The City of Fort Worth Financial Management Policy Statements,Governmental Funds Reserve Policy states that Special Revenue Funds,of
which the Municipal Golf Fund operates as,will maintain a minimum fund balance amount equivalent to two months(16.67%)of regular,on-going
operating expenditures(Section V.D.).
In Fiscal Year(FY)2020,Municipal Golf Fund revenues totaled$5,082,729.76 and expenditures totaled$4,383,478.10 resulting in$699,251.66 in
excess revenues over expenditures. At the end of FY2020,the total fund balance of the Municipal Golf Fund was$870,848.94.The FY2021
operating budget for the Municipal Golf Fund is$5,032,048.00,resulting in a required minimum fund balance of$838,842.40. The proposed
$350,000.00 transfer from the Municipal Golf Fund would leave the fund$317,993.46 short of the required minimum fund balance. In accordance
with the Governmental Funds Reserve Policy,a five-year financial plan has been developed to ensure the fund is in compliance of minimum fund
balance requirements by FY2026. It is anticipated that the fund will contribute a minimum of$65,000.00 at the end of each fiscal year toward the
fund balance.
The table below outlines the available fund balance at the beginning of the prior fiscal year(FY2020)and projected on-going continuous fund
balance contributions over the next five years to achieve the required minimum fund balance. Annual contribution targets will be achieved through
excess revenues over expenditures.

relieve the impacts of future operating or capital budgets.Projects and improvements include a master plan for improvements at Meadowbrook
Golf Course($125,000.00),irrigation water well repairs at Meadowbrook Golf Course($100,000.00), miscellaneous equipment replacement at all
three golf courses($100,000.00),and repairs to the cart storage and maintenance facility at Pecan Valley Golf Course($25,000.00). Funding for
this project was not included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program(CIP)due to projects not identified until after the CIP was
