FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 21, 2020
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAPEVINE, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE REIMBURSEMENT OF
EXPENDITURES TO BE INCURRED FROM FUTURE DEBT
ISSUANCES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider adopting a reimbursement resolution in the
amount of $4,900,000 so the City will have the option of reimbursing itself
through a future certificate of obligations debt issuance.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval of the attached reimbursement resolution, funds in an
estimated amount of $4,900,000 will be available in the Capital Projects
Fund.
BACKGROUND: On February 24, 2020, City Council completed a workshop relative to
Capital Planning relative to streets and related infrastructure. During that
meeting, staff presented a series of projects that focused primarily on
enhancing the City's street maintenance program, signals, markings and
signs.
This action will allow for: 1) staff to begin letting contracts for that work
and 2) reimbursement resulting in this summer's planned debt issuance.
Therefore, staff is seeking the approval of the attached reimbursement
resolution expressing intent to finance expenditures to be incurred for
paving, designing, engineering, constructing, reconstructing and
renovating streets, roadways and projects as required in the City.
Staff recommends approval
