies, it was determined that the use of impact fee revenues could lower the amount of water and sewer service revenue required to have sufficient revenues to cover Fiscal Year 2011 budgeted expenditures. While Section 35 -70.9 (b) of the City Code "Use of proceeds of impact fee accounts" prohibits use of impact fees for operating expenses, they can be used to pay principal and interest on debt associated with projects eligible to be funded by impact fees. By transferring $4,016,663.00 from Wastewater Impact Fee revenue to the Water and Sewer Fund, sufficient revenues will be available to pay principal and interest on existing revenue bonds used to fund impact fee eligible projects. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Water and Sewer Fund.
