Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 11/12/24 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 24-0995
LOG NAME: 20FY25 GREEN RIBBON PROGRAM PROJECT APPROPRIATION
SUBJECT
(CD 8) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Provide Funding for the FY25 Green Ribbon Program Project in the Amount of $300,000.00, and
Amend the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (2022 Bond Program)
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the 2022 Bond Program Fund, by increasing appropriations in FY25
Green Ribbon Program project (City Project No. 105831) by $300,000.00 and decreasing appropriations in the Berry Street Capital
Improvements project (City Project No. 104222) by the same amount, for additional project costs; and
2. Amend the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to appropriate funding in the amount of $300,000.00 for the FY25 Green Ribbon
Program project (City Project No. 105831) also known as the HWY 287 and E Berry Street Green Ribbon Project.
The project intends to provide landscape improvements within the US287 Right -of -Way at the intersection with Vaughn/Berry Street. The project is
part of the City's efforts to revitalize landscape areas along roadways. The Green Ribbon Grant improvements will install organic plants and
landscaping materials in the existing islands at E Berry Street/Vaughn Street. The concept of landscape improvements contemplates Texas native
and adaptive shrubs, ornamental grasses, ground cover, and shade and ornamental trees. Hardscape improvements may include hardwood
mulch, river rock mulch, and 12" concrete mow strips to define the planting beds and along the back of the curb for maintenance and safety.
On May 9, 2024, as part of its 2025 Green Ribbon Landscape Program, The Texas Department of Transportation (xDOT) awarded the City
funding in the amount up to $400,000.00 for the construction of landscape improvements on US287 Right -of -Way (Martin Luther King Freeway) at
the intersection with Berry/Vaughn Street. This award is preliminary, pending a signed Advanced Funding Agreement and Landscape
Maintenance Agreement, forwhich the Transportation and Public Works Department (fPW) will seek subsequent approval from City Council to
accept the award and execute the agreements.
The grant requires that the City fund the design contract and any other activities, and the project must be let no later than August 30, 2025. The City
bears the responsibility to pay for cost overruns and, upon completion of the landscape improvements, the City will be responsible for
maintenance, to be memorialized by execution of an amendment to the effective Landscape Maintenance Agreement with TxDOT.
A proposal for landscape design by Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc., not to exceed $93,000.00 is being considered by TPW, in anticipation of
awarding an administrative contract. Project management costs are estimated not to exceed $207,000.00. The project scope is compatible with
the scope of the proposed improvements for the Berry Street corridor (IH35 to US287) which are funded as part of the 2022 Bond Program.
Therefore, staff recommends using $300,000.00 of the Berry Street bond funds for the unfunded scope of work. At the same time, upon receiving
the Berry Street corridor study report, and after funding the early design development activities there will be surplus funding in the Berry Street
project. Staff desires to extend the eastern limit of the project from US287 to Miller Street. Both in-house and external Bond counsel have been
consulted, and counsel concurs that the landscape project and the extended limits of the original corridor project are compatible with the spirit of
the 2022 Berry Street Bond project.

Upon approval of this M&C, this project will be partially funded with 2022 Bond Program funds. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP)
(M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25765-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim
progress payments until the debt is issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source
in accordance with the statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election
(Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding far this projectwas not included in the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because the scope and funding
needs were not identified at the time of CIP development. The actions in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement
Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27107-09-2024.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION 1 CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Berry Street Capital Imps project within the 2022 Bond Program Fund
and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the 2022 Bond
Program Fund for the FY25 Green Ribbon Program project. Prior to expenditures being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department
has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
