DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to swap funding sources among various Public Events capital projects
Approval of this M&C will take $7,875,000.00 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) that were
previously appropriated for use on the lobby and concourse renovations at the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) and move those dollars to
other Public Events capital projects. Dollars that were previously appropriated to those other capital projects and residual 2017A and 2017B
special tax revenue bond proceeds would in turn be allocated to the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation project.
Prior Actions
On September 27, 2022, the City Council appropriated $7,875,000.00 in ARPA SLFRF for capital projects at the Will Rogers Memorial Center
Coliseum (M&C 22-0789). The original plan had these ARPA funds divided between a renovation of the lobby and concourse ($1.925M) and the
replacement of air handling units ($5.95M) at the coliseum.
Due to rapid cost increases, it was quickly determined that doing both projects would be unfeasible. After soliciting feedback from the venue's
customers, staff proposed consolidating the entirety of the ARPA funding for the customer -facing improvements in the lobby and concourse, and
Council approved that reallocation on February 14, 2023 (M&C 23-0114). That M&C also allocated an additional $625,000.00 from the Public
Events Capital Fund to the project, bringing the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation project appropriation to a total project budget
of $8.5M.
Further Developments
Negotiations are currently underway to place the responsibility for the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation Project with Event
Facilities Fort Worth (EFFW), a not -for -profit organization that has historically partnered with the City on WRMC capital projects, like the renovation
of Cattle Barns 1 &2 and the construction of the Tower Promenade. The goal of an agreement with EFFW would be to bring a higher level of
efficiency to WRMC capital projects, reflecting the City's commitment to maintaining and improving the WRMC complex. The use of Federal funds,
like ARPA, require a level of documentation and process that goes beyond the intent of the proposed agreement with EFFW. In an effort to
maximize the efficiency of the proposed private project management, staff recommends moving the ARPA dollars to City -managed projects and
taking the less -restricted funds that were previously appropriated to those projects and moving them to the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and
Lobby Renovation Project.
The budgeted appropriations for the other identified City -managed projects total $6,743,063.00. Staff proposes taking $6,243,649.73 of that
amount and allocating it to the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation project and the balance of $499,413.27 to receipts, but not
appropriations, in the unspecified project for future programming, appropriation, and use. The remaining need for the WRMC Coliseum
Concourse and Lobby Renovation project after this shift will be $1,631,350.27. Staff proposes augmenting that amount with $560.350.27 in
available residuals from the now -completed venue projects as detailed below.
With approval of the M&C and the attached ordinances as proposed, the remaining funds required for the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby
Renovation project would be $1,071,000.00, and those funds are requested as part of Public Events Department's proposed FY2024 capital
budget.
*NOTE — With the ARPA funds exceeding the previous appropriations for other existing projects, staff is proposing additional funding for four
projects - WRMC roof replacement, Richardson Bass sound system, WRMC emergency generator enhancement, and WRMC stall panel
replacement. Three of these projects (the roof, sound system, and the generator) were previously receiving an allocation of ARPA dollars; so,
these are additional grant funds. The stall panel replacement project and others listed with an asterisk (WRMC escalator replacement, meeting
room chairs, WRMC coliseum transformer, WRMC 2023 facility assessment and FWCC west roof) are receiving their first allocation of ARPA
funds via this M&C. The projects with revised amounts are noted in the chart below.
2017A and B Revenue Bonds (Venue Projects Funds
In 2014, the City Council designated the multipurpose arena at Harley and Gendy, its adjacent support facilities, and related infrastructure as a
venue. On June 6, 2017, M&C G-19020 approved the issuance and sale of 2017A and 2017B special tax revenue bonds that provided funding for
the arena and for improvements to adjacent support facilities throughout the campus of the Will Rogers Memorial Center, including $1,000,000.00
for the Chiller Renovation project, and $2,000,000.00 to the Technology Enhancements project. Those projects have now reached completion and
have a combined total of $560,350.27 in remaining residuals.
Because the entire WRMC campus is part of the venue, using these residuals for the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation project
would be consistent with the approved purposes for which the bonds were originally issued. In approving this M&C, the City Council would be
formally declaring all of the projects under the 2017A and 2017B bonds substantially complete and reprogramming the residuals in furtherance of
the WRMC Coliseum Concourse and Lobby Renovation Project.

Adoption of the attached ordinances adjusts appropriations between projects but does not increase total appropriations in any of the three funds.
Funding is available in the capital projects of the Public Events Capital Fund as approved in connection with Ordinance 25851-11-2022,
Ordinance 25528-05-2022, Ordinance 25528-05-2022, and Ordinance 25773-09-2022 Section 7. page 26 Capital Improvements, and available

Project and Grants Cap Projects Federal Funds and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation
