Adopt the attached ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Culture and Tourism Fund in the amount of$3,085,600.00 and decreasing the unassigned fund balance by the same amount for purposes of making a transfer to the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund; 2. Authorize the transfer of$3,085,600.00 from the Culture and Tourism Fund to the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund to make funds available in support of the Multi-Purpose Arena Project; 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$3,085,600.00, from available funds, for the Multi-Purpose Arena Project; 4. Authorize the transfer of$1,178,194.00 in previously appropriated funds from the Culture and Tourism Legacy Capital Projects Fund to the Culture and Tourism Debt Service Fund for the purpose of paying a portion of the Fiscal Year 2016 debt in accordance with the adopted Fiscal Year 2016 budget. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to allocate funds in accordance with the adopted preliminary funding plan for the Venue Project that includes the Multi-Purpose Arena adjacent to the Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) (Resolution No. 4498-08-2015) and to complete other related fund clean-up. The funding plan anticipated initial funding and on-going contributions for the Arena. This M&C is the counterpoint to one adopted on September 29, 2015 (M&C G-18578). In that M&C, the City Council authorized initial transfers and allocations of funds in the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund, totaling $9,113,650.00, in support of the Multi-Purpose Arena Project. A substantial portion of the funding that was available for transfer in the September M&C resulted from the surplus funds from a past sale of Certificates of Obligation (COs) being reprogrammed to cover costs that were initially budgeted from other funding sources, thereby freeing up those original funding sources for use on the Arena Project. As noted in M&C G-18578, a total of approximately $7.7 million in CO surplus was originally identified. Approval of this M&C would authorize the transfer of the last $1,178,194.00 in Logname: 25TRANSFER FUNDS FY2016 Page 1 of 2 CO surplus to the Culture and Tourism Debt Service Funds to make a portion of the Culture and Tourism debt service payments during FY2016 in accordance with this year's adopted budget (Recommendation 4). Once this transfer has been completed, Staff will be able to close the Culture and Tourism Legacy Capital Projects Fund. The remaining recommendations in this M&C would appropriate and transfer$3,085,600.00 in surplus fund balance from the Culture and Tourism Fund (operating fund) to the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund for use on the Arena Project. With the allocation of these dollars, appropriated funds in the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund available for the Arena Project will total $12,199,250.62, consistent with the funding plan in the Resolution. The other FY2016 action noted in the funding plan is a transfer of$1.3 million. That transfer was included in the adopted FY2016 budget and no further City Council action will be required for that money to be moved. The Multi-Purpose Arena Project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7, but will serve Fort Worth residents in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS, FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available in the current capital projects budget, as appropriated of the Culture and Tourism Capital Projects Fund.
