Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 11/11/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-1034
LOG NAME: 19 WATER DONATIONS 2025
SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Acceptance of Water Customer Donations in the Amount of $7,740.96 to the Neighborhood Services Department and
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize acceptance of monetary donations from City of Fort Worth Water customers in the amount of $7,740.96; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Special Donations LTD Fund in the
amount of $7,740.96 from water customer donations, for the purpose of funding the Neighborhood Services Donations project (City Project
No. S00150).
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Special
Donations LTD Fund (City Project No. S00150) in the amount of $7,740.96 for Fiscal Year 2026.
In January 2005, the City Water Donations Program was established to assist low-income Fort Worth families (income at or below 200 percent
of the Federal Poverty Guidelines), in particular the elderly and disabled, by preventing interruption of their water service and to assist with special
plumbing needs (M&C G-14656, 1 /18/2005). The Water Department utilizes monthly billing statements to collect donations for the program.
Donations can be recurring or a one-time pledge.
Donations are collected by the Water Department and deposited into Neighborhood Services Special Donations LTD Fund. The last time the
Water Department deposited donations into this fund was in 2023 for Fiscal Year 2020 in the amount of $8,716.85.
These funds for Fiscal Year 2026 in the amount of $7,740.96 need to be appropriated so that they can be used to assist Fort Worth families in
need.
Funding is available for appropriation in the Special Donations LTD Fund for the Neighborhood Services Donation project.
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 upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds
will available in the Special Donations LTD Fund for the Neighborhood Services Donation project. Prior to any expense being incurred, the
Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
