Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 06/09/26 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 26-0469
LOG NAME: 21 DOWNTOWN LIBRARY PURCHASE PROJECT CLOSURE
SUBJECT
(CD 9) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Adjusting Receipts and Appropriations in the General Capital Projects Funds in the Amount of
$114,175.92 to Transfer Residual Funds to Unspecified - All Funds for the Purpose of Closing the Central Library Purchase Project, and Amend
the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt attached appropriation ordinance adjusting estimated receipts and appropriations in the General Capital Projects Fund, by
decreasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Central Library Purchase project (City Project No. 104599) in the amount
of $114,175.92 and increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Unspecified - All Funds project (City Project No. UNSPEC) by
the same amount; and
2. Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to decrease the receipts and appropriations in the Central Library Puchase
project by transferring all remaining funding to Unspecified - All Funds project in order to close out the project.
On August 13th, 2024 (M&C 24-0690) Fort Worth City Council authorized the acquisition of the Center for Transforming Lives building for the
purpose of reutilizing the building for the New Downtown Library location. The M&C authorized the purchase of the building along with the payment
of all the closing costs and a leaseback option. The acquisition incurred less costs than expected, therefore staff recommends moving the residual
funds from the purchase of the building to the Unspecified - All Funds project to be appropriated at a later time.
The table below summarizes the funding changes for the Central Library Purchase project:
