Page 156 - Fort Worth City Budget 2019

General Fund

The FY2019 Adopted Budget decreases by $127K in total revenue due to the elimination of the Taxicab Driver
License permit fee by ordinance change and the re-classification of TPW capital projects revenue account from
the General Fund to the Capital Projects Service Fund.

The FY2019 Adopted Budget increases by $1.2M due to an increase in salaries and benefits driven by competitive
talent acquisition conditions. The department is compelled to match the current job market which has a tight
demand and supply of professional and technical skilled candidates.

The FY2019 Adopted Budget increases the Transfers Out to Capital projects by $2.5M funded by pay-as-you-go
cash allowing for the implementation of projects related to the city’s aging and undersized infrastructure and
other expansions driven by the rapid growth and development in the city.

HORIZON ISSUES

With the pace of development occurring in the region at this time, we are seeing constraints in our supply chain
for construction related materials and activities driving price increases for both labor and construction materials.

With the launch of the citizen facing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) mobile application, we are
anticipating a much higher volume of service requests than we are currently receiving through the city Call Center.

The implementation of the asset management system’s advanced modules will greatly increase the capabilities of
our asset management program for the transportation network by providing greater decision making for effective
maintenance management practices.
