DISCUSSION The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a resolution authorizing execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (City Secretary Contract No. 53889; CSJ# 0902-00-235 and 0902-00-395) due to increased project construction costs. The City Council approved an AFA with TxDOT in the amount of $5,644,923.00 on February 18, 2020 (M&C 20-0104) for CentrePort Trail Project Phase II which includes the design and construction of a multi -use trail from the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) CentrePort Station to the Grand Prairie city limits at Trinity Boulevard. This project is a part of the Veloweb Trail Network of the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The original AFA includes a 1,030,141 non -spendable Transportation Development Credits (TDC) used for city in -kind match. This TDC was not appropriated in M&C 20-0104. Amendment No. 1 is based on an increased project construction cost estimate for 95 % engineering design. The project site includes many challenging conditions such as steep slopes, existing utility lines, and close vicinity to a major drainage channel, THE railroad infrastructure and Trinity Boulevard. As a result, a pedestrian bridge, security fencing, retaining walls, construction labor security training, traffic control and utility relocations are added into construction cost. An additional TDC in the amount of 636,934 will be used for city in -kind match in addition to the $1,502,925.00 General Fund -Fund Balance Fund. The total project budget is summarized below.

City does not budget Indirect State Costs in grants/projects. The Park & Recreation Department (PARD) project manager, city inspector, city material testing lab will charge salaries to this grant project as incurred. There is no grant application repository number, as the PARD did not apply for this grant. As part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 year-end process, city council authorized the assignment of $56,507,497.00 from the FY 2024 fund balance to address future capital project shortfalls (M&C 25-0003). This assigned amount exceeds the General Fund reserve requirements and is composed of the following sources: $9,472,519.00 from the sale of library property residuals, $14,627,444.00 from capital project shortfalls funded by the remaining assigned fund balance from FY2023, $7,690,534.00 from FY2024 budgetary savings, and $24,717,000.00 from one-time interest earnings. This M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2026 Adopted Budget, as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025. Funding for these projects was not included in the FY2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program due to cost overruns resulting from inflation and rising construction expenses. Approval of this M&C will reduce the Assigned Fund Balance for capital projects as follows: FY2024 Authority Assigned Fund Balance for Capital Fund Balance Set Aside for Capital $47,034,978.00 Project Shortfalls Fund Balance Set Aside for Library $9,472,519.00 Capital Projects Fund Balance Set Aside for $2 939,440.00 Ambulance/MedStar Transition Fund Balance Set Aside for Risk/Fund $5,000,000.00 Deficit Total Assigned Fund Balance for $64,446,937.00 Capital 121SF 4550 2020 VILLAGE M&C 25-0003 APPROPRIATE CREEK FY24GFFB SETTLEMENT M&C ($2,000,000.00) ($3,450,000.00) 80CIQUIO %SQUEZ PARK 80SYCAMORE PARK PHASE II 21DOWNTOWN LIBRARY PHASE I CONSTRUCTION DESIGN BUILD )NSTRUCTION M&C CONTRACT M&C ($1,500,000.00) ($1,000,000.00 ($9,472,519.00) 60CAMP BOWIE 20GFFB MPROVEMENTS APPROPRIATION C0.1 MCCART- BAILEY-HORNE ($285,500.00) ($14,145,000.00) Revised THIS M&C Assigned Fund Balance 1,502,925.00) $23,151,553.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $23,151,553.00 This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
