SUBJECT
Authorize Transfer of Funds and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Fund Multiple Storm Water Utility
Capital Projects
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the transfer of $575 000 from the Storm Water Fund to the Storm Water Capital Projects Fund
and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $575 000
DISCUSSION
The Storm Water Management Program was established to prevent flooding in Fort Worth preserve
streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to fully
comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by constructing
infrastructure improvements and system maintenance, master planning enhanced development review
and increased public education and outreach
The Engineering Department is performing project management services for Storm Water capital projects
and is currently negotiating with consultants to provide engineering services Frequently consultants must
conduct studies to develop the work scope for engineering design In some instances studies or designs
will be limited in scope and the design engineers fees will be less than $25 000 It is anticipated that 15 to
20 projects with minimal engineering fees for initial phases will be implemented in FY2006-07 and in
aggregate are projected to cost approximately $575 000
Since the City Council has elected to delegate responsibility for approving purchases under $25 000 to the
City Manager the engineering contracts will not come before Council In addition to the cost of the
engineering services contracts, the Engineering Department will be performing work and incurring expenses
associated with these contracts Council authorization is requested to transfer funds, included in the
FY2006-07 adopted budget, from the Storm Water Operating Fund to the Storm Water Capital Projects
Fund to support the consultants contracts and the Engineering Department project planning contract
negotiation and management fees. The availability of the funds appropriated through this action will enable
the projects to proceed immediately upon contract execution thus expediting implementation of the
projects.
