DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the City's local participation in the Advanced Funding Agreement
(AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (City Secretary Contract No. 58480; CSJ # 0014-01-026, M&C 22-0533) and the
transfer of AFA related expenditures for the Heritage Park; Bus 287 to Weatherford project (City Project No. 104146). The AFA is in the amount of
$10,127,631.00 and provides for a local match in the amount of $1,775,000 of which $1,000,000.00 has been provided by Tarrant County and City
participation in the amount of $775,000.00. Other expenditures to be transferred include $229,261.66 from the Heritage Park project (City project
No. CO2471) to the Heritage Park; Bus 287 to Weatherford project (City Project No. 104146). These expenditures are related to the Advanced
Funding Agreement and include City staff charges and consultant design charges.
The City and Tarrant County have entered into an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) (City Secretary Contract No. 62395, M&C 24-0813) for a total funding
amount of $2,000,000.00 for the project.
The Heritage Park; BUS 287 to Weatherford Street project includes elements for enhancing the safety of pedestrian and vehicular movements.
Improved pedestrian safety will be in the form of "bulb -outs" at the four intersections surrounding the Tarrant County Courthouse and at the
intersection of Throckmorton and Belknap Street. Vehicular movement improvements will include installation of new traffic signals and
roadway/lane alignments, removal of the bus counterflow lane on West Belknap Street and adjusting the geometry of Commerce Street and
Houston Street adjacent to Paddock Park. New concrete pavement will be constructed on Belknap Street between Commerce Street and Houston
Street.
This Heritage Park; BUS 287 to Weatherford Street project is integral to the future success of the overall project to revitalize and improve the
adjacent Heritage Park, which includes Heritage Plaza, and Paddock Park. Heritage Park and Paddock Park are located on the northern edge of
the Trinity River bluff along and overlooking the Trinity River. Improvements to the two parks and North Main Street are a key linkage opportunity to
the river that will complete a vision 50 years in the making.
Funding for the project includes local City funds, County funds, Federal funds, and State funds. The City bears the responsibility to pay for cost
overruns. The table below summarizes funding for the project:

Funding for this project was not included in the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program due to the addition of the grant dollars after the
inception of the project which changed the budget needs. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 27107-09-2024.
Funding is budgeted in the 2014 Bond Program Fund and 2022 Bond Program Fund within the Park and Recreation Department, for the purpose
of funding the Heritage Park; Bus 287 to Weatherford project within Transportation and Public Works Department.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim progress payments until 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).
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
