Suspend the Financial Management Policy Statements that require an interfund loan to be repaid within five years ; · 2 . Authorize an interest-bearing lnterfund Loan Agreement from the Aviation Endowment Gas Lease Fund to the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $10 ,400 ,000 .00 for interim financing of i mprovements to North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road between Golden Triangle Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway , pending contract execution ; and 3 . Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $10 ,400 ,000.00 . DISCUSSION: Due to increased development along North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road and North Tarrant Parkway, traffic congestion has increased and safety has become a concern . To help alleviate this problem , the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Seven (TIF 7) Board of D irectors approved funding for improvements to North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road between Heritage Trace Parkway and Dalton Street on April 30 , 2010 . On September 14 , 2010 , the City's Housing and Econom ic Development Committee recommended supporting additional improvements to North Riverside Drive in-li ne with the community's priorities. In response to the Committee's recommendations , on September 30 , 2010 , the TIF 7 Board of D irectors approved the execution of a Development Agreement with the C ity of Fort Worth for the widening of North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road between Heritage Trace Parkway and Golden Triangle Boulevard (City Contract No . 41452 -Phase II), with the project to be financed through an lnterfund Loan Agreement between the Aviation and Transportation and Public Works Departments . As design progressed , it became clear that the road improvement project wou ld come in under budget. Therefore , the TIF 7 Board of D irectors approved Amendment No . 1 to the Development Agreement on June 25 , 2012 to expand the defin ition of "Project" to include design and construction costs to improve North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road between Golden Triang le Boulevard to North Tarrant Parkway . http ://ap p s .cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc _review.asp?ID= 17 123&councildate=7/24 /2012 ~ 8/14 /20 12 M&C ·Re view . . • lnterlund Loan Agreement Terms Once approved by City Council , the lnterfund Loan Agreement between the Transportation and Public Works and Aviation Departments will authorize the Aviation Department to loan $10,400 ,000.00 needed for road improvements to North Riverside Drive/Old Denton Road in accordance with the Revenue and Expenditure Policies for Gas Lease Revenues as outlined in the City's Financial Management Policy Statements (FMPS) and in accordance w ith the Federal Aviation Administration's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue. Pursuant to the FMPS , loan repayment must be from an independent revenue source and not from the City's General Fund . In this case , the loan will be reimbursed by increment collected in the TIF 7 district. It is estimated that the TIF 7 district would re-pay the loan in annual payments , includ ing interest , within seven years. Interest rate per annum will be equal to the interest rate on 10-year United States Treasury Notes in effect on the date of approval by City Council , currently estimated at 1.66 percent plus one percent. As this seven-year period is longer than the five-year payback policy outlined in the City's FMPS , approval of the lnterfund Loan Agreement will require suspension of the FMPS policy to re-pay the loan within five years . There is no penalty for repaying the loan within a shorter timeframe . FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Di rector certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance , funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated , of the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund .
