DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C) is to authorize the distribution of available income from The Fort Worth Permanent
Fund (Trust),transfer to the appropriate gas lease capital project funds for eligible project funding,and transfer to the General Fund for public art
and other eligible uses.Subsequent appropriations will be required to authorize expenditure from this distribution.
In 2008,the City Council adopted amendments to the City's Financial Management Policy Statements(FMPS)to establish the Trust known as The
Fort Worth Permanent Fund (M&C G-16013).The City Council subsequently authorized executing an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(Wells Fargo),to serve as Corporate Trustee(M&C P-11467),and all of the accumulated money that had been designated for inclusion in the Trust
was transferred to Wells Fargo in June 2013. During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2022,the Financial Management Services Department(FMS)
issued a Request for Qualifications for Trust management services. Through that competitive process,Wells Fargo was once again selected to
serve as the Trustee(M&C 22-0212).
In accordance with the terms of the written Trust Agreement and the FMPS,the Trust is maintained as a consolidated account and divided into five
sub-accounts. Funds in the Trust are invested in accordance with the City Council adopted Investment Policy and Strategy for the Trust. In addition,
the Trustee works with the City's Chief Financial Officer/Director of Finance (CFO)to determine the amount of income available for distribution
each year. A recommendation is then brought forward the City Council for consideration. Expenditure of distributed income is subject to the
FMPS,with the funds generally being available only for funding one-time program initiatives, capital projects that comply with certain listed
requirements and, in the case of distributions from the general endowment,arts programming and other allowable uses.
The distribution outlined in recommendation#2 of this M&C includes no corpus of the Trust; rather, it relates only to income received from the
investments within the Trust itself,
The Nature Center Endowment Gas Lease Fund does not currently have any income available for distribution.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Aviation, PARD,Water/Sewer,and General Endowment Gas Lease
Funds and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances,funds will be available in the
Aviation,PARD,and Water/Sewer Gas Lease Capital Projects Funds and the General Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Financial
Management Services Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
