Strong Jannette S.Goodall Sr.Assistant City Attorney City Secretary Vol ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE:June 28,2022 *' f ��s City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: 06/28/22 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 22-0486 LOG NAME: 60FY22BUDGETADJUSTMENT SUBJECT (ALL)Enact Budget Adjustments by Allocating Projected Current-Year Revenues to Offset Projected Shortfalls, Fund Departmental Capital Outlays and Future Capital Projects,Adopt Attached Appropriation Ordinances and Amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Fund in the amount of $22,100,000.00,from newly recognized revenues,for the purpose of funding increased operating expenses and transferring to the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund; 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water&Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$2,408,000.00,transferred from available funds in the Water and Sewer Fund,for the purpose of funding the Water and Sewer Outlay programmable project(City Project No. P00087);and 3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to fund anticipated shortfalls in operating funds and capital projects by recognizing additional Water&Sewer revenues projected to be received by the Utility due to significantly drier than usual weather conditions during the first half of the fiscal year. Receipts and appropriations in the Water&Sewer Fund will be increased to address current operating costs affected by inflation and supply chain issues, pre-funding capital equipment and vehicle purchases originally slated for the FY2023 budget,and supplementing the Utility's pay-as-you-go capital program which has also been affected by inflation and supply chain issues. Water&Sewer Fund (recommendation 1) Per Ordinance No. 25073-09 2021 Section 4,the FY2022 adopted budget for the Water and Sewer Fund was$491,582,041.00. M&C appropriations throughout the year increased the budget by$1,443,028.00 to$493,025,069.00(M&C 22-0260 and M&C 22-0043).This M&C recommends an additional$22,100,000.00 in revenue and expenditure appropriations for FY2022,for an adjusted budget of$515,125,069.00. Expenditure appropriations in the General Operating and Maintenance accounts will increase by$12,050,000.00.Recent chemical bids and residential meter costs have significantly increased, natural gas rates have increased four-fold,and supply chain issues have caused delays in receiving needed parts and supplies.These issues are causing large projected overruns to the current FY2022 budget.These same inflationary costs and supply chain issues,such as the cost of pipe and electrical materials,are impacting the costs of our capital projects and pay-as-you-go program as well. The Utility will also pre-fund capital equipment and some vehicles originally slated for the FY2023 budget in FY2022. Consequently,the Transfer appropriations will also increase by$10,050,000. These appropriations will allow the Utility to address these rising costs. To balance these increases in expenditures, revenue appropriations will also increase by$22,100,000.00. The first half of this fiscal year has been significantly warmer and drier than normal and retail service revenue is expected to exceed projections, helping to offset the aforementioned rising costs. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021, Section 4. Enterprise Funds,as listed on page 18.
