SUBJECT: (CD 5, CD 8, and CD 9) Authorize Allocation of Funds from the American Rescue Plan Act
in the Aggregate Amount of $10,100,000.00 to Child Care Associates for the Expansion of
Early Childhood Learning Centers in the Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Initiative Hub and
Gwendolyn C. Gragg Child Development Center, to the Housing Authority for the City of
Fort Worth, Texas Doing Business as Fort Worth Housing Solutions for the Design and
Construction of Underground Power Lines and the Removal of Power Poles in

Business as Trinity Habitat for Humanity for the Purchase, Replat, Design, and
Development of Fourteen Single -Family Lots in the Vicinity of John Peter Smith Hospital,
Authorize Execution of Related Contract Documents, and Find that the Expenditures
Serve Public Purposes and that Adequate Controls are in Place
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize allocation of $10,100,000.00 of American Rescue Plan Act Funds, Subtitle M (Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) to the agencies listed in Tables 1 and 2 below;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contracts with the agencies listed in Tables 1 and 2
below;
3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend contract as necessary for completion of the project
provided any amendment is within the scope of the project and complies with City policies and all applicable
laws and regulations governing the use of federal grant funds; and
4. Find that the expenditures serve the listed public purposes and that the contracts provide adequate controls to
ensure the public purposes are fulfilled.
DISCUSSION:
In March 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), providing aid and relief to various sectors
of the national economy. The City of Fort Worth will receive a total allocation of ARPA funds in an amount exceeding
$173.7 million, to be disbursed in two batches or "tranches." The first tranche was received May 19, 2021, and the
second tranche is expected to be received on or after May 19, 2022. Subsequently, on June 22, 2021, the City Council
approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 21-0445, establishing a general framework for the use of ARPA
funds. Funding must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and fully expended by December 31, 2026.
Allocation of ARPA Subtitle M Funding
Responding to the negative economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic is a specifically identified use of ARPA dollars
under Section 603(c)(1)(A) of Title VI of the Social Security Act (added by ARPA). Treasury Department guidance
specifically notes that these Fiscal Recovery Funds can be deployed for a broad range of uses to address "the
disproportionate....economic impacts of the crisis on the hardest -hit communities, populations, and households" and to
provide services and additional investments in Qualified Census Tracts, such as the ones in which the identified projects
are located. Therefore, it has been determined that paying for the listed activities in order to improve access to quality,
affordable housing and child care services are eligible uses of funds as a response to negative economic impact and an
investment in housing and neighborhoods in a Qualified Census Tract.
Several local agencies submitted proposals for affordable housing and human services projects totaling $31.4 million.
City staff has reviewed these proposals with respect to financial feasibility, community need, and eligibility under ARPA
Section 9901, Subsections 603(c)(1)(A) and 603(c)(1)(C), providing funding to aid disproportionately impacted
communities and to support governmental services adversely impacted by the pandemic. As a result, City
staff recommends that we allocate funding to seven projects as follows.

By approval of this M&C, the City Council finds that the expenditure of the funds on the listed projects serve vital public
purposes for residents of Fort Worth and that the contracts executed between the parties will provide adequate controls
to ensure the public purposes are fulfilled. Specifically, funds provided to Fort Worth Housing Solutions and Trinity
Habitat for Humanity serve the public purpose of supporting the provision of quality, affordable housing in the City that
meets all required zoning, codes, and infrastructure requirements. Additionally, the funds provided to Child Care
Associates will provide needed child care services and programming to residents in need of such critical services.
Approval of this M&C will allocate $10,100,000.00 in the American Rescue Plan Act project in the Grants Operating
Federal Fund budget. Necessary reporting and documentation requirements will be followed to ensure the City can
comply with all reporting requirements of the ARPA legislation.

(CD 5) Authorize Reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds Up to $629,070.00 to Support Construction of Child Care Associate's
Early Childhood Learning Facility in the Stop Six Neighborhood
r,,,t ��Thruh,
FORT II
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act Funds,
Subtitle M (Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) in an amount Up to $629,070.00 to
support development and construction of Child Care Associate's Early Childhood Learning Facility in
the Stop Six neighborhood.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize reallocation of $629,070.00 of American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) funds to support
unforeseen but necessary development and construction costs creating a financing gap for the Child
Care Associate (CCA) Early Childhood Learning Facility in the Stop Six Neighborhood (the "Project").
The City of Fort Worth received ARPA SLFRF in an amount exceeding $173.7 million, consisting of
$87,024,408.00 to be spent in the areas of Public Health and Negative Economic Impacts (Non -
Revenue Recovery), and $86,720,682.00 to assist the City of Fort Worth (City) with the provision of
governmental services (Revenue Recovery).
Per U.S. Treasury requirements, the full amount was allocated to ARPA eligible initiatives established
in M&C 21-0445 on June 22, 2021, and contracts were executed to obligate funds by the established
deadline of December 31, 2024. Current Treasury guidelines allow identified ARPA residual revenue
to be reallocated to established ARPA projects to cover shortfalls in funding as a result of unforeseen
but necessary expenditures.
Originally planned as part of the community center "hub," this Project was initially allocated
$5,000,000.00 in Non -Revenue RecoveryARPAfunding on October 19, 2021, by M&C 21-0814 as a
way of improving access to quality affordable child care services in a qualified census tract, which was
identified as a means of responding to the negative economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic
(Section 603(c)(1)(A) of Title VI of the Social Security Act (added by ARPA) and Treasury Department
guidance).
Due to space limitations and competing demands at the hub, a stand-alone facility was pursued, an
option supported by then -Councilwoman Bivens. Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) identified two
parcels in the vicinity as a possible site for the Project. While FWHS initially expected to provide the
land at a minimal cost, CCA ultimately had to pay over $450,000.00 for the lots. Although the site lacks
utilities and infrastructure, the CCA Foundation Board authorized the land purchase at an increased
price to keep the Project on track. Zoning and City Council approvals are complete, and the Project is
scheduled for completion by December 2026.
CCA received infrastructure bids totaling approximately $1,900,000.00, much higher than anticipated,
due to soil preparation and water retention requirements. These costs now account for nearly a third of
the project budget and have created a projected shortfall of $1,500,000.00.
The Financial Management Services Department (FMS), in coordination with department project
managers, has identified residual ARPA Non -Revenue Recovery funds in the following completed or

DISCUSSION:

9/30/25, 9:27 AM M&C Review
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to amend M&C 25-0003 to correct
the source of the $5,000,000.00 appropriations appropriation in the Risk Financing Fund
(Recommendation 5) s as being Fiscal Year 2024 assigned fund balance rather than interest earnings
and to enact budget adjustments to reallocate resources and appropriate unrestricted interest earnings
to provide funding for one-time special projects and other capital needs.
Allocation of Unrestricted Interest - Department Additional Appropriations
This M&C proposes utilizing $27,623,122.00 in unrestricted interest earnings for a variety of projects
and uses as detailed below.
GENERAL FUND
Cowgirl Hall of Fame contribution: $6,500,000.00
Reason: City Council previously adopted a resolution to support the Cowgirl Museum's expansion
project to preserve and promote the City's diverse history and culture through the City's high -quality
museums.
Contribution to Fund Balance: $14,023,122.00
Reason: To the extent the unrestricted interest earnings are not specifically allocated and appropriated
elsewhere in this M&C, staff recommends those dollars (estimated to be $14,023,122.00) be allocated
to reduce budgeted use of fund balance in the General Fund, thereby increasing the unassigned fund
balance. This action supports ongoing efforts to maintain structurally sound reserves and ensure fund
balance growth remains proportionate to anticipated expenditure growth in the proposed FY2026
budget. The allocation also supports the City's financial resiliency and strengthens its position with
credit rating agencies.
OTHER FUNDS
Group Health Fund: $3,100,00.00
Reason: Staff recommends allocating $3.1 million of current -year interest earnings to support the
Health Fund's financial restoration plan. This contribution is aligned with the goal of restoring the fund
to compliance with its minimum reserve requirements. The allocation provides targeted, near -term
relief to strengthen the fund's long-term sustainability and ensure continued financial stability for the
City's self -insured health plan.
General Capital Projects- General Panther Island Bridges Phase 1 (Project 106351): $3,129,070.00
Reason: Funds will be used toward professional services, project management, inspection, material
testing, and local participation direct costs of bridge projects that will serve as crossings for the Tarrant
Regional Water District (TRWD) phased construction of the Panther Island canals. The local
participation represents the City of Fort Worth's match to the contributions from multiple regional
partners, such as the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT), to this initiative.
Grants Operating Federal- Childcare Associates Early Learning Center: $870,930.00
Reason: Funds will be used to help cover a shortfall in the development of a new Early Learning
Center to expand access to infant, toddler, and three -year -old services in the Stop Six neighborhood.
M&C 25-0780, which passed on 8/26, reallocated approximately $690,000.00 of additional funds for
this Childcare Associates project in the Stop Six neighborhood, for a total additional allocation of $1.5
million.

Recognition of Interest Earnings
The City generates investment income by prudently investing idle cash from operations, "pay as you
go" capital funds, and bond funds in compliance with state law and City policy.
The existing practice, in compliance with the current Revenue Policy, is to allocate investment income
from governmental funds, derived from resources other than bond or debt proceeds, either in the
City's General Debt Service Fund or in the General Fund (to one-time capital projects or contributing
to unassigned fund balance )as recommended by the City Manager.
The latest FY 2025 analysis has identified $27,623,122.00 of urnestricted and unpledged surplus
interest and investment income. Staff recommends for City Council to authorize the recognition of this
unpledged and unencumbered investment income in the General Fund rather than the Debt Service
Fund in FY 2025, so that such funds can be used to fund one-time initiatives and/or capital projects as
detailed herein. Recommendation 2 of this M&C assigns this amount for such one-time projects.
Going forward, staff will monitor collection of investment income from general government operations
to identify any surplus that can be used for other lawful purposes. Given the variable nature of
investment income, any surplus will generally be prioritized to fund one-time initiatives, capital
projects, or to accumulate cash which can be used to pay off debt prior to maturity to achieve debt
service savings.
This action does not encompass income derived from the investment of debt proceeds, which
continues to be allocated to the appropriate Debt Service Fund in accordance with legal and policy
requirements. Nor does it include investment earnings attributable to purpose -restricted funds such as
Water & Sewer, Stormwater, Crime Control Prevention District, etc. or to funds that are subject to other
legal or policy constraints. Those funds will continue to receive their appropriate allocation of
investment income.
