Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $893,233.00, from available funds, for the purpose of funding the Meacham Administration Building Programmable project (City Project No. P00141); 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $156,767.00, from available Gas Lease Royalties for the purpose of funding the Meacham Administration Building Programmable project (City Project No. P00141); and 3. Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to request City Council approval for the Aviation Department to appropriate $893,233.00 in the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund, and appropriate $156,767.00 in the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund for the Meacham Administration Building programmable project (Project) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport) for a total combined amount of $1,050,000.00. Funding moved in the amount of $156,767.00 from the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund, and $93,233.00 from the Aviation Municipal Airports Capital Projects Fund will be used to provide the initial funding budget of $250,000.00 for the Meacham Administration Building programmable project in support of the Municipal Airport's Capital Improvement Plan. These funds were initially appropriated to the Meacham Maintenance programmable project (City Project P00112) in both current and prior fiscal year budget ordinances. However, to clearly distinguish responsibilities between Field Maintenance Operations and Aviation Real Property for the Aviation Administration Building at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, the funding was subsequently reallocated to the Unspecified — All Funds programmable project for future use and then designated for the Meacham Administration Building programmable project (City Project No. P00141). Funds in this project will be used to provide continued maintenance of the Aviation Administration Building, keeping it operational while maintaining a safe environment for Airport Administration Building visitors, tenants, and City of Fort Worth Staff. Funding moved in the amount of $800,000.00 from Municipal Airports Capital Projects Fund, to be set aside for the future replacement of the electrochromic glass that was used to construct the Aviation Administration Building at the Airport in 2016, which is now failing. Electrochromic glass is a smart glass system that can be electronically tinted on demand. The current failing system is causing discoloration and inconsistent window tint throughout the building. The vendor for the electrochromic window system is unable to support replacement of failing windows due to the shutdown of production in the United States in preparation of moving its operations overseas. The Aviation Department is preparing to solicit bids for the new glass. In advance of the replacement work, a new child project will be established, and available funds will be transferred into the project as part of the overall project funding structure. Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) due to project parameters not finalized until Fiscal Year 2026. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2026-2030 CIP as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09- 2025. Funding is budgeted in the Unspecified — All Funds project within the Transfer from Airport account in the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund, and in the Gas Lease Royalties account within the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding the Meacham Administration Building programmable project. Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2. 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 Municipal Airport Capital Proj Fund and in the Unspecified - All Funds project within the Aviation Gas Lease Cap Proj Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Municipal Airport Capital Proj Fund and in the Aviation Gas Lease Cap Proj Fund for the Meacham Administration Building programmable project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Aviation Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
