DISCUSSION:
The purposes of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) are (1) to authorize the transfer and
appropriation of$1,010,302.42 from the Fiscal Year 2013 Water and Sewer Fund to the Specially Funded
Capital Projects Fund to support the Fort Worth Public Art Program (Public Art)and, subsequently, (2) to
authorize the transfer and appropriation of a portion of said funds totaling an amount up to $222,159.00
from the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund to reimburse the General Fund for
cost associated with the installation of a World Trade Center Artifact (Artifact) at the Fort Worth Museum
of Science and History.
Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2, Section 2-61 of the City Code, adopted as part of City of Fort Worth
Ordinance Number 14794 (Public Art Ordinance), requires that two percent of the annual operating budget
of the Water and Sewer Fund for cash financing of capital projects be allocated to Public Art. The annual
Logname: 60PUBLIC ART TRANSFER 2013 Page 1 of 2
two percent set aside for Fiscal Year 2013 equates to $1,010,302.42 and, upon City Council approval, will
be transferred from the Water and Sewer Fund for Cash-Funded Capital to the Specially Funded Capital
Projects Fund for Public Art.
|n accordance with the Fort Worth Public Art Master Plan (adopted by City Council nn September 3O.
2003, M&C G-14087) and the Long Range Public Art Plan for the Water Fund (adopted by City Council on
May 9, 2006- M&C G-15185), these funds provide for the administration of the Fort Worth Public Art
Program, conservation and maintenance of the Fort Worth Public Art Collection, and new public art
projects as neoomnnended by the Fort Worth Art Commission (Art Commission) in the Fort Worth Public
Art Annual Work Plan and approved by City Council.
On August O. 2O13. the City Council authorized the use ofupk} $222.15&.O0 from the General Fund to
assist the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with the installation of the Artifact to be placed at the
Fort Worth Museum of Science and History inside of the Urban Lantern as a permanent exhibit, free to the
public(M&CG-17AO4). As part of that M&C, staff informed the City Council that it anticipated seeking
future authorization hzreimburse the General Fund from funds that would ordinarily be allocated bzPublic
Art from the above-stated annual two percent set aside and that such action would require a one-time
amendment to the Public Art Ordinance. The Public Art Ordinance encumbers the use of funds dedicated
to Public Art; therefore, an ordinance amendment permitting the one-time transfer of such funds is
necessary tO allow for the reimbursement described herein. |n keeping with its original recommendation
set forth in M&C G-1 7964, staff now requests that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance
amending the Public Art Ordinance to allow for a one-time transfer from the Specially Funded Capital
Projects Fund for Public Art tm the General Fund inan amount upto $222.159.O0b/ reimburse the
General Fund for costs associated with the installation o/the Artifact.
