RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General Fund by
$68,000 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance by the same amount;
and
2 Authorize the transfer of $68,000 from the General Fund to the Culture and Tourism Fund, and
3 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by
$68,000 in the Culture and Tourism Fund/Sister Cities from available funds, and
4 Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract amendment with Fort Worth Sister Cities
International to increase the amount paid to Fort Worth Sister Cities International by $68,000 for the
increased level of services rendered to the City
DISCUSSION
Because the City of Fort Worth is a primary user of Fort Worth Sister Cities international (FWSCI)
programs and services, it is recommended that the City increase its support of that organization to
ensure the continuation of current high service levels and quality
Fort Worth Sister Cities International's purpose is, "to cultivate successful relationships and
international understanding among the youth, adults, businesses and organizations of Fort Worth and
its Sister Cities through educational, leadership and exchange programs " The expectation is that the
established Sister Cities relationships promote local tourism and the convention and hotel industries
In promotion of that goal, Sister Cities programs and services have expanded to include six City of Fort
Worth Sister Cities relationships. The programs and services FWSCI provides have increased during
the past few years At the same time, other Sister Cities International revenues have not increased
sufficiently to cover the increased expenses. Consequently, there is a need for the City to increase its
contractual volume of work with, and funding for, FWSCI to ensure continued high service levels and
quality
