DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth's annual Operating Budget is formally enacted into law by City Council action adopting an appropriation ordinance that
establishes spending limits for each department's operation.
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to adjust the final budget and authorize transactions to reflect actual performance
for the fiscal year ending September 30,2022.Any amounts over budget must be appropriated by action of the City Council, in accordance with
the City Charter(Chapter X,Section 5, Expenditures Only Pursuant to Appropriations).This action represents the final step before the extemal
audit can be completed and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report published after the windup M&C (22-0600)approved by City Council on
August 23,2022.
Appropriations reflected in the attached ordinances include adjusted appropriations in the departmental budgets within the General Fund to offset
excess expenditures or re-purposed funds,with the total amount offset by a decrease in the non-departmental budget in the General Fund for a net
zero impact. Below is a brief explanation of the activity that caused deviations from the adopted budget:
Department Additional Appropriations
GENERALFUND
Police Department$2,910,000.00
Reason:The deficit is due to increased prices for fuel and fleet maintenance activities, as well as separation pay. Separation pay is budgeted
within the Non-Departmental Department and transferred to departments as necessary. Savings within the Non-Departmental budget will be used
to offset the increased costs for fuel and fleet expenses.
Non-Departmental Department-$2,910,000.00
Reason:The remaining appropriations for separation leave and other operating costs are being moved to the Police Department.
Approval of this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget, as approved with Ordinance 25073-09-2021, Section 1,as follows:

STATE ASSET FORFEITURE FUND
The State Asset Forfeiture Fund was appropriated via M&C 22-0092 in the amount of$642,758.00 to fund operating expenses from fund balance.
The fund subsequently collected enough revenue to fund expenditures and therefore does not need to use the appropriated fund balance.Approval
of this M&C effectively reduces the use of fund balance in the amount of$420,637.00,and recognizes actual revenues collected by the same
amount.This fund was not appropriated in the original budget adoption ordinance.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT#16(QUAIL VALLEY)
The Quail Valley Public Improvement District(PID)budget encountered a system error while being loaded,effectively doubling the budget.
Approval of this M&C is administrative,effectively reduces the use of fund balance in the amount of$838,499.00,and recognizes actual revenues
collected by the same amount.Because PIDs are appropriated outside the regular budget process and ordinance,there is no impact to the
original budget adoption ordinance.
TAX INCREMENT REINVESTING ZONE#13(WOODHAVEN)
The Woodhaven Tax Increment Reinvesting Zone(TIRZ)was approved with a use of fund balance that was not available.Approval of this M&C
effectively reduces the use of fund balance in the amount of$3,000,000.00,and recognizes actual revenues collected by the same amount.
Because TIRZs are appropriated outside the regular budget process and ordinance,there is no impact to the original budget adoption ordinance.
Commitment of Funds
GENERALFUND
Committed Fund Balance for Contractual Obligations from Fiscal Year 2022 Activity
Financial Management Services:$109,000.00
Reason:Consulting contract in the amount of$40,000.00 and software implementation contract in the amount of$69,000.00 were only half-
completed at year end.
Diversity&Inclusion Department:$300,000.00
Reason:City Council approved M&C 22-0364 supporting business equity programs.These activities were delayed and not started by year end.
Police:$574,628.00
Reason:Severe ammunition supply shortages resulted in an outstanding delivery of$440,079.00 of ammo ordered in FY2022 and expected to be
delivered in FY2023. Delayed delivery of body armor resulted in an outstanding delivery of$134,549.00 ordered in FY2022 and expected to be
delivered in FY2023.
Economic Development:$683,897.00
Reason:Three valid 380 agreements met the requirements for fulfillment during FY2022 but the necessary documentation was not completed to
fulfill the contracts until FY2023.
Approval of this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget,as approved with Ordinance 25773-09-2022,Section 1,as follows:
General Fund Department FY2023 Adopted Budget Budget Change FY2023 Revised Budget

Police �� $298,551,538.00 $574,628.00 $299,126,166.00
Economic Development $43,767,568.00 $683,897.001 $44,451,465.00
Assignments of Fund Balance
General Fund:$31,582,598.00
Reason:Assigning fund balance is a regular practice as part of the year end close process.Each year,unassigned fund balance is measured
against the policy minimum balance and compared to known financial needs that fell outside the current operating budget.The following
requirements have been identified as prudent uses of the Fiscal Year(FY)2022 fund balance:
Description Amount
Juneteenth Museum $15,000,000.00
Museum of Science&Theatre Digital Dome L $5,000,000.00
Public Safety Payroll Project $1,265,000.00
ITS Public Safety Radio Replacement Project $859,106.00
Capital Projects Shortfalls $9,458,492.00
TOTAL ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE $31,582,598.00
These priorities will be presented for approval to Council as the projects progress and will be appropriated at the time of approval.Assigning the
funds as outlined still results in the City maintaining the unassigned fund balance above the 16.67%of expenditures required by policy.
Approval of this M&C during the February 14,2023 meeting will ratify some associated necessary entries that had to be made on or before
February 1 to facilitate the timely year end close and required independent auditor review.Cancellation of the January 31 meeting precipitated this
ratification.
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 upon approval of the above recommendations and the adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances,
funds will be available in the FY2022 operating budget and the FY2023 operating budgets noted as appropriated to the various funds. Prior to any
expenditure being incurred,participating departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of funds in FY2023.
