FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 6, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR
REQUIRED PAYMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH DFW AIRPORT REVENUE
SHARING AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 569
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of an ordinance appropriating funds for
payments to the City of Dallas and the City of Fort Worth in accordance
with Senate Bill 569 Revenue Sharing Agreement.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval of the attached ordinance, additional funding of $345,494
will be available in the General Fund.
BACKGROUND: In September of 2001, the Texas Legislature enacted SB 569 mandating a
revenue sharing plan for the City of Grapevine and DFW Airport.The
agreement requires the City to share certain revenues generated within
the boundaries of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with
constituent agencies including the City of Dallas and the City of Fort
Worth. When the bill was created, the State Research Center's bill
analysis concluded that the City of Grapevine received approximately $11
million in taxes generated at the airport. The enacted version of S.B 569
set the base year at $5,941,780, and it excluded the I&S portion of the
property tax as well as the Hotel Occupancy Tax. The sum of these two
revenue streams was $4.6 million, which when added to the base year,
equals the Research Center's approximate impact of $11 million.
The amount mandated to be paid is 2/3 of the excess of the base year
amount of $5,941,780 established in Fiscal Year 2000.
Fiscal Year 2018 shared revenues are $7,210,021 exceeding base year
revenue by $1,268,241 resulting in an amount of $845,494 (2/3) due to
the Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. The excess amount will be distributed
to the City of Dallas ($538,042) and the City of Fort Worth ($307,452).
The payments of $845,494 exceeded the 2019 fiscal year budget by
$345,494 necessitating the appropriation ordinance.
