Amend Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget and Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to adjust the Fiscal Year(FY)2023 appropriations for various funds associated with the Public Events Department(PED)to take into account updated, higher projections for hotel occupancy tax(HOT)and other revenues. Adoption of this M&C and the attached ordinances will revise the FY2023 debt and capital strategy to more accurately reflect the original intent of debt support for the Venue Debt Service Fund from the Culture and Tourism Project Finance Zone(PFZ)and Venue Tax collections. With those sources utilized for debt service requirements,other resources can be used to increase the FY2023 Capital Improvement Program(CIP), supporting an increase in capital transfers by$2,175,454.00 for the Public Events Department(for a total of$8,571,454.00)and adding two additional static capital improvement projects for FY2023 from the DFW Revenue Share funds. This M&C also makes a modest increase to the operating budget to increase funding available for contractual agreements with Visit Fort Worth in FY2023. Operating Amendments in Support of Contractual Agreements Culture&Tourism Fund (Recommendation 1) M&C 22-0566,approved September 8,2022,amended the Culture and Tourism FY2022 budget and amended City Secretary Contract No. (CSC)44949-A7 with Visit Fort Worth in the amount of$90,000.00 for reimbursement of economic development promotional services in calendar 2022. Reimbursement through September of 2022 was made in the amount of$56,000.00. This M&C appropriates funds and increases the FY23 budget for the remaining$36,000.00 in contractual reimbursement to be made in the first quarter of the current fiscal year(for the months of October through December)from existing available Culture&Tourism funds. In addition,the fifth amendment to the professional services agreement with Visit Fort Worth(CSC 44949-R2-A5)for FY2023 was executed October 1,2023 and increases contractual obligations by$100,000.00 for funding of sports marketing for the Special Public Facilities Fund (SPFF)from available Culture and Tourism funds.The first appropriation ordinance also provides the funds to support that additional amount.

Projections increased significantly. Therefore,with the new information and subsequent strategy sessions, PED seeks to amend its FY2023 budget to re-source the revenues supporting debt service payments. PED also proposes using$382,716.00 in residual dollars from a cash-funded reserve that had been created as a programmable project in the Public Events Capital Projects Fund in anticipation of the Bodycote property acquisition and relocation that was part of the Dickies Arena project. With the arena project having been completed,the remaining dollars in this reserve(from prior annual capital allocations out of the Culture& Tourism operating funds)are available for use on 3rd party expenses or debt service payments associated with the Venue Debt Service Fund. PFZ Fund (Recommendation 2) Adoption of this M&C increases the FY2023 budget for PFZ by 95%, as post-pandemic stability continues to be established in the travel and tourism industry. The addition of new hotels in the PFZ,as well as increased average daily rates(ADR),also acted as significant drivers for anticipated increases in the Fund's growth as the State does not retain any portion of taxes generated from establishments within the zone that were opened after 2013.Additionally, FY2022 revenue has exceeded the adopted budget. Staff recommends allocating the entire$8.2M in anticipated PFZ collections for FY2023 to venue debt obligations. When combined with the use of the$382K from the cash-funded"reserve"(City Project No. 104473),these actions allow the elimination of all HOT 2%allocations to Venue Debt and result in the PFZ revenues and Capital Fund"reserve"covering 54%of the total$15M FY2023 payment for Dickies Arena debt. Assuming continued stability in hotel-related revenue forecasts,future debt payments will be structured in keeping with the original strategy of the PFZ and Venue Tax covering all Dickies debt. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 2. Special Revenue Funds,as listed on page 8.

As such the FY2023 proposed budget increases by 37%,and staff recommends allocating the entire anticipated tax collections of$5.9M for FY2023 to debt obligations on Dickies Arena,covering 40%of the total$15M payment,and allowing the elimination of all HOT 2%allocations to the Venue Debt Fund in FY2023. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 2. Special Revenue Funds,as listed on page 9.

With the significant revenue increases projected for FY2023 in both the Venue Tax and the PFZ projections anticipated to cover the venue debt service payments,staff recommends elimination of HOT 2%transfers/contributions to the Venue Debt Fund in FY2023, replaced with increased debt service payments from these other funds. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 2. Special Revenue Funds,as listed on page 8.

This recommendation will align the debt contribution from these two funds, inclusive of the other reallocations in PFZ and HOT 2%and use of the residual cash-funded reserve from the Capital Fund programmable as recommended in this M&C.

Also this Fund performed better than anticipated in FY2022,with collections exceeding budget by$1.2M,which reduced the planned use of fund balance from$2.2M to$913K to meet debt obligations. The adopted budget already includes$1.875M for capital improvements in FY2023, and staff recommends an increase of $2.175M (resulting in a total capital transfer of$4.05M)to fund the WRMC 2023 Facility Assessment and WRMC Stall Panel Replacement and to stage funds to supplement active grant-funded capital projects,as needed,for anticipated shortfalls,all while still allowing for an approximately $675K contribution to fund balance in FY2023. Additionally,the FY17 CIP for Public Events as adopted in the 2017-2021 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan on December 13,2016, appropriated$250,000.00 for programmable project P00054-WRMC Minor Renovations and Repairs. The budgets were appropriated in accordance with M&C G-18914; however the receipts were transferred monthly in equal 1/12th increments that resulted in a total transfer of only $249,996.00 due to rounding. The result is that currently,the Culture&Tourism Capital Project Fund is off balance by$4.00. The action in this M&C is a transfer only and will balance the amount previously appropriated and expended. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 2. Special Revenue Funds,as listed on page 8.

Since that assessment,approximately 40%of the deficiencies have been addressed or remediated.The 2023 Facility Assessment will use data from the 2018 Assessment and review existing conditions and document areas found that are deficient or in need of repairs. Like the 2018 Assessment,the new Assessment will provide a review and analysis of existing conditions and recommendations for remediation and proposed corrective action. Finally,the Facility Assessment will develop an opinion of probable construction cost for the proposed modifications.The current budget for this project is$350,000.00,which includes the actual assessment, review and analysis of existing conditions and recommendations for remediation and proposed corrective action, an opinion of probable construction cost for the proposed modifications,and a final report.The project will take approximately 36 weeks to complete from start to published findings. WRMC Stall Panel Replacement(CPN 104397) Current stall panels in the Burnett Building are heavy and bulky. Staff recommends moving these panels to other stall locations in the WRMC Complex where these panels only have to be moved once or twice a year and buying replacements for the Burnett. The new panels will be lighter and more easily moved,thus reducing the risk of employee injury. Additionally,power distribution in the Burnett Building does not meet the needs of WRMC customers.The current flooring in the facility is uneven,with areas that are potential tripping hazards. Recommended remediation includes purchasing light-weight, durable and transportable stall panels; reconfiguration to improve overall power distribution throughout the interior of the building to the end users;and replacing existing asphalt floors.The time from ordering the panels to full completion is projected at approximately 36 weeks due to current supply chain issues.The current estimate to complete this project is$825,450.00 which includes the purchase and installation of the light-weight and durable stall panels,the redistribution of power to the individual stall,and replacement of the asphalt floor. These new capital projects will add to those previously approved in the Capital Improvement Program as follows: Capital Fund Project Name FY2023 CIP Authority Budget Revised FY2023 Name Appropriations Adjustment Budget 30205-PublicV\1RMC 2023 Events Facility $ - This M&C rec 7 $ 350,000.00 $ 350,000.00 Capital Assessment P_104399 30205-Public WRMC Stall Events Panel $ - This M&C rec 7 $ 825,450.00 $ 825,450.00 Capital Replacement P_104397 A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
