Once that base level is properly reset, staff will then be able to undertake adjustments among funding sources as recently authorized by M&C 25-
0612 in order to expend expiring Transportation Impact Fees and continue moving the ECFA project toward closure.
M&C 25-0612 recently approved actions to add $1,016,208.50 in legacy Transportation Impact Fee revenues to the American Airlines ECFA
Project in order to free up existing funding sources for other capital projects.
American Airlines is one of the largest employers in the City of Fort Worth, and its development of a new headquarters within the City was
understandably viewed as a boon to the local economy. The City undertook multiple efforts to incentivize and facilitate development of the new
headquarters, including authorizing and providing two million dollars towards the ECFA for infrastructure supporting the project (see, for example,
M&Cs G-18605, G-190918, C-27526, C-28730, C-28898, C-29166, 22-0735). While the construction work is now complete and the
headquarters opened for use in 2020, the ECFA project still remains open on the City's books.
The project is complete and the total amount of City dollars has been clearly authorized; however staff recommends that Council adopt the first
attached ordinance to ratify the appropriation of existing funding where it currently sits as the most expeditious way to set the base level for
finalizing the project and preparing it for closure.
This M&C also includes appropriation of funds in the amount of $1,042,623.00 to meet the City's required match obligation for the project.
The City's match portion of the grant will come from the 2007 Critical Capital Projects Fund, the 2014 Bond Program Fund, the Transportation
Impact Fee Capital Legacy Fund, and the Transportation Impact Fee Capital Fund. The funding is shown in the following table:

If this M&C is approved and the attached appropriation ordinances adopted, then staff will be able to complete the impact -fee swap authorized by
M&C 25-0612 and continue its efforts to move the ECFA project toward being dosed out.
