It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its CIP plan throughout the fiscal year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as
projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. The actions in the M&C will amend the City of
Fort Worth's Fiscal Year 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program as follows.

This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water & Sewer Fund. Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used
to provide interim financing for this project until the debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to
reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution. Under federal law,
debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
