BACKGROUND FOR CLEAN LAKES GRANT
The transfer of $201 607 06 from the Water and Sewer operating Fund to the Clean Lakes Grant Fund is
required due to the recent discovery of a shortfall in the Clean Lakes Grant Fund balance In 1996 the Fort
Worth Water Department let a contract for the installation of aloes-pressure sewer system along the north
shore of Lake Worth This project was part of a $3 400 000 Clean Lake Phase II grant program designed
to improve water quality at Lake Worth This program was partially funded by the Texas Water
Commission with Fort Worth committing to $1 700 000 in cash and in kind contributions and the Texas
Water Commission providing $1 700 000 in matching funds
A series of delays was experienced in the phase of the program that included the installation of a low-
pressure sewer system to replace septic systems along the north shore of Lake Worth This resulted in the
grant funding period running out before the project was completed And as a result, the Texas Water
Commission only paid $1 489 564 95 of the original $1 700 000 that was committed for the Clean Lakes
Phase II project. During a recent audit of the Clean Lakes Grant account, the Finance Department found
that there was a short fall in revenues of $201 607 06 The proposed fund transfer will clear this shortfall
and final out this account.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval and completion of the above recommendations and the
adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinances funds will be available in the current
