Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 12/09/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-1148
LOG NAME: 20STORMWATER REV BONDS 2020
SUBJECT
(CD 9) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in Stormwater Revenue Bonds 2020 Fund in the
Amount of $822,378.00, for the Purpose of Funding the Fort Worth Zoo Drainage Improvements Project and Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-
2030 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Stormwater Revenue Bonds 2020
Fund, in the amount of $822,378.00, from available Proceeds Drainage Revenue Ref 2020 funds within Unspecified - All Funds project (City
Project No. UNSPEC), for the purpose of funding the Fort Worth Zoo Drainage Improvements project (City Project No. CO2447); and
2. Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will adopt an appropriation ordinance for the purpose of replacing existing Stormwater
Capital PAYGo funds in the Fort Worth (FW) Zoo Drainage Improvements project (City Project No. CO2447) with Stormwater Revenue Bonds
2020 funds. The Stormwater Revenue Bonds 2020 funding is available for re -appropriation due to several projects being completed under budget,
thus bringing about the need to reallocate the remaining bond funds.
Due to the priority to fully spend out the remaining 2020 Revenue Bond funds, the Fiscal Years (FY) 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program will
be amended to reflect the replacement of Stormwater PAYGo Funds with Stormwater Revenue Bonds 2020 funds for the FW Zoo Drainage
Improvements project. The project was substantially completed in October 2021 and is currently in closeout. The FW Zoo Drainage Improvement
project involved the construction of a wall to mitigate flooding and erosion in the Fort Worth Zoo, and also allow for the future construction and
mitigation of upstream drainage improvements to reduce flood risk in the Berry/McCart area.
Upon the adoption of this appropriation ordinance, eligible expenses in the amount of $822,378.00 will be funded with Stormwater Revenue Bonds
2020 funds and residual funding in the same amount within the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund will be transferred and reprogrammed to other
high priority stormwater projects.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified - All Funds project within the Stormwater Rev Bonds 2020
Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
Stormwater Rev Bonds 2020 Fund for the FW Zoo Drainage Improvements project to support the above recommendations. Prior to any
expenditure being incurred, the Transportation and Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
