General Gas Fund
FY 2021 Operating Position

The City has established three funds to receive revenuesfrom natural gas operations that do not
go to the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation (ATF). The ATF has reached its capped corpus amount
of $100 million; therefore, these three funds receive all lease bonus and royalty revenues
associated with natural gas operations. The policies and procedures concerning expenditures by,
and transfers to and from, the General Gas Fund 3095 are outlined below.

In 2016, a total of $50 million from the ATF corpus was transferred to the Innovation/Venture
Capital Fund to support the development of “Texas Live” adjacent to the new Ballpark for the
Texas Rangers. The ATF corpus will be recapitalized to the $100 million level through future
contributions from the gas funds.

The General Gas Fund receives revenues that are not specifically designated for the Parks or
Airport Gas Funds. Within this fund, a total of four accounting units are available from which
expenditures may be authorized, including:

910102 ‐ Neighborhood Grants, with an amount designated for expenditure
910105 ‐ Redevelopment Initiatives
910106 ‐ Land Banking, with an amount designated for expenditure
910107 ‐ Arlington Home Improvement Incentive Program

Periodically, fiscal conditions may necessitate transfersfrom the General Gas Fund to the
General Fund to offset revenue shortfalls or to cover one‐time costs. All proposed interfund
transfers involving gas funds will require approval by the City Manager's Officer prior to
implementation.
