2.Amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to take actions to facilitate mid-year adjustments and to comply with City Charter.
Those actions can generally be described as adjusting funding among General Fund departments.
The City's annual operating budget is formally enacted into law by City Council action adopting an appropriation ordinance(Ordinance No.25073-
09-2021,see attached, hereinafter the"Ordinance")that establishes spending limits for each department's and fund's operation. In the past,staff
has waited until the completion of the Annual Financial Report to affect the settlement of General Fund departments.The current practice is to bring
forward this Mid-Year adjustments M&C during the fiscal year to address items that have arisen during the fiscal year.
General Fund(recommendation 1)
The Non-Departmental budget in the General Fund includes allocations based on the anticipated need for separation leave costs for General Fund
employees,contractual costs,election costs and tuition reimbursement costs for Fiscal Year(FY)2022.These allocations are available to be
distributed to individual departments as they have specific expenses in these areas.
This recommendation suggests the transfer of$639,131.00 from Non-Departmental to the City Secretary Office, Economic Development
Department,and Diversity and Inclusion Department.
City Secretary's Office-The adjustment for elections within the City Secretary Office is intended to cover the Tarrant, Denton and Parker County
Election Administrator expenses and administrative costs associated specifically with the council election.
Economic Development Department-The adjustment for Public Improvement District 1 —Downtown(PID)allows the City to meet its'contractual
obligation to reimburse the PID for City-owned property within the district. This additional cost was identified late during the FY2022 budget
development process and funds were budgeted in Non-Departmental.
Diversity&Inclusion Department—The department created the Business Equity Partnership Program. It is a 12-month Pilot program created to
increase measurable capacity-building outcomes of Business Equity partnerships.The Pilot program is separate from the partnership agreement,
in place,with the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce. This program
addresses several of the key recommendations from the City's 2020 Disparity Study, including capacity building, increasing participation
of minority business enterprises(MBEs),Outreach,Mentor-Protege,and Training.Additionally,the program addresses the recommendations from
the City's Race and Culture Task Force on capacity building for MBEs.The City is seeking non-exclusive partnerships with entities that can assist
in supporting its capacity-building efforts.The City's funds will be paid out to the entities based on their reporting and verifiable Results.On January
6,2022,the Business Equity Division, a division of the Diversity and Inclusion Department, publicly advertised a Request for Proposal for its
Business Equity Partnership Program in three key areas, (1) Business Start-ups, (2)Section 3, Returning Resident Workforce& Business
Development, and (3)Supply Chain Networking.The City held a virtual pre-proposal meeting on January 18,and there were approximately 40
attendees.The City received eight submissions from proposers on February 3,2022.An evaluation committee comprised of five representatives
from the Diversity and Inclusion,and Economic Development Departments reviewed the submissions.The evaluation committee met on February
16 and selected five of the eight proposers to provide consulting services in the three key areas.The contract value is not to exceed$300,000.00
The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021, Section 1.
