Exhibit 4 - CapitalEdge OverviewExhibit 4 CapitalEdge, LLC 2018-2020 Overview Formula Grants The 2011 budget agreement imposed tight discretionary spending caps that led to major cuts in most for local government grant programs. The City fought hard to reverse those cuts even as the President’s budget repeatedly call for further cuts, consolidation of some programs into state block grants, or the elimination of some programs.

Exhibit 4 The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act of 2015 (FAST Act) changed the name of the program to STBG, grew the STBG program, and incrementally increased the local share from 50 percent in FY 2015 to 55 percent in FY 2020. In addition, as part of a bipartisan agreement to infuse additional funding into infrastructure in FY 2018 and FY 2019, Congress appropriated additional funds for federal-aid highways. • As a result of local government advocacy, including Denton, those additional highway funds were allocated via STBG, including sub-allocation to metropolitan planning organizations. The cumulative result of these policies was a 49 percent increase in STBG funding to the Denton- Lewisville Urbanized Area. The House-passed surface transportation reauthorization bill (HR 2) would increase the MPO share of STBG to 60 percent; CapitalEdge advocated strongly for this increase and for other local friendly policies in the bill, such as an increase in funding for the Transportation Alternatives Program. $6,412,181 $6,657,944 $7,467,270 $9,053,414 $7,639,535 $1,413,879 $9,574,083 $7,653,571 $1,920,512 $8,896,270 $8,314,880 $581,390 $0 $2,000,000 $4,000,000 $6,000,000 $8,000,000 $10,000,000 $12,000,000 FY 2015FY 2016FY 2017FY 2018 Total FY 2018 Base FY 2018 Extra FY 2019 Total FY 2019 Base FY 2019 Extra FY 2020 Total FY 2020 Base FY 2020 Extra Denton-Lewisville Urbanized Area STBG Allocations Exhibit 4 Contract Tower Program The City’s delegation has become strong supporters of the Contract Tower Program and oppose FAA proposals to cut back or eliminate the program. It would cost the City over $1 million annually to staff the tower in the absence of the Contract Tower Program. CARES Act The City advocated for funding to local governments and their partners to address the public health, fiscal, and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided over $2.2 trillion in relief funding, including supplemental funding for a wide array of programs, including CDBG, HOME, ESG, and Byrne JAG. Although the CARES Act $150 billion fiscal relief program was limited to states and to cities and counties with a population over 500,000, the City’s efforts were critical to ensuring that the County submitted all necessary paperwork to the Treasury Department and to ensuring the County shared a portion with the City. CARES Act funding allocated directly to the City includes: CDBG ..........................$618,736 Byrne JAG ...................$82,398 In addition, as a result of being fully informed about the CARES Act, the City was able to make sure its local partners were aware of CARES Act funding opportunities. Lake Lewisville BLM Mineral Lease The City and its local partners successfully opposed a BLM proposal to lease mineral rights at Laker Lewisville. Lewisville Dam The City worked with the Corps of Engineers and its congressional delegation for a $55 million of emergency supplemental funding to reconstruction of Lewisville Dam, accelerating work on the project. Subsequently, the City successfully opposed the reallocation of funding for reconstruction of the dam to other projects.
