535,300 in the General Fund and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated fund balance
of the General Fund by the same amount, and

DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth has received two operating grants from the Office of Economic
Adjustment to fund the City's efforts to diversify its economy and to be less defense dependent
During the second grant, the project was restructured and given a new name, Strategy 2000
The concept of Strategy 2000 was to have an independent board of directors which would
contract with the City for the OEA funds and to raise additional funds from the private sector
A director was hired at a salary higher than allowed by the grant with the intent that under his
leadership Strategy 2000 would become independent and private funds would make up the
difference in the salary cost
Strategy 2000 has not become independent and only 510,000 has been contributed from the
private sector Another employee, whose salary was within the grant guidelines, was paid
terminal leave upon her departure in accordance with the City's personnel policy and caused her
annual rate of pay to be above the grant limit
The salary of the project's first director and the terminal pay for the other employee caused the
grant account to be over spent by 545,300 in salary expenses The City received a contribution
of 510,000 to help offset the deficit in the grant account Strategy 2000 needs 535,300 to
