City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION Approved on 2/17/2004 Ordinance No 15878 DATE Tuesday February 17 2004 LOG NAME. 60TRANSFER REFERENCE NO *G-14263 SUBJECT Appropriation Ordinance and Transfer of Impact Fee Revenues to Operating Budget RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water Capital Project Fund in the amount of $4 550 527 and $4 016 663 in the Sewer Capital Project Fund from impact fees and 2. Authorize the transfer of $4 550 527 from the Water Capital Project Fund and $4 016 663 from the Sewer Capital Project Fund to the Water and Sewer Operating Fund DISCUSSION In accordance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code the Water Department began collecting water and wastewater impact fees in 1990 During subsequent retail cost of service studies it was determined that the use of impact fee revenues could be used to lower the amount of surplus reserve funds needed to cover budgeted expenditures. While the impact fee ordinance prohibits the use for operating expenses they can be used to pay principal and interest on debt associated with projects eligible to be funded by impact fees As a result, impact fee revenues have been transferred to the operating budget each year since 1995 By transferring $8 567 190 ($4 550 527 from water impact fee revenues and $4 016 663 from wastewater impact fee revenues) to the Water and Sewer Operating Fund sufficient revenues will be available to pay principal and interest on existing revenue bonds used to fund impact fee eligible projects These impact fee revenues were considered when calculating the amount of debt to be budgeted in the Water and Sewer Operating Fund and transferred monthly to the Debt Service Fund FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated of the Water and Sewer Operating Fund TO Fund/AccountlCenters 1 ) PS58 488343 070580200040 $1.340.961.00 1 ) PS58 538040 070580200040 $1.340.961.00 1 ) PS58 488353 070580200050 $2.675,702.00 1 ) PS58 538040 070580200050 $2.675.702.00 1) PW53 488013 060530200040 $1.635.663.00 Logname: 60TRANSFER FROM Fund/AccountlCenters 2) PW53 538040 060530200040 $1.635,663.00 2) PW53 538040 060530200050 $2,914,864.00 2)PS58 538040 060580200040 2) PS58 538040 060580200040 $1,340.961.00 $2.675.702.00 Page 1 of 2 1) PW53 538040 060530200040 $1.635.663.00 1) PW53 488023 060530200050 $2.914.864.00 1) PW53 538040 060530200050 X2,914,864.00 2 ~PE45 488023 0601000 $4.550.527.00 2) PE45 488353 0701000 $4.016.663.00 Submitted for City Manager's Office bbl: Marc Ott (8476) Originating Department Head.
