This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water & Sewer Fund. Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used
to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to
reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution. Under federal law, debt
must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
M/WBE OFFICE: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is in compliance with City's BDE Ordinance by committing to eight percent business equity
participation on this project. The City's business goal on this project is eight percent.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:

Paper Fund for the Trinity Blvd. - 820-Salado Ph1 project to support the approval of the above recommendations and execution of the engineering
agreement. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
