BUBJECT ADOPTION OF APPROPRIATIONS ORDINANCE AND AUTNOREZATION TO
TRANSFER GRANT OF PRIVILEGE REVENUE FROM THE SOLID WASTE FUND TO
THE GENERAL FUND FUR THE PURPOSE OF FUNDING STREET MAINTENANCE
RECUMMENDATIUN:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations and decreasing retained
earnings in the Solid Waste Fund in the amount of $1,270,614; and
2. Approve a transfer from the Solid Waste Fund to the General Fund in the amount of $1,270,610 for

DISCUSSION:
On August 25, 1998, City Council approved M&C G-12311, thereby adopting an ordinance requiring
commercial waste haulers to apply for and execute non-exclusive privilege agreements with the City of
Fort Worth in order to collect and transport municipal solid waste within the City. Under these grants of
privilege, commercial waste haulers are required to pay 5°lo Of the gross revenues generated from their
municipal solid waste collection operations within the City. The 6°lo fee relates to the impact of vehicles
used for solid waste collection on City streets and the costs of administering the program.
The cost of maintaining City streets is centralized in the General Fund. Therefore, City staff
recommends the transfer of grant of privilege revenue from the Solid Waste Fund to the General Fund.
The transfer process will continue in subsequent fiscal years, provided that grant of privilege revenue
continues to be collected in the Solid Waste Fund.
Based on quarterly payments received, the Solid Waste Division of the Department of Environmental
Management projects a total of $1,270,610 to be received from commercial waste haulers in FY2002-2003.
The City's Budget Office concurs with this projection.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget as appropriated of the Solid
Waste Fund.
