DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to accept of State funds in the amount of$412,885.00,through the Texas
Department of Transportation for the 2018 Railroad THE DART at N. Beach Street Project(City Project No. 101865), and to adopt a resolution

The Railway-Highway Crossing Section 130 program provides funding for the elimination of hazards at railway-highway crossings.City Project No.
101865 meets the eligibility requirement for funding-eligible activities.The Transportation and Public Works(TPW) Department applied to the Rail
Highway Section Director of the Texas Department of Transportation on April 13,2020,for Section 130 funds for the improvement of the railroad
crossing of above mentioned project.The Rail Highway Section Director of Texas Department of Transportation affirmed that the crossing
mentioned above is eligible for funding of a portion of the construction cost through the Section 130 funds.The project is not required to be entered
into the Transportation Improvement Program(TIP).
The Texas Transportation Commission passed Minute Order Number 116073,authorizing the State to undertake and complete a highway
improvement or other transportation projects generally described as Railroad Crossing Improvements.
The following table summarizes the cost for the project:

Grand Total $ $412,885.00 $445,000.00 �$857,885.00
This project is included in the 2018 Bond Program Fund.Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until
debt is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No.23209-05-2018)
and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
Approval of Recommendation 3 would adjust appropriations between a programmable project and convert the 2018 Bond Railway THE DART
project(City Project No. 101865)into a static capital project.This action is needed as future funding for the 2018 Bond Railway THE DART
project is anticipated from other funding sources and the scope of this project differs from that of the current programmable project.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 and 8.
