DISCUSSION:
During the formulation of the 07-08 Budget, $3.66 million was earmarked as funding for capital
projects. Also at this time, because $1.83 million of the $3.66 million was budgeted in the FY 07-08
Operating Budget, staff recommends the transfer of $1.83 million from the Operating Budget to the
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund to combine both funding sources in one fund for more precise
recording of expenditures and revenues.

Staff proposes to fund $500,000 of this project with that funding source, as plans were to recommend it for
inclusion in a future bond program, anticipated in May 2008.
On April 10, 2007, (G-15671) City Council approved the closure of Litsey Road Bridge East at Henrietta
Creek pending its replacement. An inspection of the Litsey Road Bridge by staff found that the bridge deck
was severely deteriorated and the bridge was immediately closed to traffic.
The project consists of the replacement of Litsey Road Bridge at Henrietta Creek and associated roadway
improvements at an estimated cost of $3,712,000.
The bridge replacement cost is estimated at $2,100,000. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
by a separate agreement will participate $1,218,000, Denton County $411,000, and the City of Fort Worth
$471,000. TxDOT will manage the bridge project.
Roadway improvements to Litsey Road with an estimated cost of $1,612,000. Denton County will
participate $1,142,000, and the City of Fort Worth $470,000, in addition $30,493 will be needed for costs for
management and contingencies. The City of Fort Worth agrees to collect funds from Denton County and let
the roadway project for construction and to provide project management.
The City included $150,000 from the 1998 Capital Improvement New Development Fund and has received
$321,493 from previous developer contributions for future improvements to Litsey Road through Community
Facilities Agreements, which will be used for these projects.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
