annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. The actions in the
Mayor & Council Communication will appropriate funds in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital
Improvement Program, as follows:
